https:/crsreports.congress.gov November 20, 2019Health and Pension Benefits for United Mine Workers of America Retirees: Recent LegislationThe United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) is a labor union that primarily represents coal mine workers. Eligible UMWA members receive postretirement health and pension benefits from one of three multiemployer health benefit plans and one multiemployer pension plan. A multiemployer plan is sponsored by more than one employer and is maintained as part of a collective bargaining agreement. Legislation in the 116th Congress would expand the eligibility for retiree health plans to receive federal transfers and authorize federal transfers to the UWMA pension plan. UMWA Retiree Health Plans The three multiemployer retiree health plans for UMWA members are (1) the Combined Benefit Fund (CBF), (2) the UMWA 1992 Health Benefit Plan (1992 Plan), and (3) the UMWA 1993 Health Benefit Plan (1993 Plan). Table 1 summarizes information about the health plans in the 2017 plan year (the most recent information available). Table 1.
