Additional costs to the Maine State Retirement System associated with providing assistance to the Commission can be 
absorbed within the System's existing operating budget. However, if this work results in the need for actuarial work to 
be completed, there will be costs associated with fees for actuarial services. The amount can not be determined at this 
time and will depend on the extent of the actuarial work required.
