Schedule of Amounts in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to be Recognized over Next Fiscal Year

The Company does not expect any prior service cost to be amortized from AOCI into net periodic (benefit) cost in 2020.

Schedule of Assumptions Used
The discount rates used in determining pension benefit obligations as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
 
2019
 
2018
Discount rate
3.36
%
 
4.46
%


In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries including discounted cash flow analyses of the Company’s pension and general movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the pension plans.

The weighted-average assumptions used in determining net benefit cost of the Plans for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
 
2019
 
2018
 
2017
Discount rate
4.37
%
 
3.85
%
 
4.55
%
Expected rate of return on plan assets
6.75
%
 
7.50
%
 
7.50
%


The expected return on plan assets is updated at least annually using the calculated value approach, taking into consideration the Retirement Plan’s asset allocation, historical returns on the types of assets held in the Retirement Plan's portfolio of assets ("the Fund") and the current economic environment. Based on these factors, it is expected that the Fund’s assets will earn an average percentage per year over the long term. This estimation is based on an active return on a compound basis, with a reduction for administrative expenses and non-Voya investment manager fees paid from the Fund. For estimation purposes, it is assumed the long-term asset mix will be consistent with the current mix. Changes in the asset mix could impact the amount of recorded pension income or expense, the funded status of the Plan, and the need for future cash contributions.
