WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report tracks the experience of five states that shifted new employees away from defined benefit (DB) pensions to defined contribution (DC) or cash balance plans. Among states that switched to a DC plan, costs rose, negative cash flow grew, and employee turnover increased. Additionally, the retirement security of plan participants in DC plans was negatively impacted because of a high degree of "leakage" of retirement assets from the DC accounts that replaced pension plans.

Key Points:
