Stabilizing Overall Benefit Costs Over the past decade, benefit costs increased from approximately $82,500 per active registrant to approximately $98,200. Over the last five years, the total benefit costs increased by 6.5%, primarily due to an increase in Welfare Plan costs that was partially offset by a reduction in Pension Plan costs. For 2020, overall benefit costs dropped $139 million with a $137 million fall in pension contributions as actuarial costs expired. Fully Funded Pension Plan The industry pension plan – the ILWU-PMA Pension Plan – is world-class, and has seen major upgrades since the seminal technology agreement of 2002. Since 2014 asset growth outpaced liabilities and funding percentage improved from 70% to over 100%, even with nearly 20% increase in benefit levels. Currently, the 2020 maximum yearly retirement benefit is $93,240 and will increase to $95,460 on July 1, 2021. At the end of calendar year 2020, the Plan paid $35.8 million per month to 9,204 benefit recipients. As of 2019, the Pension Plan became fully funded.
