New funding rules for Guam pensions

Guam must fund its public pension plan’s unpaid past-service costs measured September 30, 2024, plus changes measured each September 30. Government payments use a rate of at least 0% of all plan members’ total salaries. Each repayment period is capped at 15 years from the September 30 when that amount is measured. The Retirement Fund Board may consider long-term sustainability factors only when it finds they could affect long-term earnings after accounting for risk. These rules do not change individual pension amounts or guarantee higher investment returns.
