SECTION I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Westchester Community College 1 Harbridge Consulting Group, L.L.C. Measurement Date: September 1, 2012

The objective of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Accounting Standard No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, is to improve the faithfulness of representations and usefulness of information included in the financial reports of employers regarding other postemployment benefits. Postemployment benefits include health care benefits, life insurance benefits, and, in some cases, sick pay accrual. These benefits arise from an exchange of salaries and benefits for employee services rendered and constitute part of the compensation for those services. The goal is to measure and recognize the cost of postemployment benefits during the period when employees render the services and to provide relevant information about obligations and the extent to which progress is being made in funding these obligations. The following exhibit illustrates the Actuarial Accrued Liability, Annual Required Contribution, Annual OPEB Cost, and Net OPEB Obligation. It should be noted that while the Actuarial Accrued Liability impacts the development of the Annual Required Contribution, it is not a component of the balance sheet or accounting liability. It is, however, required to be disclosed on the Notes to Financial Statements. In addition, the Present Value of Total Future Liability is illustrated for informational purposes only; it is not required to be disclosed. Please refer to Section VIII for a description of GASB 45 terminology.

SECTION VI ASSUMPTIONS & METHODOLOGY


The valuation of postretirement health care benefits involves estimates and assumptions about the probability of events occurring far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the health care cost trend. Calculations are based on the types of benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan at the time of the valuation and on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan members. Calculations reflect a long-term perspective, so methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce short-term volatility. Below is a description of the actuarial assumptions and methodology used in the actuarial valuation. Actuarial Cost Method: Projected Unit Credit Valuation Date: September 1, 2012 Measurement Date: September 1, 2012 Investment Rate of Return: This rate is based on the projected long-term earning rate of the assets expected to be available to pay benefits. Since Westchester Community College does not currently segregate funding for these benefits, the appropriate rate is the expected return on the employers general assets. Mortality: The RP-2000 Mortality Table for annuitants and non-annuitants with projected mortality improvements using Scale AA; specifically as outlined in IRC Regulation 1.430(h)(3)-1 for 2013 valuations. The static mortality tables are projected from the base table for the year 2000 through 2013 with further projection to reflect the approximate expected duration of liabilities, namely 7 years for annuitants and 15 years for non-annuitants. Disability: Rates of decrement due to disability are assumed to be 0%. Turnover: Rates of turnover are based on the experience under the New York State Employees Retirement System (ERS) and the New York State Teachers Retirement System (TRS) reported by New York State as of April 2010. Please refer to Section VIII for these tables. Retirement Incidence: Rates of retirement are based on the experience under the New York State Employees Retirement System (ERS) and the New York State Teachers Retirement System (TRS) reported by New York State as of April 2010. Please refer to Section VIII for these tables.

Expected Return on Plan Assets 0.00%

Expected Return on Employers General Assets 4.50%

Investment Rate of Return Selected 4.50%



Election Percentage: It was assumed that 100% of future retirees eligible for coverage will elect postretirement health care benefits. Future retirees were assumed to elect coverage in medical plans at the following rates:

Union Group

Medical Plan

% of Retirees Electing Coverage

CSEA, Management, Nurses POMCO Health Plan 100%

Teachers POMCO Teacher Health Plan 100%

Current retirees were assumed to continue participation in their current plans. Spousal Coverage: 85% of future retirees are assumed to elect spousal coverage upon retirement, with male spouses assumed to be three years older and female spouses assumed to be three years younger than the retiree. Per Capita Costs: Retiree claim cost information for the POMCO Health Plan and POMCO Teacher Health Plan were not sufficiently credible. Therefore, to develop a baseline cost assumption, we used actual experience from other medical studies with similar plan designs and used mathematical smoothing techniques to develop reasonable assumptions for estimating current retiree costs. The following tables present the average expected health care costs, excluding administrative fees for the POMCO Health Plan and POMCO Teacher Health Plan, per capita, for fiscal year 2013:

SECTION VII PLAN PROVISIONS


Plan Eligibility: Age 55 with 5 Years of Service with Westchester County and eligible to receive a pension from the NYS Retirement System. Duration of Coverage: Retiree benefits continue for the life of the retiree. Spousal benefits continue for the life of the spouse. Surviving Spouse Coverage: Surviving spouses are permitted to continue coverage after the death of the retiree, but are responsible for paying 100% of premium (less Part B premium for post-65 surviving spouses). Retiree Contributions: Retirees contribute a portion of medical premiums based on group and years of service at retirement. Those retirees who are members of the Teachers, Management, and Nurses Union groups do not contribute to postretirement health care benefits for single coverage and contribute 20% of the family minus single premium for dependent coverage. CSEA retirees are subject to the following contribution schedule:

Years of Service at Retirement

Retiree Contribution

Dependent Contribution

5-10 50% of premium 65% of family minus single premium

10-19 25% of premium 40% of family minus single premium

20+ 0% of premium 20% of family minus single premium

Retirees are not required to contribute to the Dental Plan.

