New York State/SUNY GASB 75/45 Valuation – Actuarial Assumption Reports

Under the Government Accounting Standard Board’s (GASB) Statement 75/45, government employers need to value their obligations for other postemployment benefits (OPEB). OPEB refers to the benefits, other than pensions, that a state or local government employee receives as part of his or her package of retirement benefits.

To assist Participating Agencies (PAs) and Participating Employers (PEs) of the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) value their OPEB obligation under GASB 75/45, the New York State Department of Civil Service has made available Actuarial Assumption Reports that present assumptions and rationale used in the development of New York State and SUNY GASB Valuations.
