Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
As of September 30, 2024, we had one qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, the Union Plan, which was frozen and ceased accruing benefits in 2013. Additionally, we sponsor other postretirement benefit plans, including multiple fully insured or self-funded medical plans and life insurance plans for certain retirees. The measurement date for all plans is December 31st for each respective plan year.

Employer Contributions
There were no required or voluntary contributions made to the Union Plan for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Additionally, we are not required to make additional contributions to the Union Plan for the remainder of 2024.
As there is no funding requirement for the other postretirement benefit plans, we funded these benefit payments as incurred, which were immaterial for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, using cash from operations.