Medicare Part B: Medicare Part B premiums are reimbursed at 100% for post-65 retirees and dependents. Premiums for surviving spouses are not reimbursed, but the contribution rate for surviving spouses is net of Part B premiums. For purposes of this valuation, we have assumed reimbursement at the basic level and that there will be no additional reimbursement due to the income surcharge. Medical Benefits: Retiree medical benefits are provided through the POMCO Health Plan and POMCO Teacher Health Plan. The POMCO Health Plan and the POMCO Teacher Health Plan are self-insured experience rated PPO plans. Monthly premiums for the plan year from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 are presented in the following table:

Health Care Reform: The Affordable Care Act has a financial impact on employers who sponsor postretirement health care benefits and therefore certain provisions are reflected in the GASB 45 valuation. The excise tax is reflected starting in 2018. The excise tax is 40% of the excess amount the plans health care cost exceeds limits as defined in the legislation. The 2018 limits are detailed below and are scheduled to increase with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 1% for calendar years beginning before 2020 and with CPI for all years thereafter.

Family $27,500 $30,950

* A qualified retiree is receiving coverage by reason of being a retiree, is over age 55, and not entitled

to benefits or eligible for enrollment under the Medicare program.

SECTION VIII SUMMARY OF GASB 45 & REFERENCED TABLES


SUMMARY OF GASB 45 GASB 45 Statement The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Accounting Standard No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, covers postemployment benefits including health care benefits, life insurance benefits, and, in some cases, sick pay accrual. GASB 45 requires employers to recognize these benefits on an accrual basis rather than pay-as-you-go. Effective Date Statement 45 becomes effective in three phases, based on the annual revenues of the employer. The phase in which an employer should implement GASB 45 is the same as the employers phase for the purpose of implementing Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statementsand Managements Discussion and Analysis-for State and Local Governments. The total revenue was based on the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 1999. A new revenue calculation is not required.

Phase Effective for Period Beginning After Total Annual Revenue

Phase 1 December 15, 2006 $100 million or more

Phase 2 December 15, 2007 $10 million up to $100

million

Phase 3 December 15, 2008 Less than $10 million

Valuation Frequency For financial reporting purposes, a full actuarial valuation should be performed at the following minimum frequency.

a. Biennially for plans with a total membership of 200 or more b. Triennially for plans with a total membership of fewer than 200

Interim valuations, or roll-forwards, may be performed in years in which a full valuation is not required.



GASB 45 Terminology: Present Value of Total Future Liability The present value of total future liability represents the total future benefits expected to be paid to current and future retirees as a result of their service through the valuation date as well as any expected future service. The present value of total future liability is the cost to finance benefits payable in the future, discounted to reflect the expected effects of the time value of money and the probabilities of payment. Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) - The AAL is the actuarial present value of future benefits based on employees' service rendered to the measurement date using the selected actuarial cost method. Retirees & Dependents former employees who have satisfied the age and service requirement

and are currently receiving postretirement health care benefits Actives Fully Eligible active employees who have satisfied the age and service requirement for

postretirement health care benefits. Actives Not Fully Eligible active employees who have not yet satisfied the age and service

requirement for postretirement health care benefits. Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) - The excess of the Actuarial Accrued Liability over the Actuarial Value of Assets. For an unfunded plan, the UAAL is equal to the AAL. Normal Cost The present value of future benefits earned by employees during the current fiscal year. Annual Required Contributions of the Employer (ARC) - If the plan were funded, the ARC would equal the employers periodic required contributions to a defined benefit OPEB plan, calculated in accordance with the GASB #45 parameters. For non-funded plans, this amount is calculated and used to increase the net unfunded OPEB Obligation. Annual OPEB Cost - An accrual-basis measure of the periodic cost of an employers participation in a defined benefit OPEB plan. The Annual OPEB Cost is recorded as an expense and disclosed in the government-wide financial statement. Net OPEB Obligation - The cumulative difference as of the effective date of this Statement between annual OPEB cost and the employers contributions to the plan, including the OPEB liability (asset) at transition, if any, and excluding (a) short-term differences and (b) unpaid contributions that have been converted to OPEB-related debt. The Net OPEB Obligation is represented as a balance sheet liability in the Statement of Net Assets.
