Insurance geography is not a plant-closing map

Place-of-performance for a termination-insurance award can follow a trustee, a plan administrator, a financial agent, or a PBGC coding choice. An MA tag does not prove four Massachusetts employers terminated plans. Participants in other states can sit behind an MA-coded vehicle, and Massachusetts participants can sit on another state’s extract.

PBGC premium collections and PBGC’s own financial statements are other publications. They are not this four-row USAspending cell. Mixing them with $5,714,770,137.30 changes datasets.

Do not treat 4 awards as 4 famous bankruptcies. Action counts are not headlines.

PBGC’s annual report is a different publication. Mixing premium data with this USAspending join invents a series.
