Widening Gap Update: Oklahoma
Oklahoma failed to consistently pay its full annual pension contribution from 2005 to 2010. The system was 56 percent funded in fiscal year 2010 and faced a $16 billion funding gap.

Oklahoma only acknowledges a minimal retiree health care obligation of about $3 million, none of which was funded, well below the 8 percent national average in 2010.
