Prior service cost should not be recognized as pension expense entirely in the year of initiation, but should be recognized during the service periods of those employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan. Consequently, unrecognized prior service cost is amortized over the service life of the employees who will receive benefits and is a component of net period pension expense each period.

Is the gm pension safe in a bankruptcy?

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.
