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
