Michigan is Home to More Than 5,800 Delphi Retirees
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) helped reintroduce the Susan Muffley Act of 2025. This bipartisan legislation would restore the pensions of more than 21,000 Delphi salaried retirees – including over 5,800 Michiganders – and provide payback for the past 15 years. Peters has been a consistent advocate of the legislation and supporting Delphi retirees.
“Every Michigander deserves the retirement benefits they earned during their career,” said Senator Peters. “The Susan Muffley Act is a bipartisan solution that would finally restore the benefits that the over 5,800 Delphi retirees in Michigan were promised and worked their whole lives to secure. I’ve been a proud cosponsor of this commonsense bill and will continue working to see it passed into law.”
Named in honor of the late wife of a Delphi salaried retiree, the Susan Muffley Act of 2025 would restore the pensions of those who lost their earned benefits.
If enacted, the Susan Muffley Act of 2025 would ensure Delphi salaried retirees receive payment covering the pension benefits they should have received over the past 15 years, with 6 percent interest added to account for the delay. The legislation would also fully restore their pensions going forward.
Peters has long fought to protect Michiganders’ hard-earned benefits and ability to retire with dignity and security. Peters cosponsored and helped pass the Social Security Fairness Act to ensure public sector workers receive their full Social Security benefits. Peters also championed the Butch Lewis Act, signed into law in 2021, which would address multi-employer pension plans facing insolvency without sacrificing workers’ benefits. Additionally, Peters is also a proud cosponsor of, and has urged Congress to pass, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which would strengthen the federal laws that protect workers’ right to form a union to collectively bargain for better wages and benefits.
