Retiree Health Benefits at Selected Government Contractors (open access)

Retiree Health Benefits at Selected Government Contractors

Correspondence issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Since World War II, some employers have voluntarily sponsored postretirement health plans as a benefit to their employees. According to government sources, these health plans constitute the primary source of health coverage for retirees aged 55 to 64 and supplemental coverage for nearly one third of retirees aged 65 or older with Medicare coverage. However, with costs already amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars for large employers and the baby boom generation nearing retirement age, employers are taking actions to control the costs of providing these benefits. In response to concerns that government contractors may be receiving underserved financial benefits by reducing retiree health benefits that were paid for under government contracts, we reviewed (1) what changes, if any, government contractors had made to their retiree health benefit plans and (2) the extent to which government agencies oversee retiree health benefit costs."

Social Security: Congress Should Consider Revising the Government Pension Offset 'Loophole'

Testimony issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "The Government Pension Offset (GPO) exemption was enacted in 1977 to equalize the treatment of workers covered by Social Security and those with government pensions not covered by Social Security. Congress asked GAO to (1) assess the extent to which individuals retiring from jobs not covered by Social Security may be transferring briefly to covered jobs in order to avoid the GPO, and (2) estimate the impact of such transfers on the Social Security Trust Fund."
