	Pension Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
	TRS' actuary has recommended revising the ERO member contribution rate to 14.4% (currently 11.5%) and the employer contribution rate to 29.3% (currently 23.5%). The Commission's actuary has reviewed the revised contribution rates and has found them to be sufficient to fund 100% of the ERO benefit going forward.
