Funding History
What This Means for You
Little Rock Fire & Rescue Pension Fund is significantly underfunded at 46%, with $603.3M in unfunded liabilities affecting 6,075 participants. Plans at this funding level face difficult choices: raising contributions substantially, reducing future benefit accruals, or in extreme cases, applying for benefit suspensions. Public plans cannot declare bankruptcy, but severe underfunding may lead to reduced cost-of-living adjustments or increased employee contributions. If you are a participant, it is important to understand your options and consider diversifying your retirement income sources.
