Slow Revenue Recovery
15
• Income tax revenues have exceeded their pre-recession peak for the last three fiscal years. This past fiscal year, for the first time since the recovery began, sales tax revenues exceeded their pre-recession peak.
• If this recovery had been similar to the 2003 recovery, income tax revenue would have been $2.5 billion higher in FY 2015.
• Had the sales tax recovered at the same pace as in 2003, revenues would have been $560 million higher in FY 2015.

2001 Recession 2008 Recession
• The withholding component of Personal Income Tax has exceeded its pre-recession peak since FY 2011, but revenues from Estimates & Finals remain below their pre-recession peak.
• If this recovery had been similar to the 2003 recovery:• Withholding tax revenue would have been about $625 million higher in FY 2015.• Estimates & Finals revenue would have been about $1.9 billion higher in FY
2015.
Employment Recovery

interaction.• The state workforce has undergone substantial attrition without resorting to any costly retirement incentive plans.

• Beginning with the budget adopted in FY 2014, only the state’s share of the Medicaid account in the Department of Social Services is appropriated.
• Increases in “Federal Share under Net Budgeting” reflect the impact of federal health care reform, which expands Medicaid coverage to childless adults with income up to 138% of the federal poverty level beginning January 1, 2014. (Costs are 100% federally reimbursed through 2016, after which reimbursement is phased down to 90% in 2020.)
Medicaid
23
• In contrast to almost all other Medicaid programs across the nation, Connecticut Medicaid is not using any managed care arrangements and is structured as a managed, fee-for-service program. It is one of the very few Medicaid programs whose expenditures on a per member, per month (PMPM) basis have been relatively steady—in fact, there was a sizeable drop in the PMPM in FY 2015.
• DSS is employing diverse strategies to achieve improved health outcomes and cost efficiencies in the Medicaid program, including:
• use of an administrative services organization (ASO) platform to promote efficient, cost-effective and consumer / provider responsive services;
• use of data analytics to improve care;
• activities in support of improving access to preventative primary care;
• efforts to support integration of medical, behavioral health, and long-term services and supports;
• initiatives designed to “re-balance” spending on long-term services and supports; and
• efforts to promote the use of health information technology.

Recent steps to address liability include:
1. The 2011 SEBAC agreement:a) Reduced the minimum COLAs and doubled the Early Retirement Reduction
Factor.b) Increased the age for normal retirement eligibility by 3 years for all non-
hazard duty employees who retire after July 1, 2022. c) Tier III was created.
2. In 2012 more conservative actuarial assumptions were adopted which included lowering the assumed rate of investment returns from 8.25% to 8%.
3. The State increased its annual required contribution to the pension system by eliminating the SEBAC IV and V adjustments.
4. OPM engaged the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College to assess both SERS and TRS.

The Teachers’ Retirement Board has taken the following steps toward a more sustainable pension plan:
• Reduced the assumed rate of return from 8.5% to 8.0%;
• Adopted more conservative mortality and other assumptions;
• Increased the state’s contributions to the plan; and
• Directed the plan actuary to develop additional funding strategies that could be implemented in order to limit the volatility of future contributions.

CRR has identified several alternatives to the current funding methods for both SERS and TRS.
• Switch from level percent of payroll amortization method to a level dollar.
• Combine the switch to level dollar method with a 15-year open amortization of the UAAL.
• Relax the 2032 full funding date when the plan is 80% funded.
• Lower the current assumed rate of investment return.
• Separately finance the liabilities for Tier 1 members (SERS) and members hired before 1979 (TRS).

• In accordance with the General Statutes, the Treasurer computes the aggregate amount of indebtedness as of January 1, and July 1 each year and certifies the results of such computation to the Governor and the General Assembly. If the aggregate amount of indebtedness reaches 90% of the statutory debt limit, the Governor is required to review each bond act for which no bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness have been issued, and recommend to the General Assembly priorities for repealing authorizations for remaining projects.
• In order to remain under the 90% limit, new bond authorizations for FY 2018 would need to be reduced by approximately $600 million.
