ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS The total pension liability at December 31, 2019, was determined using the entry age normal actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:  Retirement eligibility at the later of age 50 or 20 years of service  Investment rate of return of 6.0%  Inflation rate of 3.0% There were no changes in actuarial assumptions in 2019 F. DISCOUNT RATE The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.0%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions to the SVF plan will be made as specified in statute. Based on that assumption and considering the funding ratio of the plan, the fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. 72
