1 Virginia Retirement System Overview Presented to: House Appropriations Compensation and Retirement Subcommittee Presenter: Patricia S. Bishop Director of the Virginia Retirement System Date: January 18, 2018
2 Key Messages Pension reforms have effectively addressed the cost of benefits. Hybrid Retirement Plan introduced risk sharing with employees and reduced potential for future unfunded liabilities. Savings from pension reforms will be fully realized in the future as the hybrid plan becomes the dominant plan. Legacy unfunded liability being amortized over closed 30-year period with 26 years remaining. Future liabilities amortized over shorter 20- year closed periods. 2
3 Key Messages Governor and General Assembly accelerated: Statutory commitment to fund 100% of actuarially determined contributions Repayment of deferred contributions from biennium Fully repaid State plans Significant infusion ($193 million) into the Teacher plan Actions improve health of plans and avoid adding future costs to the plans. Funded status of statewide plans has stabilized and is expected to trend upwards with the actions taken by the Governor and General Assembly to get to 100% of Board-certified rates, given experience aligns with assumptions. 3
