Employee Benefit Plans Employee Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan
The Bank has a defined contribution plan available to substantially all employees who have completed three months of service. Employees may contribute up to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") determined limits and the Bank may match employee contributions not to exceed 3.0% of compensation depending on contribution level. Prior to 2020 and subject to a vote of the Board of Directors, the Bank could also make a discretionary contribution to the Plan. The Company adopted the safe harbor form of 401(k) plan in 2020 and made a 3.0% safe harbor contribution to the plan in 2021 and 2020. The expense related to the 401(k) plan was $324,000 and $217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Retirement Benefits
The Bank also provides unfunded supplemental retirement benefits for certain officers, payable in installments over 20 years upon retirement or death. The agreements consist of individual contracts with differing characteristics that, when taken together, do not constitute a postretirement plan. There are no active officers eligible for these benefits. The costs for these benefits are recognized over the service periods of the participating officers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 712 "Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits". The expense of these supplemental retirement benefits was $77,000 and $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the associated accrued liability included in other liabilities in the balance sheet was $2,877,000 compared to $2,872,000 and $2,961,000 at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Bank sponsors two postretirement benefit plans. One plan currently provides a subsidy for health insurance premiums to certain retired employees; these subsidies are based on years of service and range between $40 and $1,200 per month per person. The other plan provides life insurance coverage to certain retired employees and health insurance for retired directors. None of these plans are prefunded. The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 712 to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income (loss).
The following table sets forth the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and funded status:
At or for the three months ended March 31,

Change in benefit obligation
Benefit obligation at beginning of year$1,353,000 $1,523,000

The following table sets forth the net periodic pension cost:

Components of net periodic benefit cost
Interest cost$8,000 $7,000 
Net periodic benefit cost$8,000 $7,000 
Amounts not yet reflected in net periodic benefit cost and included in accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows:

2022		December 31, 2021March 31,
2021
Unamortized net actuarial gain$133,000 $133,000 $35,000 
Deferred tax expense(28,000)(28,000)(7,000)
Net unrecognized postretirement benefits included in accumulated other comprehensive income$105,000 $105,000 $28,000 
A weighted average discount rate of 2.00% was used in determining the accumulated benefit obligation and the net periodic benefit cost. The assumed health care cost trend rate is 7.00%. The measurement date for benefit obligations was as of year-end for prior years presented. The expected benefit payments for all of 2022 are $87,000. Plan expense for 2022 is estimated to be $33,000. A 1.00% change in trend assumptions would create an approximate change in the same direction of $100,000 in the accumulated benefit obligation, $7,000 in the interest cost, and $1,000 in the service cost.
