File name: Template 10 Plan Name, where "Plan Name" is an abbreviated version of the plan name. |
Provide a table identifying and summarizing which assumptions/methods were used in each of the pre-2021 certification of plan status, the Baseline details (Template 5A or Template 5B), and the final SFA calculation (Template 4A or Template 4B). |
This table should identify all assumptions/methods used, including those that are reflected in the Baseline provided in Template 5A or Template 5B and any assumptions not explicitly listed. Please identify the source (file and page number) of the pre-2021 certification of plan status assumption. Additionally, please select the appropriate assumption change category per SFA assumption guidance*. Please complete all rows of Template 10. If an assumption on Template 10 does not apply to the application, please enter “N/A” and explain as necessary in the “comments” column. If the application contains assumptions not listed on Template 10, create additional rows as needed. |
See the table below for a brief example of how to fill out the requested information in summary form. In the example the first row demonstrates how one would fill out the information for a change in the mortality assumption used in the pre-2021 certification of plan status, where the RP-2000 mortality table was the original assumption, and the plan proposes to change to the Pri-2012(BC) table. |

Per ASOP 4, effective for measurement dates after February 15, 2023, when measuring pension obligations, the combined effect of assumptions is expected to have no significant bias (i.e., it is not significantly optimistic or pessimistic) for non-prescribed assumptions except when provisions for adverse deviation are included. If the SFA measurement date is after February 15, 2023, provide a statement indicating that in the signing Actuary’s professional opinion, the combined effect of non-prescribed assumptions used for measuring the pension obligations used to determine SFA does not have significant bias. Please note that this attestation only applies to the final SFA assumptions (see (D) above). |

NOTE: Not required for plans with a measurement date before February 15, 2023 |
