Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation | 17. Employee Benefits and Deferred Compensation Employee 401(k) Plan Our 401(k) Plan is a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, participating U.S. employees may defer a portion of their pre-tax earnings, up to the IRS annual contribution limit. We match 100% of the first 2% of eligible earnings an employee contributes to the 401(k) Plan, and then match 50% of the next 4% of eligible earnings an employee contributes. An employee receives the full 4% match when he/she contributes at least 6% of his/her eligible earnings, up to a maximum calendar year matching contribution of $6,000. Our employer matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were as follows (in millions):
|  | Year Ended |
|  | April 26, 2019 |  |  | April 27, 2018 |  |  | April 28, 2017 |
401(k) matching contributions |  | $ | 29 |  |  | $ | 28 |  |  | $ | 30 |
Deferred Compensation Plan We have a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows a group of employees within the U.S. to contribute base salary and commissions or incentive compensation on a tax deferred basis in excess of the IRS limits imposed on 401(k) plans. The marketable securities related to these investments are held in a Rabbi Trust. The related deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities under the non-qualified deferred compensation plan were as follows (in millions):

Deferred compensation plan assets |  | $ | 35 |  |  | $ | 31 |
Deferred compensation liabilities reported as: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Other long-term liabilities |  | $ | 29 |  |  | $ | 25 |
Postretirement Health Care Plan Certain of our executive officers are eligible to participate in our Executive Retirement Medical Plan (the ERM Plan). The ERM Plan provides, upon retirement, medical benefits beyond the COBRA maximum benefit period to a defined group of senior executives based on minimum age, years of service and position. The ERM Plan was unfunded as of April 26, 2019 and April 27, 2018, and there is no minimum funding requirement under the ERM Plan. In November 2016, we made certain amendments to the ERM Plan, which prior to amendment, provided group health insurance benefits to eligible retirees. Effective January 1, 2017, the amended ERM Plan provides each eligible retiree with a capped reimbursement of premiums for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. During the period from December 31, 2019 through December 31, 2021, participants in the ERM Plan will be eligible to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to two years of projected health care costs, or a prorated portion thereof, pursuant to the methodology set forth in the ERM Plan. Such payment will be made by us outside the ERM Plan as the ERM Plan is expected to terminate on December 31, 2019. These plan amendments resulted in a prior service credit adjustment of $14 million, net of taxes, which we recorded to other comprehensive income in fiscal 2017. Other Defined Benefit Plans We maintain various defined benefit plans to provide termination and postretirement benefits to certain eligible employees outside of the U.S. We also provide disability benefits to certain eligible employees in the U.S. Eligibility is determined based on the terms of our plans and local statutory requirements. Funded Status The funded status of our postretirement health care and other defined benefit plans, which is recognized in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, was as follows (in millions):
|  | April 26, 2019 |  |  | April 27, 2018 |
Fair value of plan assets |  | $ | 31 |  |  | $ | 25 |
Benefit obligations |  |  | (61 | ) |  |  | (53 | )
Unfunded obligations |  | $ | (30 | ) |  | $ | (28 | )
