Note 9 – Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Defined Contribution Plan

1. Agencies issuing an independent audited AFR are required to prepare Note 9 in compliance with GASB 68, GASB 73 and GASB 82. Submit a copy of the agency’s applicable note from its published AFR through the ONDSS web application. The required format is a Microsoft Word document (latest version: docx) with header information that includes: agency name/number and note number/name. If the note contains a table, include the table in the Word document — rather than as a separate Excel document or other database application file. Do not submit a note to indicate “not applicable.”
2. Agencies that administer pension plans (ERS, TRS and TESRS) are required to prepare Note 9 in compliance with GASB 67 and provide GASB 68, GASB 73 and GASB 82 information separately to the Comptroller’s Financial Reporting Section submitted via email to frs@cpa.texas.gov.
3. University system offices and independent universities that administer the Optional Retirement Program (ORP) must disclose the amounts contributed by members and by the employer for the program.
