Post-Retirement Medical Plans

Post-retirement medical plans provide benefits to retired employees after years of service for your organization. Such benefits must be accounted for during an employee’s active employment and reported as an expense on your financial statements. Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 715-60 (formerly FAS 106) is the accounting standard governing postretirement medical plans for non-governmental agencies and Governmental Accounting Standards Board No. 45 (GASB 45) is the standard for governmental agencies. Subsidized retiree health benefits require attention to detail and careful plan design to guarantee plan sponsor compliance and plan participant satisfaction.
