Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

8.      Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

In 2019, the Corporation amended retiree health benefits for one of its other postretirement benefit plans to a stipend and reimbursement plan, with the amendment becoming effective in 2020. Additionally, future hires will be no longer eligible for retiree medical or life insurance. Changes to retiree health benefits resulted in a remeasurement of the liability, reducing the liability by $4,632, and a curtailment gain of $15.
