Notes

(1) P.L. 2003, c. 108 allows for a phase-in basis with 20% of the actuarially calculated amount for 2005. This approach will continue with 40% due in 2005, 60% due in 2006, 80% due in 2007, until 100% of the actuarial amount is due in 2008.

(2) P.L. 2009, c. 19 allows for a deferral of 50% on normal contributions and accrued liability. Non contributory insurance is not subject to the deferral. The deferral amount will be amortized for 15 years for payments beginning 2012.

(3)P.L. 2011, c. 78, Pension Reform, reduces the rate from 11.72% to 11.14%. This is due to the elimination of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA).
