DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A bipartisan bill to restore pensions for retired salaried employees of Delphi has been reintroduced in Congress.
The Susan Muffley Act of 2025 was introduced Feb. 13 by U.S. Rep. Mike Turner (OH-10) and other lawmakers. If passed and signed into law, the SMA would restore pensions for more than 21,000 retirees, including roughly 5,180 in Ohio.
'Named in honor of the late wife of a Delphi retiree, the legislation seeks to provide financial relief to those whose pensions were reduced or eliminated following Delphi's bankruptcy,' said a release.
For several years, former U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown assisted alongside Turner in the attempt to help restore the pensions.
U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (WI-04) said she joined the effort because she claims it has been too long for the former Delphi employees to have funds restored to them.
'It's past overdue for Delphi salaried workers to be made whole through the restoration of their pensions,' said Moore. 'That's why I am proudly joining this important bipartisan effort to ensure these workers receive the retirement benefits they have earned and deserve.'
According to Turner, it may finally be the time that funds are distributed to retirees.
'I have remained steadfast in my fight to restore the pensions of Delphi Salaried Retirees,' said Turner. 'While this has been a long time coming, the strong bipartisan support gives us hope that we can finally right this wrong for those who lost their pensions.'
While operational, a number of Delphi plants were located across the Miami Valley.
