.e., base salary and EXCEL awards, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or holidays). Prior to January 1, 2015, the cash balance component provided a credit of 4% of an employee’s monthly pay. The credit was increased to 7% starting January 1, 2015, to 9% starting January 1, 2020 and to 12% starting January 1, 2022. In addition, the ongoing balance of the employee’s account earns interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate. Before 2015, employees vested in their account balance after completing three years of service. Beginning on January 1, 2015, all active employees were immediately vested. Vested benefits under the cash balance component are payable upon normal retirement (age 65), termination or death. Participants in the cash balance component of the plan may choose from among various forms of benefits such as a lump sum, a joint and survivor annuity and a straight life annuity.

Participating compensation is base salary and any EXCEL award, including allowances in lieu of salary for authorized periods of absence, such as illness, vacation or holidays. For a participating employee with up to 35 years of accrued service, the annual normal retirement income benefit is calculated by multiplying the employee’s years of accrued service by the sum of: (a) 1.3% of APC not in excess of the average social security wage base, plus (b) 1.6% of APC in excess of the average social security wage base. For an employee with more than 35 years of accrued service, the amount is increased by 1% for
