| b Reflects effective rates for school districts and community college districts. For 2019-20 through 2021-22, districts' rates are offset by contributions from the state made on their behalf, as further detailed below. | |||||||||
| c Rates include the state's required contribution to the Supplemental Benefits Maintenance Account. | |||||||||
| d Reflects state supplemental payment for paying down unfunded actuarial obligation, using Proposition 2 funds. Also includes one-time General Fund payment of $173 million in 2021-22 to offset the state's budget action in 2020-21 to hold the state's contribution rate flat. | |||||||||
| e Payments made by the state on districts' behalf. The amounts are equivalent to the following percentages of teacher payroll for the year: 1.03 percent in 2019-20, 2.95 percent in 2020-21, and 2.18 percent in 2021-22. | |||||||||
