The Department of Labor filed and submitted an amicus brief in Konya v. Lockheed Martin and made the brief publicly available.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s official news release dated January 9, 2026, states that it filed an amicus brief in Konya v. Lockheed Martin, No. 25-2061. The release explains that the brief seeks to clarify the “proper constraints and liberties” when a business derisks by transferring its pension plan liabilities to an annuity provider, explicitly framing this as clarifying the legal framework for pension risk transfers. A repost of the same release and independent background on Konya v. Lockheed Martin confirm that the case centers on pension risk transfer transactions. The verdict is True because primary documentation from the Department of Labor confirms both the filing of the amicus brief in Konya v. Lockheed Martin and that its stated purpose is to clarify legal standards for pension risk transfers.
