U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer recently urged Congress to pass the American Miners Pension Act. The act aims to secure the pensions of United States coal miners and their families, which are currently under threat due to the coal industry’s decline. Schumer stated that the Act would affect more than 100,000 miners and their families, providing them with necessary financial stability. The act would not increase taxpayers’ liability, but would use a surplus from the Abandoned Mine Land fund to finance the pensions.
