The Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund , which became the first plan to seek bailout money under the PBGC Special Financial Assistance program for troubled multiemployer plans as well as the first plan to withdraw their application, probably due to the use of 5.32% as the SFA Interest rate instead of 5.38%, have refiled and are now asking for $4 million more.
The revised application is not online yet but my calculation of the original application amount does tie into $706,400,534 using the 5.32% interest rate. Changing the interest rate to 5.38% should lower the amount by about $2 million yet the revised amount that Local 707 wants is $710,402,487 which implies that other assumptions would have changed in addition to the interest rate. If so, other applicants might want to consider withdrawing and refiling.

Are they first or last on approval list? You would think that if the other funds are going to withdraw their application, why wouldn’t they do it now?
