(The text below is reprinted from the news release by STRS)   Solvency Period for Health Care Fund Drops to 15 Years; Board Exploring Options to Preserve Plan   At the March meeting of the State Teachers Retirement Board, Paul Snyder, deputy executive director — Finance and chief financial officer, presented results of Segal Consulting’s annual actuarial valuation of the Health Care Fund. The report shows the funded ratio for the Health Care Fund dropped to 63% from 74% last year. This means STRS Ohio has 63 cents on hand for every dollar needed to continue the current plan indefinitely.

( The text below is reprinted from the news release by STRS.) Board Discusses Options to Reduce Amortization Period for the Pension Fund During the State Teachers Retirement Board’s annual retreat, board members reviewed several options to reduce the retirement system’s funding period. Ohio law requires the statewide retirement systems to amortize unfunded liabilities over a period of not more than 30 years, otherwise they must submit a board-approved plan to the Legislature to reduce the funding period to 30 years. STRS Ohio’s current funding period is 40.2 years. Pension reform laws passed in 2012 reduced STRS Ohio’s accrued liabilities by $15.7 billion and improved the system’s funded ratio to 66.3% from 56.0%.
