Notes:          
Revised projections reflect rates upon enactment of the 2020-21 budget package. Previous projections reflect rates at the time of the Governor's Budget proposal. For 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22, employers' rates are offset by contributions from the state on their behalf, resulting in lower effective contribution rates compared to actual rates received by the pension systems. Projections for 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24 are based on actuarial assumptions and experience through June 30, 2019. Final rates for those years will vary based on actual actuarial experience (including actuarial losses in 2019-20) and other factors.
