NRECA/NTCA Pension Interest Rates
Many local companies with large pension programs including Basin Electric, West River Telephone and National Information Solutions Cooperative use GATT and/or PBGC interest rates to calculate lump sum distributions. The GATT rate is equal to the 30-year Treasury bond interest rate, while the PBGC rate is set by the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. If you would like to discuss how changes in the rates affect your pension, please call our office.
*Due to recent changes implemented by the PBGC, it is important to understand which rate your company will use to calculate your pension. We will work with you and your employer to determine which rate is used in your plan.
