KPERS finances stir uneasy debate on looming unfunded liability
Kansas lawmakers weigh changes to KPERS as the system shows 5 000 active members and 87 000 retirees with a 60 percent funding ratio. The unfunded liability nears $9.77 billion while the fund balance stands at $16.24 billion, prompting concerns over future tax burdens and retirement certainty. Senator Marci Francisco notes difficulty conveying impacts of proposed reforms to individual workers amid ongoing legislative talks. Public scrutiny grows as prior steps, including a 2012 overhaul and a $1.5 million pension obligation bond, aim to shore up the system while proposals to privatize management face resistance from stakeholders and experts who warn such moves may not reduce liabilities.
