BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Pension rules should be updated: Senate Finance Committee chairman

“In today's economy, workers are carrying more and more of the load in preparation for retirement.

Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said in a Tuesday statement released in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

As part of its comprehensive examination of the U.S. Tax Code, Sen. Wyden said the Finance Committee will “take a close look at pension and retirement rules … to make improvements wherever they're needed.”

He also said retirement plan issues will be discussed at committee hearings later this fall.
