Pension Benefits Pension Benefits
The net periodic expense for defined benefit pension plans was not material for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Cash contributions to these plans were $3 million and $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The projected unit credit method is utilized in measuring net periodic pension expense over the employees’ service life for the pension plans. Unrecognized actuarial losses exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining future service periods and expected life expectancy.
