Worcester County

Snow Hill, Maryland – Worcester County is making giant strides toward fully funding Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trusts for County and Board of Education (BOE) retirees. That’s according to a valuation by Menard Consulting, Inc., which confirms that in fiscal year (FY) 2024 Worcester County’s OPEB liability for the BOE decreased by $44.8 million. This brings the County much closer to the goal of eliminating the need for General Fund revenues to pay the cost of healthcare benefits for retirees.
