FAS 106 Valuations

The Accounting Standard that required employers to recognize their liabilities for the benefits of retirees is now more than a decade old. In that time, firms have recognized billions of dollars in liabilities, made significant plan changes and/or terminated benefits, and explored multiple funding options. Basic FAS 106 calculations are now fairly routine in the industry.

Management of Retiree Medical Plans is, however, far from routine:

  • Retirees have seen their benefits extensively reduced;
  • Active employees are now faced with significant personal liability for healthcare in retirement, often with little help from their employers;
  • New funding options and other liability-management tools continue to be developed;
  • We believe that responsible employers will want to continue to assist retirees with health benefits, provided the cost is reasonable and the liability is limited;
  • Our practice is dedicated to helping employers and employees identify ways to do manage these significant corporate and personal liabilities.
