(1) The department uses actuarially determined pension tables for calculating pension annuity values, required pension reserves, and actuarial adjustments to monthly benefit amounts.

(i) Mortality tables from nationally recognized sources;

(ii) The department's experience with rates of mortality, disability, and remarriage for annuity recipients; and

(iii) A pension discount rate of 6.3 percent.

(b) The department's actuaries periodically investigate whether updates to the mortality tables relied on or the department's experience with rates of mortality, disability, and remarriage by its annuity recipients warrant updating the department's pension tables.
