GASB 74/75 Consulting
Postretirement benefit plans are still adjusting to new accounting rules under GASB 74 and 75, which feature increased reporting requirements and new actuarial methods. Milliman has worked with plan sponsors to adapt to these changes since they were first announced and continues to provide leading expertise and services.
Milliman Sustainable Income Plan (SIP)
Traditional defined benefit and defined contribution plans fall short in balancing the needs of employers, employees, and society at large.
