of retiree health benefits funding and plan
design options, as well as legal issues to
be considered. Dale has created a resource
like no other. I have recommended that my
colleagues refer to the 1st edition countless
times, and will continue to do so with this

- Paul Fronstin, Director,Health Research
Program,Employee Benefit Research Institute Retiree group benefits have earned a reputation
for being difficult to understand. Half
retirement benefit and half group insurance – few
professionals have mastered both fields. Complex
finances blend the world of pension mathematics
and health plan pricing.
The purpose of this textbook is to provide the
fundamental basics of all aspects of retiree group
benefits—from goals and objectives of providing
the benefit to the actuarial considerations of
accounting and funding the programs.
This one book contains everything pertaining to
the subject of retiree group benefits. Its chapters
cover the prevalence of the benefit, Medicare, plan
design, funding and legal issues, accounting rules
and actuarial methods and assumptions.
