POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS. Embarq provides postretirement benefits (principally, medical and life insurance coverage) to its employees through plans sponsored by Sprint Nextel. The Sprint Nextel plans allow eligibility to employees retiring before certain dates to benefits at no cost, or at a reduced cost. Employees retiring after certain dates are eligible for benefits on a shared-cost basis. Sprint Nextel funds the accrued costs as benefits are paid. Sprint Nextel uses a December 31 measurement date for its postretirement benefit plans. Embarq’s net postretirement benefit costs are determined based on a calculation of service costs, interest on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, an appropriate amortization of unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses. Embarq recorded a direct and allocated net postretirement benefit cost of $16 million, $33 million and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Sprint Nextel eliminated prescription drug benefits for Medicare eligible retirees, replacing them with a $500 annual reimbursement of Medicare premiums, effective in 2006. This change necessitated a remeasurement of retiree medical expense for the year ended December 31, 2005. The impact of the change was a $12 million reduction of direct expense recognized by Embarq for the period. This change resulted in an accumulated postretirement benefit obligation decline of $224 million. During the year ended December 31, 2004, Sprint Nextel amended certain retiree medical plans to standardize the plan design effective January 1, 2005, eliminating differences in benefit levels. These amendments decreased Embarq’s accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, or APBO, (direct portion only), related to other postretirement benefits by approximately $33 million, and decreased the 2004 net direct benefit expense by $5 million. As a result of these amendments, Sprint Nextel also recognized the effects of the 2003 Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act, or the Act. The Act provides for subsidies to employers who provide prescription drug coverage to retirees that is actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Analysis of Sprint Nextel’s retiree prescription drug claims data determined that Sprint Nextel’s retiree prescription drug benefit was actuarially equivalent. In estimating the effects of the Act, estimates of participation rates and per capita claims costs were ...
