Quick TVA Pension Update

The TVARS Board has yet to meet to discuss and approve the actual rules to implement the pension changes. I suspect TVA is dragging their feet as long as they can because they might want something different if the appeals court rules before the end of August. TVARS must give 30 days’ notice before the new rules take effect October 1, and I do not believe that can be done until the actual rules are finalized. I believe it is likely that Allen Stokes, Suzan Bowman, et al. will go along and rubber stamp any change requests that TVA might make. All COLAs are now in jeopardy. TVA is trying to use the TVARS approved changes as evidence that COLAs are not vested benefits. That is very clear from TVA's last filing with the court.
