Notice of Election to Temporarily Freeze the Fund's Zone Status

This document is about a notice from the New England Health Care Employees Pension Fund regarding their election to temporarily freeze the fund's zone status under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The notice explains that the fund would have been certified as being in "critical" status for the plan year beginning January 1, 2021, but the trustees elected to temporarily freeze the zone status to be the same as the prior year, which eliminates the need to develop a rehabilitation plan at this time. The document provides contact information for more information and states that the pension fund's zone status is certified annually, with the next certification due by March 31, 2022.
