Purpose of the Annual Actuarial Valuation  Each year, the actuary determines the amount of contributions to be made to the Retirement System during each member’s career that, when combined with investment return, will be sufficient to pay for retiree benefits.  This contribution is determined through the annual actuarial valuation, which is summarized in the annual actuarial valuation report.  In addition, the annual actuarial valuation is performed to: • Determine progress on funding the Retirement Systems • Explore why the results of the current valuation differ from the results of the valuation of the previous year • Satisfy regulatory and accounting requirements 1 Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System – December 31, 2012 Valuation Results
