On June 1, General Motors proposed a new pension plan aimed at reducing their pension liability by 26 billion dollars. The pension plan changes will affect approximately 42,000 qualified U.S. GM retirees and surviving beneficiaries. Since the plan offers either a lump-sum payment or a recurring monthly pension benefit, it is highly suggested that a qualified financial advisor be consulted prior to any final decisions in regard to pension plan option changes. The deadline for pensioners to make a decision is scheduled for July 20, 2012.

What happens to GM dealers if GM goes bankrupt?
If GM declares bankruptcy and stops making the vehicles sold by a GM dealer, then that dealer will have to find something else to sell or go out of business. Some forms of bankruptcy do not require that the company stop operating, but merely require that they operate under the supervision of a court while they sell off assets and reorganize to better pay off their debts. In that kind of a GM bankruptcy, many GM dealers may continue to have product to sell.
