 Unfunded Liability = The amount of money the Town would need to come up with in cash right now to add to the “program
  assets” if the Town had to pay the whole fund out right now
Funded Ratio = There is only enough money invested to cover this percentage of what benefits are owed. Meaning if the Town
  81
 had to pay out the whole obligation right now, there are currently only enough funds to pay out 49 cents to each dollar owed.
