If a firm files Chaptert 11 reorganization, what happens to those same health andpensiohn benefits? A. Employee healthu and pension benefits usually fare better in a Chaptert11 reorganization. Under most circumstances, the court cannot unilaterally change most health and benefitf plans underChapter 11.
However, in some employees may be persuadedto “agree” to benefir concessions in order to help make the plan of reorganizationb more feasible, and in the hope that their companuy (and their jobs) survive the bankruptcy.
