For 2020, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial loss that changed the benefit obligation were mainly related to a decrease in discount rates partially offset by a greater return on the fair value of plan assets. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial loss that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to a decrease in discount rates partially offset by the per capita claim assumption at year-end which was lower than expected and the healthcare trend rate assumption which was updated at year-end. For 2019, significant components of the Pension Plans actuarial loss that changed the benefit obligation were mainly related to updates in discount and mortality rates. For OPEB Plans significant components of the actuarial loss that change the benefit obligation were mainly related to updates in discount and mortality rates partially offset by update in healthcare election rates and expected annual healthcare costs.
