Local government officials have discovered that pension plan contributions and other postemployment benefits are new and major contributors to their municipality?s budget dilemmas. And, in order to achieve a balanced budget, many are struggling with critical decisions to increase taxes or cut services. Plus, complying with major funding and reporting requirements adds an increasing burden on municipalities to effectively administer their plans. At Conrad Siegel Actuaries, we work with hundreds of municipalities and other governmental units to help them manage contributions, ease their administrative burden, and ensure compliance with government reporting requirements.
