Summary

At the end of each fiscal year, the Secretary of State must tell the Secretary of the Treasury two sums to be added to the Fund: the year’s interest on the unfunded liability using the interest rate from the most recent System valuation, and the part of that year’s annuity payments that the Secretary estimates comes from military and naval service, minus any amount the Secretary sets to reflect deposits under section 4045(e). Before the Treasury closes the year’s accounts, it must put those amounts into the Fund from Treasury money not otherwise appropriated. Any request for Fund appropriations under section 4061(b) must include a report to Congress showing the amounts credited under this section.
