PBGC has released the 2006 PBGC forms to it's software vendors. How are other TPA's proceeding with sending completed PBGC premium payment forms to their clients? Does it make sense to proceed with the calculations of the variable rate premiums for 2006 before Congress has finished work on the pension bills or should we wait to see if we get any relief in interest rates or changes in the actual calculations.

I'm with the waiting camp myself (unless you want to have to explain to your client why you had them pay variable premium on 3.95%, only to find potential relief in a couple of months).
