TURNER and Issa Continue Longstanding Support of Delphi Retirees

Press Release

Congressman Mike Turner, a senior member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and former Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-49) have worked for years to hold the Obama Administration accountable and assist the Delphi Salaried Retirees.

Congressman Turner and Congressman Issa met with Delphi Salaried Retirees to reaffirm their support for the ongoing effort to restore the retirees' pensions, receive an update on the retirees' access to documents and information, and offer their continued assistance as the retirees work toward a resolution.

After today's meeting, Congressman Turner released a letter requesting an update on the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's (PBGC) efforts to comply with the law and conduct public outreach regarding the renewal and extension of the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC).

Congressman Turner's statement:

"Seven years ago, the Administration picked winners and losers and today we reaffirmed our support for the over 20,000 Delphi Salaried Retirees whose pensions and benefits were unjustly terminated. Today, I sent a letter to the Director of the PBGC requesting a much-needed update on their efforts to provide information to those retirees who qualify for the HCTC. Together, Congressman Issa and I have fought to hold the Administration accountable, release documents, and provide access to information for these retirees. We will continue supporting the retirees as they continue their fight to have their pensions restored."

Congressman Issa's statement:

"Justice is long overdue for the Delphi salaried pensioners. For years they have tirelessly sought answers and accountability from the Obama Administration. I remain committed to their cause and ensuring we do whatever we can to make sure that we don't allow those in power to play politics with peoples' retirements."
