The plan earned a 6.64 percent rate of return on its investments in 2019 ($1.7 billion), which is still below the plan’s annual expectation of 7.75 percent. At that point, federal retirees were permitted to deduct from their Oregon Income taxes, the amount of pension income attributable to work prior to October 1991 (when the Oregon Supreme Court ruling was finalized), while being taxed on that portion of pension income attributable to work performed after October 1991. I repeat my long-held, and frequently repeated maxim - ELECTIONS MATTER!

Member’s PERS account x 2 x annuity factor Full Formula (defined benefit) Final average salary x years of service x 1.67% (2% for police & fire employees) Member receives the best of both. (The fact that it is in the employee’s name is probably because the Legislature didn’t want to get slapped with a “wage theft” claim in the Oregon Supreme Court). In short, the employers, the Board, and the Legislature used creative techniques that allowed PERS employers to deliberately underfund their contributions to the system. That said, I fully expect more PERS reform to be on the 2021 Legislative Agenda. My advice. For the amount above $60,000 you use the same fraction of your career in Period 2 and multiply that fraction on the amount of your benefit above $60,000.

Following the income tax remedy negotiations, the employers were expected to cover the cost of this in their current contributions.

Adding to the PERS angst is the recent US Supreme Court decision in Janus v AFSCME, which eliminates the requirement that unionized public employees who don’t wish to be union members will no longer be compelled to pay fair-share dues. Finally, take that result and multiple it by 1.0125. That budget included $7.5 billion for PERS. They are important!!! The PERS Board will, if SB 1049 passes, be required to report to the Legislature 30 days before they make any changes to the assumed interest rate (and, by inference, the employer contribution rate, the actuarial equivalency factors).

I doubt it is illegal, since GAAP guidelines permit lengths as long as 40 years. Hello. Getting the assumed rate correct for the economy is a goal, but an imperfect one. Moreover, the assumed rate is perverse. And trust me, those groups are already starting to organize, and the Legislature is well-aware of their existence. This is the Period 2 portion of the COLA. I earned every penny. Regardless of their success, this is a major jolt to their finances and is the beginning of a long-known objective of conservatives to seriously diminish the union role in influencing election results in local, state, and national elections. [Note:  this is a work in progress. I don't expect this will help keep highly compensated individuals on public payrolls. I am deviating from my normal pattern of using song titles as titles for my blog posts. I’m happy to report that my Senator, Rob Wagner was one of the No votes. Legislative language is torturous to read and decipher.]. So why would you want to extend the time over which they can pay too little for a debt that has been accumulating for more than 20 years. The ads are of the old newsreel type, and ask whether these people cured cancer, or won Nobel prizes, and then dismisses them as just ”retired state employees”, as if they did nothing of merit to ”deserve” those benefits. About 2/3 of the way through 2007, the employers were still absorbing the increases that began in 1997, but spread over what seemed like an eternity, and they were still complaining bitterly to the PERS Board about the rate increases. PERS posts this in late February every year. I was pessimistic going into the 2017 legislature; I’m downright depressed about 2019. PERS holds a lot of financial instruments in Alternative equities which don't get priced daily, weekly, or even monthly. Both Federal retirees and Oregon PERS retirees who retired prior to October 1991, received refunds of taxes paid after the Legislature started taxing PERS pensions. The “blend” is a combination of those factors. Other retirees benefit from long-ago stock market rallies that inflated the current value of their payouts.”   The second “problem” closed twice, first in 1996 with the creation of a Tier 2 that does not receive the rate guarantee that Tier 1 members receive. But, and this is a big one that people sometimes forget. Sadly, this rebuttal does not have the audience that Walsh had. If you are skeptical, then I suggest you follow the various references to the referenced statutes already in place and tied to the bill, and also to the various Oregon Administrative rules promulgated and approved in the wake of SB 1049. Please read the notes below before posting comments, or emailing me. 0000050544 00000 n The decision, written by Chief Justice Martha Walters, was en banc, suggesting there was no dissent.

