1 California State Employees Retiree Healthcare Benefits GASB 45 Projections December 13, 2007

2 2 Agenda – GASB 45 Projections  Background  Updates to valuation as of July 1, 2007  Trend sensitivity scenarios ► Closed group projections  Open group projections ► Funding policy scenarios

3 3 Background  Key economic assumption used in GASB 45 valuation includes future healthcare trend ► Long-term GASB 45 projections assume select and ultimate trend pattern After 10 to 15 years, ultimate trend rate approaches price inflation plus 100 to 200 basis points ► Based on GDP model If trend increases by 10% in all future years, healthcare would comprise a significant portion of GDP Not sustainable, so long term projections assume trend decreases to lower ultimate trend ► But historical data over the past 15 years indicates trend increased by approximately 8% to 10% or about five to seven percentage points over price inflation Select and ultimate pattern has not materialized

4 4 Background  Purpose of study is to evaluate the sensitivity of healthcare inflation assumption ► Perform 30-year projections of GASB 45 accrual and cash costs under various healthcare trend scenarios ► Based on closed group, i.e. no future hires included in projections Alternative is to evaluate sensitivity on an open group basis  Also, adjusted valuation at July 1, 2007, to reflect updated premiums effective as of January 1, 2008

5 5 Updated Valuation as July 1, 2007  Premiums for calendar year 2008 increased by 5.9% for PPO and 2.8% for HMO ► Based on information developed by CalPERS staff ► Recognizes impact of plan design changes and recent claims experience  Updated costs are for illustration purposes only ► FY 07/08 financial reporting based on valuation released on May 7, 2007 ► Updated valuation decreases costs by approximately 3.5%

7 7 Trend Sensitivity Scenarios  Trend scenarios include – ► Baseline trend 9.5% in CY 2009, decreasing by 50 basis points each year until ultimate rate of 4.5% is reached in CY 2017 ► Increase trend by 100 basis points 10.5% in CY 2009, decreasing by 50 basis points each year until ultimate rate of 5.5% is reached in CY 2017 ► Flat trend 10.0% from CY 2009 to CY 2017, and 6% on and after CY 2018

9 9 Trend Sensitivity Scenarios – Actuarial Liabilities  Compounding effect of healthcare trend increases actuarial liabilities  After 30 years, pay-as-you-go baseline actuarial liabilities increase by – ► 47% if trend increased by 100 basis points ► 92% if trend is flat at 10% for first 10 years, and 6% thereafter  After 30 years, full-funding baseline actuarial liabilities increase by – ► 44% if trend increased by 100 basis points ► 87% if trend is flat at 10% for first 10 years, and 6% thereafter

13 13 Actuarial Liabilities – Full Funding Closed Group

14 14 Annual Required Contribution – PAYGO Closed Group

15 15 Annual Required Contribution – Full Funding Closed Group

16 16 Benefit Payments Closed Group

17 17 Open Group Projections  Open group projections assumes stable active population  Based on current trend assumptions with CY 2008 plan design changes  Three funding scenarios – ► Pay-as-you-go, full-funding, and bifurcated funding

18 18 Open Group Projections  Bifurcated funding policy ► Explicit subsidies earned after July 1, 2007, are fully funded Represents future normal costs of explicit subsidy Explicit subsidy is cash premium paid by employer ► All other benefits funded on a pay-as-you-go basis Actuarial accrued liability at July 1, 2007 Future implicit subsidy earned after July 1, 2007

20 20 Open Group Projections  Key observations: ► After 30 years, Bifurcated policy actuarial liability is 8% higher than full funding actuarial liability Funded ratio is 40% under bifurcated policy and 48% under full funded policy Balance sheet liability is controlled ► Over 30-year projection period, Bifurcated ARC is 5% to 10% higher than full funding ARC ► When compared to full funding policy, employer contributions under bifurcated policy are lower during first six years and slightly higher after the sixth year
