The Pension Protection Act of 2006 recently passed by Congress could help revive the sagging pension system. Under the act, employers will have to fully fund a company’s pension plans.

Several Web sites offer a wide range of information on pension plan rules and laws:

¢ The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (www.pbgc.gov) has information from the government agency designed to protect retirement pension income.
