The following two documents were obtained by the Office of the State Actuary (OSA) at the request of non-OSA legislative staff on behalf of a legislator. As such, they were originally privileged and not subject to public disclosure. It is our understanding that these documents were then released to the public by non-OSA legislative staff. These documents have been posted here at the direct request of the chair of the SCPP.
