Actuarial Note Summary

Impact this measure will have on the liabilities and contributions associated with the retirement system(s).


    The bill clarifies that a member’s retirement date is the later of being first eligible for unreduced benefits, termination of employment and completing a proper application with the CPRB. It further clarifies that at actual retirement, the accrued benefit based on service and average pay at termination of employment is the benefit payable regardless of retirement date. Further, that late retirement provides a minimum benefit equal to the accrued benefit at the earliest unreduced retirement date had the member terminated employment actuarially adjusted to the actual late retirement date.
    
    These provisions clarify current CPRB practice and have no impact on either the Normal Cost nor Actuarial Accrued Liabilities of the plan.
