CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2022
Note 13. Other Postemployment Benefits Program – VRS Plans (Continued)
Contribution Requirements (continued)
Teacher and Non-Teacher Employee Health Insurance Credit Programs:
The contribution requirement for active employees is governed by §51.1-1401(E) of the Code of Virginia, as amended, but may be impacted as a result of funding provided to school divisions by the Virginia General Assembly. Each school division’s contractually required employer contribution rate for the year ended June 30, 2022 was 1.21% of covered employee compensation for employees in the THIC Program and 0.7% for employees in the NTHIC Program. This rate was based on an actuarially determined rate from an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019 for the THIC plan and June 30 ,2020 for the NTHIC plan. The actuarially determined rate was expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. Contributions from the school division to the VRS THIC Program were $1,024,485, and $1,010,627 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Contributions from the school division to the VRS NTHIC program were $62,748 and $52,518 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
During the 2020 session, House Bill 1513 was enacted. This bill required the addition of Health Insurance Credit benefits for non-teacher employees effective July 1, 2021. While benefit payments became effective July 1, 2021 employers were required to pre-fund the benefits beginning July 1, 2020. The bill impacted 95 employers and resulted in approximately $2.5 million of additional employer contributions in FY2021.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
GLI, THIC, NTHIC and VLDP:
The long-term expected rate of return on the System’s investments was determined using a log-normal distribution analysis in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of System’s investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target asset allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized below:
