Summary:

These two fact sheets provide information on proposed legislation concerning financing health benefits for retirees in the coal industry, an issue that has sparked considerable interest because of shortfalls in the two trusts that are providing benefits. GAO responds to questions about the characteristics of the trusts' beneficiaries, the benefits provided, and the present and projected financial condition of the trusts. The first fact sheet focuses solely on benefits accruing to retired coal miners, while the second examines benefits accruing for coal industry retirees in general, including miners and white-collar workers.
