The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, or PBGC is responsible for insuring your pension benefits. In most cases, your pension benefit would be insured up to certain limits. For 2009, a 65 year old has a maximum insured benefit of $54,000 annually. So, as long as your pension benefit is equal to, or less than this limit, you'd still have your full pension benefit even if your company goes under or the pension plan terminates.

What happens to variable annuities when the insurance company goes bankrupt?

Generally, when an insurance company goes bankrupt, the guarantees that are being offered on the contract are gone. For instance, if you have a death benefit, or a income guarantee, those will usually be lost. As for the money you've invested in the variable annuity, if your money is invested in the sub-accounts (the various investments that are usually managed by mutual fund management whose names you will usually recognize), that money is still being managed by those companies, and is separate from the now bankrupt insurance company. That is the long way of saying, your money in the sub accounts is safe. However, if you have money in the fixed interest account, that is usually held by the insurance company, and that money may be in jeopardy.
