Note 20:    Employee Benefits

 

The Company participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra DB Plan), a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan covering all employees who have met minimum service requirements.  Effective July 1, 2006, this plan was closed to new participants.  Employees already in the plan continue to accrue benefits.  The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 333.  The Company’s policy is to fund pension cost accrued.  Employer contributions charged to expense for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, were approximately $1.1 million, $725,000 and $742,000, respectively.  The Company’s contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan were not more than 5% of the total contributions to the plan.  The funded status of the plan as of July 1, 2017 and 2016, was 98.2% and 98.5%, respectively.  The funded status was calculated by taking the market value of plan assets, which reflected contributions received through June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, divided by the funding target.  No collective bargaining agreements are in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. 

 

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees.  The Company matches 100% of the employee’s contribution on the first 3% of the employee’s compensation and also matches an additional 50% of the employee’s contribution on the next 2% of the employee’s compensation.  Employer contributions charged to expense for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, were approximately $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $951,000, respectively.
