  18. GASB 45 / OPEB Liability Historically, governments accounted for retiree health care benefits on pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) basis. • Cost of covering active employees was only a function of current year costs • Did not reflect total cost of employee health coverage …only included current year • Without projected future costs, governmental entities’ financial statements did not fully disclose all costs • GASB requires disclosure of future costs associated with current services • Those future costs are classified as OPEB

  19. GASB 45 / OPEB Liability OPEB (other post-employment benefits) – a compilation of all non-pension benefits an employee receives after retirement Examples include: • Health benefits • Dental, vision and hearing coverage • Prescription drug coverage • Life insurance • Long-term care commitments • Long-term disability

  20. GASB 45 / OPEB Liability Liability calculation assumptions: • Benefit composition • Medical inflation • Turnover rate • Mortality assumption • Will employee live to reach retirement? • How long will retiree live in retirement? • Discount rate • Other factors that affect number of dependents

  21. GASB 45 / OPEB Liability • GASB 45 does not require funding of the calculated liability • Decision to fund or not is significant: • Funded plans have lower liabilities • Unfunded plans have larger liabilities • Rating agencies may consider funding • Funding requirements are strict; funds must be held in irrevocable trust • Depending on funding or not: State’s liability now stands at $13.7 billion over 30 years….and growing
