## Funding and Cash Flows 

It is Arconic’s policy to fund amounts for pension plans sufficient to meet the minimum requirements set forth in applicable country benefits laws and tax laws. Periodically, Arconic contributes additional amounts as deemed appropriate. In 2018 and 2017, cash contributions to Arconic’s pension plans were $298 and $310, respectively. The $298 includes $72 contributed to the Company’s U.S. plans that was in excess of the minimum required under ERISA. 

The minimum required contribution to pension plans in 2019 is estimated to be $255 (of which $230 is for U.S. plans) and includes $34 related to an agreement reached with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), as discussed in the following paragraph. 

During the third quarter of 2016, the PBGC approved management’s plan to separate the Alcoa Inc. pension plans between Arconic Inc. and Alcoa Corporation. The plan stipulates that Arconic will make cash contributions over a period of 30 months (from November 1, 2016) to its two largest pension plans. Payments are expected to be made in three increments of no less than $50 each ($150 total) over this 30-month period. The Company made payments of $50 in March 2018 and $50 in April 2017. In the third quarter of 2018, the 2018 U.S. pension plan valuations were completed and additional pension contributions of $16 that were made in the first quarter of 2018 were able to be used to partially satisfy the third $50 requirement. The remaining $34 payment is expected to be made in 2019. Through the end of 2018, $116 of pension contributions have been made toward the $150 requirement. 

Benefit payments expected to be paid to pension and other postretirement benefit plans’ participants and expected Medicare Part D subsidy receipts are as follows utilizing the current assumptions outlined above:
