Orphan date February 2009 A Target Benefit plan is a defined contribution plan designed to provide benefits that would match a defined benefit plan at normal retirement age. For example, if the defined benefit plan being Targeted has a benefit of 1.5 of the final salary for each year of credited service, payable at age 65, then the contribution level for a 25 year old entrant is found by an actuary calculating what contribution level would result in a benefit of 60 of the entrant s final salary. This requires the use of actuarial assumptions of interest rates , salary growth and mortality. If the assumption for salary growth is less than that for interest then the contribution rate for older entrants would be greater than that for younger entrants. Because a Target Benefit plan is a defined contribution plan and because most defined contribution plans shift investment risk to the plan participant, there is no guarantee that the target will be met, because the assumptions may not be borne out. If actual salary growth exceeds the level assumed then the actual benefit will tend to be lower than the targeted amount. If the actual investment returns exceed those assumed then actual benefits will tend to be higher than the targeted amount. Category Retirement socio stub econometrics stub ... more details

Supplementary Benefit was a means tested benefit in the United Kingdom, paid to people on low incomes, whether or not they were classed as unemployed. Introduced in November 1966, it replaced the earlier system of discretionary National Assistance payments and was intended to top up other benefits, hence its name. It was paid weekly by the DHSS , through order book s, cashed at local post office s. Unemployed people were the largest proportion of claimants, usually those under the age of 18 and had not yet entered employment, or those who had been unemployed longer than 12 months and exhausted eligibility for Unemployment Benefit . Criticism arose because of the apparent lack of sanctions against unemployed claimants and the perception of a benefits culture . The benefit was abolished in April 1988, as part of a wider overhaul of the benefits system. Category British society Category Social systems Category Social programs ... more details
