the congressional budget office originally estimated it would cost taxpayers $86 billion. five months later, pbgc estimated it would likely distribute $94.2 billion. after two more months, they estimated it would likely distribute $97.2 billion, and in one scenario could distribute upwards of $147 billion. to date, pbgc has disbursed $6.7 billion to 26 plans, and this is just the beginning. in april, the central state, southeast and southwest areas pension plans requested a staggering $35 billion from taxpayers. pbgc is reviewing an additional eight applications, requesting a total of $1.1 billion. in all, pbgc is expected to send money to over 250 pension plans. pbgc has confirmed what we knew to be true but others refused to admit, arpa's taxpayer-funded bailout will not fix a thing. in september, the agency stated the massive influx of taxpayer dollars will only delay the immediate insolvency of the multiemployer insurance program and insolvency is still likely. simply throwing money at plans will not solve the problem. arpa failed to address the underlying structural i
