lloyds equalization ruling on 26 october 2018 , the united kingdom high court issued a ruling related to the equalization of pension plan participants 2019 benefits for the gender effects of guaranteed minimum pensions .
as a result of this ruling , we estimated the impact of retroactively increasing benefits in our u.k .
plan in accordance with the high court ruling .
we treated the additional benefits as a prior service cost , which resulted in an increase to our projected benefit obligation and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $ 4.7 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 .
we are amortizing this cost over the average remaining life expectancy of the u.k .
participants .
2020 outlook in fiscal year 2020 , we expect pension expense to be approximately $ 5 to $ 20 , which includes expected pension settlement losses of $ 5 to $ 10 , depending on the timing of retirements .
the expected range reflects lower expected interest cost and higher total assets , partially offset by higher expected loss amortization primarily due to the impact of lower discount rates .
in fiscal year 2020 , we expect pension expense to include approximately $ 105 for amortization of actuarial losses .
in fiscal year 2019 , pension expense included amortization of actuarial losses of $ 76.2 .
net actuarial losses of $ 424.4 were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in fiscal year 2019 .
actuarial ( gains ) losses are amortized into pension expense over prospective periods to the extent they are not offset by future gains or losses .
future changes in the discount rate and actual returns on plan assets different from expected returns would impact the actuarial ( gains ) losses and resulting amortization in years beyond fiscal year 2020 .
pension funding pension funding includes both contributions to funded plans and benefit payments for unfunded plans , which are primarily non-qualified plans .
with respect to funded plans , our funding policy is that contributions , combined with appreciation and earnings , will be sufficient to pay benefits without creating unnecessary surpluses .
in addition , we make contributions to satisfy all legal funding requirements while managing our capacity to benefit from tax deductions attributable to plan contributions .
with the assistance of third-party actuaries , we analyze the liabilities and demographics of each plan , which help guide the level of contributions .
during 2019 and 2018 , our cash contributions to funded plans and benefit payments for unfunded plans were $ 40.2 and $ 68.3 , respectively .
for fiscal year 2020 , cash contributions to defined benefit plans are estimated to be $ 30 to $ 40 .
the estimate is based on expected contributions to certain international plans and anticipated benefit payments for unfunded plans , which are dependent upon the timing of retirements .
actual future contributions will depend on future funding legislation , discount rates , investment performance , plan design , and various other factors .
refer to the contractual obligations discussion on page 37 for a projection of future contributions. .
