Key Points

  • The Supreme Court held in M & K Employee Solutions, LLC v. Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund that MEPPs may adopt actuarial assumptions after the measurement date when calculating withdrawal liability.  
  • The decision allows MEPP actuaries to set or revise discount rates after the measurement date and apply them retroactively, so long as they are supported by data and actuarial standards.
