Office of the Secretary, DOT OST-2010-0118 I agree it is time to adjust the PNW guidelines for inflation. But more importantly, I believe one's defined benefit pension plan should not be included in PNW calculations, just as the value of a government or private sector employee's future pension checks are not included in their PNW calculations. Why should DBEs with relatively low annual earnings be penalized in these uncertain times for maximizing pension savings over the course of their careers?
