The <br />changes result in a decrease in gross salary increase rates, slightly more unreduced retirements and fewer assumed early <br />retirements. <br /> Assumed rates of withdrawal were changed from select and ultimate rates to service-based rates. The changes result in <br />more assumed terminations. <br /> Assumed rates of disability were increased for ages 25-44 and decreased for ages over 49. Overall, proposed rates result <br />in more projected disabilities. <br /> Assumed percent married for active female members was changed from 60% to 70%. <br /> <br />2020 Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2018 to MP-2019. <br /> <br />2019 Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2017 to MP-2018. <br /> <br />2018 Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The mortality projection scale was changed from MP-2016 to MP-2017. <br /> <br />2017 Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The single discount rate was changed from 5.6% to 7.5%. <br /> Assumed salary increases were changed as recommended in the June 30, 2016 experience study.

The mortality <br />improvement scale was changed from Scale AA to Scale MP-2016. The base mortality table for disabled annuitants was <br />changed from the RP-2000 disabled mortality table to the mortality tables assumed for healthy retirees. <br /> Assumed termination rates were decreased to 3% for the first three years of service. Rates beyond the select period of <br />three years were adjusted, resulting in more expected terminations overall. <br /> Assumed percentage of married female members was decreased from 65% to 60%. <br /> Assumed age difference was changed from separate assumptions for male members (wives assumed to be three years <br />younger) and female members (husbands assumed to be four years older) to the assumption that males are two years <br />older than females. <br /> The assumed percentage of female members electing Joint and Survivor annuities was increased. <br /> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.00% for all years to 1.00% per year through 2064 <br />and 2.50% thereafter. <br /> <br />2016 Changes in Actuarial Assumptions: <br /> The assumed post-retirement benefit increase rate was changed from 1.0% per year through 2037 and 2.5% per year <br />thereafter to 1.0% per year for all future years. <br /> The assumed investment return was changed from 7.9% to 7.5%.
