13 Arizona State Retirement System Termination Incentive Plans

14 Arizona State Retirement System A.R.S. § 38-749 “If a termination incentive program that is offered by an employer results in an actuarial unfunded liability to ASRS, the employer shall pay to ASRS the amount of the unfunded liability.”

15 Termination/Retirement Incentives Unfunded liability is still created if incentive does not include ASRS compensation Unfunded liability is still created if all participants are at normal retirement age Unfunded liability cannot be calculated until all participants retire

16 Arizona State Retirement System Retirement unfunded liability is calculated as the difference between: – Present value of all future retirement benefits for active member with age, service and annual compensation equal to actual data at retirement – Present value of retirement benefit for retired member recognizing final benefit calculation and optional form election Health supplement unfunded liability is calculated as the difference between: – Present value of future health supplements for active member with age, service and annual compensation equal to actual data at retirement – The sum of: Present value of actual health supplement payable for two years Present value of assumed health supplements after two years

17 Arizona State Retirement System Example Female Age 64 34.84 years of credited service Pre-1984 membership date Annual salary $72,791 Incentive $25,818 Elected life annuity monthly benefit = $4,745.22 (ignoring partial lump sum) Elected single health supplement of $150 per month

18 Arizona State Retirement System Example Continued Pension Cost – Retirement present value as active = $531,274 – Present value as retired member with elected benefit = $575,879 – Pension cost = $44,605 Health Supplement Cost – Health supplement present value as active member = $8,352 – Health supplement present value as retired member: Health supplement present value as retired member with election for two years = $2,786 Health supplement present value as retired member with assumed supplements after two years = $8,607 – Retired member total = $11,393 – Health supplement cost = $3,041 Total Cost = $47,646
