Reported by PLANSPONSOR staff
Effective August 5, 2013, current participants stopped earning benefits in the plan, according to a news report from Business Insurance.

Employees affected by the freeze will receive an enhanced 401(k) plan matching contribution.
The news report also said that the company’s pension plans, including the plan most recently frozen, have about 7,100 participants, including 1,500 active employees.
