For 2021, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial gain that changed the benefit obligation were mainly related to an increase in the single weighted-average discount rates partially offset by a lower return on the fair value of plan assets. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial gain that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to an increase in discount rates and the per capita claim assumption at year-end which was lower than expected. The per capita claim methodology for the fully insured Medicare Advantage plans changed from age-based per capita cost to cost that do not vary by age. For 2020, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial loss that changed the benefit obligation were mainly related to a decrease in discount rates partially offset by a greater return on the fair value of plan assets. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial loss that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to a decrease in discount rates partially offset by the per capita claim assumption at year-end which was lower than expected and the healthcare trend rate assumption which was updated at year-end.
