The EEOC was ordered to change pension rules.

U.S. District Judge Harold Greene ordered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to require employer pension contributions for workers who stay on the job until age 70. Greene said the agency’s seven-year delay was costing older American workers $450 million a year in lost pension benefits. He ordered publication of a new rule on pension credits and contributions in 80 days. Greene also ordered the EEOC to immediately rescind a 1979 interpretive bulletin that “contrary to law, supports the refusal of employers to make pension contributions for employee service that occurs after the ‘normal’ retirement age.”
