Accrued benefits funding methods

Major category of funding methods in which the actuarial liability for active members is based on pensionable service accrued up to the valuation date or to the end of the control period, as appropriate. The treatment of benefits not directly linked to pensionable service is not specified but left to actuarial judgement, subject to the need for consistency between successive valuations. The standard contribution rate is derived from the definition of the actuarial liability appropriate to the accrued benefits funding method selected. It is the rate sufficient, after taking into account the actuarial liability at the beginning of the control period, and the benefits expected to be paid during that period, to provide for the actuarial liability at the end of the control period.
