Description: 1959 SOA Regional Meetings in Atlanta and San Francisco. These discussions on pensions examined the advantages of funding deferred profit sharing plans through a life insurance company and the problems involved in final average retirement plans.

Description: The purposes of this paper were to help determine the level of adequacy of the 1964 Commissioners Disability Table as a basis for reserving disabled lives, and to provide individual insurers with information that might aid them in their deliberations concerning reserve adequacy and reserve table modifications. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1980, Vol. 32.

Description: The report analyzes the results of a survey of LTD carriers in the United States, focusing on how LTD carriers reflect benefit offsets in the valuation of their reserves.

Description: In an endeavor to reach some conclusion as to our real liabilities for such benefits, we have made a double valuation of our outstanding disability benefits, using 1 a maximum or conservative basis and 2 a minimum or liberal basis. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1955, Vol. 7, No. 19.

Description: In this paper, a format for a two-dimensional actual-to-expected report based on terminations from disability claim status is presented. From Transactions of Society of Actuaries 1980, Vol. 32.

Description: Summary of a LTD Profitability and Market Survery discussing growth, profits and new developments. Issue No. 34.

Description: In this paper a method is described for pricing - and reserving for- return of premium benefits under disability income policies. Followed by a discussion paper

Description: The report details data from a number of carriers on the percentage of LTD claimants who are receiving disability benefits from other sources that offset their LTD benefits and how this percentage is affected by various factors.

Description: This discussion looks at the success rate companies have in the sale of long-term disability benefits, benefits provided after plan termination, appropriate experience for determination of premiums and reserves, determination of reserve liabilities for continuing claims, and experience rating.

Description: A simple short-term disability model is developed, where the loss process is comprised of two processes: new claims process and continuing claims process. This results in a surplus function with stationary dependent increments. Three dimensional transitional probabilities are needed to model the transitions of this non-Markovian process. An approximating model with stationary independent increments is found. The approximating model leads to bounds for the finite probability of ruin. Numerical comparisons are made.
