The General Motors (NYSE:GM) Pension Buyout plan, proposed to reduce their pension liability by an estimated 26 billion dollars, was announced on June 1. The plan will provide select U.S. salaried retirees with a lump-sum payment, while other retirees will be offered a continued monthly pension payment. Seeking out the advice of a competent financial advisor is suggested during this complicated decision-making process. The deadline for plan decisions is set for July 20, 2012.
