EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (Plan), a tax-qualified multi-employer pension plan. The Plan provided defined pension benefits to the Bank’s employees.
The Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 333. The Plan operates as a multi-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Plan.
The Plan is a multiple-employer plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers. The funded status (fair value of the Plan assets divided by funding target) based on an actuarial valuation report was 95.84 percent and 96.33 percent, respectively, as of June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018. The fair value of the Plan assets reflects any contributions received through June 30, 2019. Total contributions made to the Plan, as reported on Form 5500, were $138,321,604 and $164,570,408 for the plan years ended June 30, 2019, and June 30, 2018, respectively. The Bank’s contributions to the Plan were not more than 5 percent of the total contributions to the Plan. During the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank recognized $77,708 and $70,072, respectively, as pension expense, and made contributions of $80,005 and $68,903, respectively, to the Plan.
The Bank has a supplemental retirement plan, the Directors Consultation and Retirement Plan (DCR Plan), for the directors of the Bank. The DCR Plan will provide each director with postretirement benefits based on years of service. The Bank also has a Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) for an officer of the Bank. The SRP requires the Bank to make monthly payments to the officer upon his retirement for a period of ten years. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, $374,346 and $344,226, respectively, has been accrued in connection with these plans. The Bank incurred pretax expenses of $37,004 and $227,978 in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Bank has a defined contribution 401(k) pension plan (401(k) Plan). The Bank’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan, which are at the discretion of the Board of Directors, are based on a percentage of contributions made by eligible employees.
