Minimum Liability
(See also Minimum Liability under German Benefit Promises.)
The Minimum Liability topic allows you to specify an account balance that serves as the minimum possible recognized liability for an active member. If a liability measure for a record is less then the minimum liability, then an additional minimum liability will be generated to make up the difference, so that the total liability will equal the account balance. This is typically used when an individual account balance is maintained as an asset of the plan, and the actuary wants to avoid reporting a surplus for anyone whose actuarially generated liability is less than the asset.
You can select that the account balance is Employee contributions accumulated with interest. In this case, the minimum liability for a record will be the sum of all refundable employee contribution accounts (see Contribution Definitions). In all modes, you can select that the minimum liability be modeled in a Benefit Formula Component. Select the component, typically a Cash Balance component, that represents the account.
