  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 had to pay out the whole obligation right now, there are currently only enough funds
  to pay out 39 cents to each dollar owed which is the lowest funded ratio so far.  76
