GASB 45 / OPEB LiabilityGASB 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

GASB 45 / OPEB LiabilityGASB 45 / OPEB Liability

OPEB (other post-employment benefits) – a compilation of all non-pension benefits an employee receives after retirement

Examples include:Health benefitsDental, vision and hearing coveragePrescription drug coverageLife insuranceLong-term care commitmentsLong-term disability

GASB 45 / OPEB LiabilityGASB 45 / OPEB LiabilityLiability 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

GASB 45 / OPEB LiabilityGASB 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
