About NCCMP
The National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans (NCCMP) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that advocates for and protects multiemployer plans and the participants, beneficiaries, and sponsors they serve. Since 1975, it has worked to ensure these plans can deliver health benefits and retirement security with minimal interference.
The NCCMP is led by a voluntary Board of Directors representing unions, employers, and plans. A Steering Committee of Contributing and Sustaining Members provides technical feedback, while professional staff and consultants - including actuaries, attorneys, and benefits experts - manage daily operations and advance the organization's mission.

What We Do
The NCCMP is the only national organization dedicated exclusively to protecting the interests of active and retired American workers, their families, and the multiemployer health and retirement plans they rely on. We advocate at all levels of the federal government on behalf of workers, retirees, employers, and labor unions that jointly sponsor these plans.
Our work safeguards health and welfare benefits for more than 25 million Americans and pension benefits for over 11 million, helping ensure that multiemployer plans remain stable, sustainable, and able to deliver on promises made to working families.
Key priorities include:
- Preserving the Special Financial Assistance program to protect earned pension benefits and maintain Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) solvency
- Educating policymakers on the unique structure and value of multiemployer pension plans
- Advocating for the spirit of the No Surprises Act, to protect patients from surprise medical bills, while reforming archaic Independent Dispute Resolution (IDP) proceedings
- Clarifying mental health parity compliance and opposing taxes on employment-based health care
- Protecting Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) preemption, guiding Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) reform, and ensuring federal reforms account for multiemployer plan needs
