Report Description
The U.S. Postal Service is required to prefund its long-term pension and retiree healthcare liabilities. These liabilities, currently estimated at almost $404 billion, are based on assumptions that are highly uncertain and changeable. Our recent white paper evaluates these assumptions and other considerations and shows the retiree-related liabilities are closer to being fully funded, or could even be overfunded, when certain assumptions are reasonably adjusted or considered.
