Benefits Plans [Abstract] |
Benefits Plans | Note 12- Benefits Plans Pension Plan The Company acquired, through the merger with Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc. a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”) covering all eligible employees of Pamrapo Savings Bank. Effective January 1, 2010, the Pension Plan was frozen by Pamrapo Savings Bank. All benefits for eligible participants accrued in the Pension Plan to the freeze date have been retained. The benefits are based on years of service and employee’s compensation. The Pension Plan is funded in conformity with funding requirements of applicable government regulations. Prior service costs for the Pension Plan generally are amortized over the estimated remaining service periods of employees. The following tables set forth the Pension Plan's funded status at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

The Pension Plan is structured to include a volatility reducing component (the fixed income commitment) and a growth component (the equity commitment). To achieve the Bank’s long-term investment objectives, the trustee invests the assets of the Pension Plan in a diversified combination of asset classes, investment strategies, and pooled vehicles. The asset allocation guidelines in the table below reflect the Bank’s risk tolerance and long-term objectives for the Pension Plan. These parameters will be reviewed on a regular basis and subject to change following discussions between the Bank and the trustee. The following asset allocation targets and ranges guides the trustee in structuring the overall allocation in the Pension Plan’s investment portfolio. The Bank or the trustee may amend these allocations to reflect the most appropriate standards consistent with changing circumstances. Any such fundamental amendments in strategy will be discussed between the Bank and the trustee prior to implementation. Based on the above considerations, the following asset allocation ranges will be implemented:
Asset Allocation Parameters by Asset Class
| Minimum | Target | Maximum
Equity |  |  |
Large-Cap U.S. |  | 38% |
Mid/Small-Cap U.S. |  | 16% |
Non-U.S. |  | 1% |
Total-Equity | 40% | 55% | 60%
Fixed Income |  |  |
Long/Short Duration |  | 44% |
Money Market/Certificates of Deposit |  | 1% |
Total-Fixed Income | 40% | 45% | 60%
The parameters for each asset class provide the trustee with the latitude for managing the Pension Plan within a minimum and maximum range. The trustee has full discretion to buy, sell, invest and reinvest in these asset segments based on these guidelines which includes allowing the underlying investments to fluctuate within the stated policy ranges. The Pension Plan maintains a cash equivalents component (not to exceed 3 percent under normal circumstances) within the fixed income allocation for liquidity purposes. The trustee monitors the actual asset segment exposures of the Pension Plan on a regular basis and, periodically, may adjust the asset allocation within the ranges set forth above as it deems appropriate. Periodic reallocations of assets are based on the trustee’s perception of the changing risk/return opportunities of the respective asset classes. Determination of Long-Term Rate of Return The long-term rate of return on assets assumption was set based on historical returns earned by equities and fixed income securities, adjusted to reflect expectations of future returns as applied to the Pension Plan’s target allocation of asset classes. Equities and fixed income securities were assumed to earn real rates of return in the ranges of 6.0 to 10.0 percent and 2.0 to 6.0 percent, respectively. The long-term inflation rate was estimated to be 3.0 percent. When these overall return expectations are applied to the Pension Plan’s target allocation, the result is an expected rate of return of 4.0 to 7.0 percent. ‎ Note 12 - Benefits Plan (continued) The fair values of the Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2022, by asset category (see Note 2 for the definitions of levels), are as follows (In Thousands):

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan The Bank entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (the “SERP Agreement”) with its Chief Executive Officer (“the CEO”) in December 2021, payable in the form of a life annuity. In the event the CEO experiences a separation from service for cause, the CEO will forfeit his entire SERP benefit, regardless of vesting. In the event the CEO dies while in active service with the Bank, his beneficiary will receive a lump sum payment equal to his account balance (the liability accrued by the Bank under generally accepted accounting principles as of such date) at the time of death in a single lump sum. In the event the CEO dies after a separation from service but before receiving 180 monthly payments, his beneficiary will receive the monthly benefit payments that CEO was entitled to at the time of his death until 180 monthly payments have been made. If the CEO has already received 180 monthly payments at the time of his death, his beneficiary will not be entitled to a death benefit. The SERP Agreement is an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits and comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost of the benefit is being amortized over a three-year vesting period beginning in 2021. In 2022, the Bank recorded compensation expense of $328,000 related to the Plan. The anticipated expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 is $350,000 and $45,000, respectively. The Bank has elected to fund the retirement benefit by purchasing annuities that have been designed to provide a future source of funds for the lifetime retirement benefits of the SERP Agreement, totaling $1.81 million, which is included in other assets.
