Employee Benefit Plans |
NOTE 14—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Contribution Plan We sponsor a contributory Associate Savings Plan (the “Plan”) in which all full-time and part-time associates over the age of 18 are eligible to participate. We make non-elective contributions to each eligible associates’ account and match a portion of associate contributions. We also sponsor a voluntary non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which select groups of employees are eligible to participate. We make contributions to this plan based on participants’ deferral of salary, bonuses and other eligible pay. In addition, we match participants’ excess compensation (compensation over the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) compensation limit) less deferrals. We contributed a total of $316 million, $291 million and $282 million to these plans during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans We sponsor a frozen qualified defined benefit pension plan and several non-qualified defined benefit pension plans. We also sponsor a plan that provides other postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance coverage. Our pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plan are valued using December 31 as the measurement date each year. Our policy is to amortize prior service amounts on a straight-line basis over the average remaining years of service to full eligibility for benefits of active plan participants. The following table sets forth, on an aggregated basis, changes in the benefit obligation and plan assets, the funded status and how the funded status is recognized on our consolidated balance sheets.

Net periodic benefit gain for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plan totaled $10 million, $12 million and $8 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $18 million and $15 million in other comprehensive income for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plan in 2019 and 2017, respectively, compared to a pre-tax loss of $17 million in 2018. Pre-tax amounts recognized in AOCI that have not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost consist of net actuarial loss of $41 million and $64 million for our defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and net actuarial gain of $4 million and $9 million for our other postretirement benefit plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There was no meaningful prior service cost recognized in AOCI. Plan Assets and Fair Value Measurement Plan assets are invested using a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity securities and debt securities are used to preserve asset values, diversify risk and enhance our ability to achieve our benchmark for long-term investment return. Investment strategies and asset allocations are based on careful consideration of plan liabilities, the plan’s funded status and our financial condition. Investment performance and asset allocation are measured and monitored on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our plan assets totaled $260 million and $224 million, respectively. We invested substantially all our plan assets in common collective trusts, which primarily consist of domestic and international equity securities, government securities and corporate and municipal bonds. Our plan assets were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2019. In 2018, investments in common collective trusts were measured at net asset value per share, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient and therefore were not classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2018. For information on fair value measurements, including descriptions of Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation methods we utilize, see “Note 16—Fair Value Measurement.” Expected Future Benefit Payments As of December 31, 2019, the benefits expected to be paid in the next ten years totaled $100 million for our defined pension benefit plans and $18 million for our other postretirement benefit plan, respectively.
