(North Carolina State University) Research shows that, nationally, states are facing more than $550 billion in unfunded liabilities associated with health care and other non-pension benefits for retired state employees, a situation many states are now struggling to fix.

New research from North Carolina State University has identified a number of trends that are consistent among those states with the biggest funding problems -- information that may help states find a solution to the funding shortfall.
