DoD Actuaries Review Retiree Health Costs

You are a Medicare-eligible military retiree if the Department of Defense Board of Actuaries' work applies to you. The Board met virtually on September 22, 2025 to review and approve actuarial methods and items including the September 30, 2024 unfunded liability, FY2026 and FY2027 per‑capita normal cost amounts, and the October 1, 2025 Treasury unfunded liability amortization payment. Those approvals could influence future retiree health care costs and benefits for Medicare-eligible retirees.
