Pension Benefits Pension Benefits

We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees.  The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), is funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid.  The Plan and our most significant non-qualified plan in the U.S. are closed to new salaried participants.  

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 3, 2016 we contributed $20 million to the Plan, and do not expect to make any further significant contributions in 2016.

The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our significant U.S. pension plans are as follows:
