The actuarial accrued liability was valued at $13,679 million at June 30, 2000. The actuarial value of assets (at market) totaled approximately $12,064 million at June 30, 2000. The difference between the liability and the assets of $1,615 million reflects the unfunded liability of the System at June 30, 2000.
