Employer OPEB & GASB FY2021

The Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH) administers the two State of Georgia Other Post-Employment Benefit (OPEB) Plans: 1) the state OPEB Fund for state organizations, technical colleges, community service boards, and public health departments, and 2) the school OPEB Fund for local school systems, libraries, and regional educational service agencies. New GASB 75 accounting standards impact the way OPEB plans are reported. These new standards result in the recognition of liabilities that have always existed but are now required to be reported in the financial statements of each cost-sharing employer which includes your organization. The following information and links provide additional details regarding the new standards.
