Other Post-Employment Benefits and Other Employee Benefit Plans | Note 16 Other Post-Employment Benefits and Other Employee Benefit Plans Other Postretirement Benefit Plans – Legacy Diversey In addition to providing pension benefits, we provide for a portion of healthcare, dental, vision and life insurance benefits for certain retired legacy Diversey employees, primarily in North America. Covered employees retiring on or after attaining age 55 and who have rendered at least ten years of service are entitled to post-retirement healthcare, dental and life insurance benefits. These benefits are subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations. Contributions made by us, net of Medicare Part D subsidies received in the U.S., are reported below as benefits paid. We may change the benefits at any time. We have elected to amortize the transition obligation over a 20-year period. The status of these plans, including a reconciliation of benefit obligations, a reconciliation of plan assets and the funded status of the plans, follows:

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans — Legacy Sealed Air We generally do not offer our employees postretirement benefits other than programs that are required by the foreign countries in which we operate. In the U.S., we offer a postretirement healthcare program that is fully funded by the participating retired employees, except as noted below. These programs are not material to our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Healthcare Cost Trend Rates For the year ended December 31, 2013, healthcare cost trend rates were assumed to be 4.0% for Belgian plans, 7.0% for U.S. plans in 2014 and decreasing to 5.0% by 2021, and 7.0% for Canadian plans in 2014 decreasing to 5.0% by 2018. The assumed healthcare cost trend rate has an effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. A one percentage point change on assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effect for the year ended December 31, 2013:
|  | 1% Increase |  |  | 1% Decrease |
Effect on total of service and interest cost components |  | $ | 0.2 |  |  | $ | (0.2 | )
Effect on post-retirement benefit obligation |  |  | 2.3 |  |  |  | (2.7 | )
The amortization of any prior service cost is determined using a straight-line amortization of the cost over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. Expected post-retirement benefits (net of Medicare Part D subsidies) for each of the next five years and succeeding five years are as follows:
Year |  | Amount |
2014 |  | $ | 5.9 |
2015 |  |  | 5.6 |
2016 |  |  | 5.4 |
2017 |  |  | 5.3 |
2018 |  |  | 5.4 |
Thereafter |  |  | 26.5 |
Total |  | $ | 54.1 |
