Congress has a responsibility to protect the retirement health benefits earned by our nation's senior citizens, many of whom spent their entire careers at Fortune 500 companies.  

    Specifically, this legislation will:

 1.      Prohibit group health plans from making post-retirement reductions in retiree benefits;

2.      Require plans to adopt provisions barring post-retirement cuts in retiree health benefits;

3.      Require employers to restore benefits reduced after retirement;

4.      Provide an exemption for employers who are unable to restore benefits because they would experience substantial business hardship to be determined by the Secretary of Labor; and,

5.      Create a loan guarantee program to assist employers in restoring retiree health benefits.
