The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21, Pub. L. No. 112-141) was enacted on July 6, 2012. Section 40233(a) of MAP-21 requires the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to contract with a capable agency or organization that is independent of PBGC, to conduct annual peer reviews of the Single-Employer (SE) Pension Insurance Modeling System (PIMS) and Multiemployer (ME) PIMS.
