DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
 
The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits and life insurance to employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements. Full-time employees
no
longer accrue service time toward the Corporation-subsidized portion of the medical benefits. The plan contains a cost-sharing feature which causes participants to pay for all future increases in costs related to benefit coverage. Accordingly, actuarial assumptions related to health care cost trend rates do
not
significantly affect the liability balance at
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017,
and are
not
expected to significantly affect the Corporation's future expenses. The Corporation uses a
December 31
measurement date for the postretirement plan.
 
In an acquisition in
2007,
the Corporation assumed the Citizens Trust Company Retirement Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. This plan covers certain employees who were employed by Citizens Trust Company on
December 31, 2002,
when the plan was amended to discontinue admittance of any future participant and to freeze benefit accruals. Information related to the Citizens Trust Company Retirement Plan has been included in the tables that follow. The Corporation uses a
December 31
measurement date for this plan.
 
The components of net periodic benefit costs from these defined benefit plans are as follows:
