Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors the Employees’ Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP, which is a qualified defined contribution plan that covers eligible U.S. and certain international employees. ECAP provides for distributions to participants by reason of retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment. The Company provides an annual matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible annual compensation. Total expense recognized under ECAP for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $176.8 million, $166.3 million, and $151.0 million, respectively and the Company-paid contributions were $171.6 million, $163.0 million, and $146.5 million, respectively.
Post Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company provides postretirement healthcare benefits to former officers under a medical indemnity insurance plan, with premiums paid by the Company. This plan is referred to as the Officer Medical Plan. The Company recognizes a liability for the defined benefit plans' underfunded status, measures the defined benefit plans' obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the fiscal year, and recognizes as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income the changes in the defined benefit plans' funded status that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost.
The components of net postretirement medical expense for the Officer Medical Plan were as follows: 
 Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
 202220212020
Service cost$6,505 $5,657 $4,955 
Interest cost4,063 4,237 4,859 
Total postretirement medical expense$10,568 $9,894 $9,814 
The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses, and the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost (interest cost and net actuarial loss) are included as part of other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The weighted-average discount rate used to determine the year-end benefit obligation for the Officer Medical Plan were 3.75%, 3.40% and 3.60% for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates for the Officer Medical Plan at March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:    
Pre-65 initial rate20222021
Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year6.30 %6.55 %
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)4.50 %4.50 %
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate20312029
Post-65 initial rate20222021
Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year6.45 %6.75 %
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)4.50 %4.50 %
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate20312029
The changes in the benefit obligation, plan assets, and funded status of the Officer Medical Plan were as follows: 
 Fiscal Year Ended March 31,
 202220212020
Benefit obligation, beginning of the year$121,518 $119,609 $120,341 
Service cost6,505 5,657 4,955 
Interest cost4,063 4,237 4,859 
Net actuarial gain(13,563)(3,466)(6,761)
Benefits paid(5,018)(4,519)(3,785)
Benefit obligation, end of the year$113,505 $121,518 $119,609 
The net actuarial gain related to the benefit obligation in fiscal 2022 was primarily due to favorable changes in estimated medical costs and increases in discount rates, partially offset by updates to demographic assumptions and outlook of higher future medical inflation. The net actuarial gain related to the benefit obligation in fiscal 2021 was primarily due to a favorable medical cost experience, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from declines in discount rates as of March 31, 2021. The net actuarial gain related to the benefit obligation in fiscal 2020 was due mainly to the repeal of excise tax on high cost health plans in December 2019, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from declines in discount rates and changes in estimated medical costs as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the unfunded status of the Officer Medical Plan was $113.5 million and $121.5 million, respectively, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Long-term Disability Benefits
The Company offers medical and dental benefits to inactive employees (and their eligible dependents) on long-term disability. These benefits do not vary with an employee's years of service; therefore, the Company is required to accrue the costs of the benefits at the date the inactive employee becomes disability eligible and elects to participate in the benefit. The accrued cost for such benefits is calculated using an actuarial estimate. The accrued cost for these benefits was $9.3 million and $10.9 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are presented in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