The low rate of return generated $1.7 billion in investment income - quite a bit of pocket change but $283 million short of the income needed to fund the system. The balances in Tier 1 and Tier 2 accounts were frozen as of 12/31/2003 and only earnings have been credited for the past 15 years. By 2017, the state contribution from General Fund dollars (Income taxes) was less than 10% of the operating budgets. They are real accounts whose member contributions were frozen at the end of 2003. What could the Legislature do? But, there is a bigger problem that this exposes. On the assumption that nothing happens during a special session, what then? In addition, the Board (completely reconstituted after the 2003 reforms), agreed to shift most of the contingency reserves (near $1 billion) to employers to further buy down their contribution rates. This changes every year, so look at any check starting August 1 and before August 1 of the following year. For those who continued to work after October 1991, their income tax remedy was a fraction of 9.89% representing work performed before October 1991, relative to the length of their entire PERS career. Only one will be posted. Special Sessions are not that common, usually deal with items that can be managed in a one or two day session, and whose agenda depends on bills drafted before the session and upon which agreement among the participants has largely been sorted out before the session begins. Does the employer have to continue contributing once the member has passed $195,000? They are too short, PERS legislation is typically too complex, and short sessions are places where simple things happen, not legislation that has many moving parts. Leuven University Press is an academic press of international standing. There is no test to determine if the CPI is less than or greater than the statutory amounts. The intent of this money is to contribute to the member’s likely Full Formula benefit at retirement. PERS enrollment and retirement different for five dis-tinct enrollment periods: • Tier 1 membership, for members enrolled before July 1, 2007, with a minimum annual salary of $1,500; • Tier 2 membership, for members enrolled on or The first question is relatively easy for me to answer, but it seems hard for those not mathematically gifted to understand. The reason for this is painfully obvious. Changes since last official version: - Updated code to work with SDV1.4/SMAPI 3.5 Both the Strunk et al case (2005), and the Moro et al case (2015) have provided clear guidance that benefits of retirees cannot be reduced retroactively. That means that they can pass any revenue bills without support from a single R.   Whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen. UPDATE:  Not more than 15 minutes after I posted this, the Oregon Senate suspended the rules and voted out this bill in a 16-12 vote. By 1997, the tax remedy [see below] and the Money Match problems hit the employers simultaneously, with concomitant and hardly unexpected rate hikes to cover the additional expenses. Pass tax increases without R support. It is partially borne by taxpayers; the remainder is paid by those who use the systems  (think tuition; campground fees; hotel occupancy taxes, water and sewer bills). So, for members nearing retirement, the practical effects of this are small. All signs point to both parties working exceptionally hard to increase their numbers in the Legislature. 0000052556 00000 n To the extent that a worker continues for, say, another 10-12 years before retiring, the Employee Pension Stability Fund can knock a big chunk off the employer obligation for the Full Formula Pension. That is more than halfway through the next biennium. The second form is that should the fund reach a 90% funding level, PERS would stop diverting the money (until, of course, the fund dives below 90%). I will follow this post with another if SB 1049 gets any further in the Legislative process. I imagine countless other states found reason to reprint the article. The “dialing back” occurred because the 2003 reforms forbade PERS from crediting regular account earnings above the assumed rate to any Tier 1 member.]. 0000089384 00000 n If it isn't on the agenda, it doesn't mean it won't appear from nowhere, but that is unlikely. Since the assumed interest rate is always adjusted (for the upcoming calendar year) in the summer of an odd-numbered year, this will compel PERS to make decisions about this slightly earlier than usual, and will now subject the decision to political pressures heretofore not required of an independent Board. I have to pay for bandwidth, costs of duplicating documents when they exist only in paper form, and keep printer ink around to read lengthy documents, and the time to do the research. So, at this juncture after the election, the only thing I can conclude about the 2019 Legislative Session is that “it is too soon to tell” anything. Because SB 1049 was written with the savings based on the assumed rate remaining at 7.2%. 0000001236 00000 n I have sent a pull request to the author, who asked that I post this unofficial update until an official one is completed. 0000050014 00000 n Governor signs bill. What all this means is that the Ds have complete control of the entire legislative and executive branches of State Government, but they will have to exercise that control with more caution than their progressive supporters would like.
