A. Scope and Effective Date of the Pension Tables

The reporting of incurred indemnity amounts for pension payments associated with fatal and permanent total injuries should reflect a case reserve based on the annuity values contained in this section. The annuity values are an estimate of the present value of an annual indemnity benefit which begins with a value of one dollar but is subject to applicable cost of living adjustments (escalation). The duration of the pension payments is a function of the beneficiary type – injured worker, surviving spouse or dependents other than the surviving spouse.

 

Pension benefits for a permanent total injury are paid to the injured worker until death. A surviving spouse is entitled to benefits until remarriage or death. Lastly, dependents other than a surviving spouse are entitled to benefits until death or until they are fully self-supporting (typically, upon reaching the age of eighteen).

 

The pension tables reflect the 2007 United States Life Table and the 1997 Railroad Retirement Board remarriage table. In the case of Table III, the tables also vary as to the gender of the injured worker.

 

These tables are provided as a guide for helping carriers compute claim reserves.

 

To reflect the time value of money, all of the tables assume an annual discount rate of 3.5%. The escalation factor included in each table is shown at the bottom of each table.
