An act approved by Congress during 2006, but effective for US Pension Plans and their associated benefit payments starting as of January 1, 2008. There are many aspects to this Act that need to be opined upon by the Internal Revenue Service before any employers or employees can make any compliance or benefit distribution decisions including minimum lump sum provisions for employees leaving their employer to retiree or (possibly under the terms of the plan document) go to another employer where their pension plan allows a rollover lump sum. Also to be determined is the minimum funding provisions for employers. The IRS is to expected to issue guidance during 2007 and 2008, and as of July 11, 2007, has not committed to a schedule for releasing specific pieces of guidance about how to calculate lump sumps or as to are what the appropriate funding targets.

The Pension Protection Act (PPA) is a federal law enacted in 2006 that aims to protect the retirement benefits of employees and ensure the financial stability of pension plans. It includes provisions related to funding requirements, disclosure and reporting requirements, and tax incentives for retirement savings. The PPA also introduced reforms to defined contribution plans, such as automatic enrollment and the availability of target-date funds.
