The American Rescue Plan has successfully protected over one million pensions across the United States. Key figures in this effort include Rep. Sherrill, who highlighted the protection of over 18,000 pensions in New Jersey, and Sen. Bob Casey, who announced last week the safeguarding of more than 6,700 pensions for Pennsylvania bakery and confectionery workers. Casey joined union leaders and retirees to make this announcement. The Ways and Means Committee also emphasized their role in resolving the multiemployer pension crisis, ensuring financial security for workers. Additionally, the Biden Administration confirmed that over 100,000 workers and retirees have benefited from the pension relief provided by the American Rescue Plan. The Butch Lewis Act, part of the American Rescue Plan, has been instrumental in preventing severe cuts to pensions, as noted by Rep. Cleaver. Rep. Wexton also praised the plan for protecting 17,000 pensions in Virginia, underscoring its impact on financial security for hardworking Americans.
