Section 21573-Third Level of 1959 Survivor Benefits for Local MISCELLANEOUS PLAN Members.
The Third Leve1959 Survivor Benefit is administered by pooling the assets and liabilities of many public agencies
that have already contracted for this benefit. There are two components that constitute the total cost to join the pool.
The normal cost is an annual cost that is required to fund the benefit for current (active) members for the coming
year. In addition, an unfunded liability may be created due to the immediate increased benefits that current survivors
would receive. Current Ca1PERS policy for existing 1959 Survivor agencies requires payment of the agency's first
year normal cost and the total unfunded liability incurred at the higher level. Agencies will be allowed to amortize
this unfunded liability over a period of 5 years. Further, it is CaIPERS'policy to allow agencies migrating to a higher
level to use as much of their allocated surplus as necessary to pay the unfunded liability(if any)and their first year's
normal cost. In years 2 through 5,migrating agencies will be required to make annual amortization payments(if any)
on the unfunded liability,yet will be considered a part of the pool for normal cost purposes and will be able to share
in the pool's surplus to pay their annual normal costs. Be aware that the pool's surplus may not be used to pay for
any of the unfunded liability alluded to earlier.
Based on current experience, Ca1PER5 expects that surplus assets in the Third Level pool will pay employer normal
costs for approximately the next 3 years. These annual normal costs are based on the experience of the pool and are
subject to change from year to year. Due to this uncertainty, it is impossible to predict precisely how long these
surplus assets will last or what the eventual annual costs would be when the surplus is exhausted.
Below we have provided a breakdown of the two components of your employer cost should you choose to join the
pool. If your agency has enough assets to offset the increase in liability(if any)and the first year's normal cost at the
higher level,this will be reflected as a negative unfunded liability payment below. And, if your agency has enough
assets to offset the increase in liability,yet not enough to pay the entire first-year normal cost,the required first year
normal cost payment will be pro-rated accordingly. For the fiscal year 1998-99 the CalPERS Board of
Administration approved employer normal cost rates of$0.00 per active member,per month.
As of June 30, 1997 this member group is estimated to have an unfunded liability for the Third Level of the 1959
Survivor Benefit amounting to $0.00 and an active member count of 628. Costs displayed below are good until
normal cost rates for the next fiscal year are approved by the Board(generally around mid-August).
FIRST YEAR EMPLOYER COST
$0 First Year Normal Cost(Normal Cost x active member count x 12)
$0 Unfunded Liability Payment
$0 Total First Year Cost
EMPLOYEE MONTHLY COST
$2.00 per month($0.93 bi-weekly)
If you are currently a I"or 2nd level 1959 Survivor Agency,the resulting portion of your current
employer rate attributable to the 1959 Survivor Benefit will be 0.000%.
