Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company provides certain pension, health care and death benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents. The pension benefits are funded, while the health care and death benefits are not funded but are paid as incurred. Eligibility for coverage is based on meeting certain years of service and retirement qualifications. These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations. The Company has reserved the right to modify these benefits.

As part of the Spin-Off, and in accordance with the employee matters agreement referred to in Note 2, certain combined plans were split between MTW and MFS. Accordingly, the Company transferred to MFS pension obligations associated with its active, retired and other former employees for those impacted defined benefit pension plans. The allocation of plan assets was determined in accordance with applicable ERISA (The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), Internal Revenue Service another jurisdictional requirements.

The components of periodic benefit costs for three and three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 are as follows:
