Description: Report of the Task Force to Recommend Morbidity Standards for Valuation of Credit Disability. The key recommendation was that a new morbidity standard for valuation of policy reserves be adopted based on the tables developed by the Task Force. The tables are developed from the 85CIDA tables with incidence rates increased by 12%.

Description: In January 1998, the NAIC Life and Health Actuarial Technical Task Force asked the Society of Actuaries to address disability reserving issues. The reason for this request was that the NAIC had received reports that statutory reserves based on the current morbidity tables frequently fail the tests of adequacy and reasonableness. Further, they requested that this review extend to contract and claim reserves and across all lines of disability insurance - group and individual, and short- and long-term. They also requested help in establishing when it is appropriate for a company to use its own experience in valuation. This report represents a recommendation to the NAIC for an interim update to the 1985 CIDA Table for Individual Disability claim reserves. This zip file contains the final report and appendices.

Description: Report by the Committee on Disability and Double Indemnity on an intercompany study of the experience under disability benefits supplementary to Ordinary life insurance policies. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1952 Reports

Description: The Committee's charge was to develop new disability tables for possible adoption by appropriate authorities for valuation of individual policy reserves, i.e. active life reserves, and individual and group claim reserves for disabled lives. It was generally agreed that the current valuation table, the 1964 Commissioner’s Disability Table, ‘1964 CDT,’ was no longer appropriate for several reasons. This paper presents the detailed results of the committee's findings and their recommendations. From the 1985 Transactions, Vol. 37.
