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.
