Parent: Independent federal corporation. Domains in this note: pbgc.gov.

What they regulate

PBGC insures certain private-sector defined-benefit pension plans and oversees related terminations and premiums. It does not license securities brokers, insurance producers, or investment advisers. Benefits and retirement desks should confirm SEC/FINRA/state licences separately. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. PBGC home — Insurance for certain private-sector defined-benefit pensions — not a securities broker-dealer register.
  2. PBGC for practitioners — Plan termination and premium context; IRA/annuity sales still need correct licences.
