Summary

The corporation must send the President and Congress a report as soon as possible after each fiscal year ends. The report must include year‑end financial statements showing its finances and how money was received and spent, and an actuarial estimate of the expected condition and operations of the funds under section 1305 for the next five years, with detailed assumptions and methods. The report must also summarize the Pension Insurance Modeling System microsimulation model with the exact settings used, compare the corporation’s average investment return for the year to a benchmark made of 60% of the S&P 500 return plus 40% of the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (or similar), and say what the deficit or surplus would have been if the corporation had earned that benchmark return.
