BackgroundA Structured Settlement Annuity is a stream of payments arising from court proceeds
Background
Common uses: Common goals are to:
• Workmen’s compensation• Individual long-term disability claims• Lawsuit settlements providing life-
contingent income• Medicare Set Asides (MSA’s)
• Control costs under malpractice claims• Ensure monies will be available in future
years• Structure payments based on the needs
of the individual

Mortality Experience Study
• Covers experience for 1966-97
• Includes 5,854 deaths
1993
TSA 1991-92 Reports
• Covers experience for 1966-89
• Includes 1,391 deaths
1997
TSA 1995-96 Reports
• Covers experience for 1966-93
• Includes 3,033 deaths
Feb. 2016
Mortality Experience Report & Associated Tables
• Covers experience for 2000-08
• Includes 7,749 deaths
[Dec. 2016]
Mortality Experience Report & Associated Tables
• Covers experience for 2009-13
• Includes 11,112 deaths
A report covering mortality experience for 2000-08 was released earlier this year and there are plans to release a report covering experience for 2009-13 later this year

Background
2000-08 StudyPurposes
1 To compare emerging SS experience to that assumed in currently-used valuation tables
2 For substandard business, develop A/E ratios using the ”true age + CED” method as well as the rated age method
3 To provide a credible basis for actuaries to assess mortality in this unique line of business

2000-08 StudyContents
Background
Data gathered • 7,749 deaths (latest Individual Payout Annuity study included 132,000 deaths)
• Data covers two separate submissions (2000-04, 2005-08)
• Study data reflects contracts with life contingent payments only
• Experience is measured by amount and by count
• Amount is defined as statutory reserve
Contents• Report
• Associated Pivot Tables in two Excel files:
i. Standard lives
ii. Substandard lives
Data Splits• Underwriting group
• Gender
• Experience year
• Issue age group
• Attained age group
• Rated attained age group
• Duration

PopulationExposure by ‘true’ issue age
Background
Standard Lives Substandard Lives
Average: 43 Average: 39
The distribution of exposure by issue age is significantly different than that for payout annuities, which have a much higher average issue age
14
Study YearA/E ratios by contract and by amount
The decline between the 2 study periods indicates some mortality improvement but it also reflects:
• Random fluctuation• Differences in company mix between periods• Evolving changes in SS annuitant population
2000-08 Study Results | Standard Lives
16
Attained AgeA/E ratios by contract and by amount
• Results mirror those by issue age• Steady decline after attained age 35• Overall A/E Ratios exceed 100%• A/E Ratios drop below 100% at higher ages

DurationA/E ratios by contract and by amount
• 4 duration groups:− to make output more manageable− to reduce random fluctuation
• A/E Ratios increase with early durations− There is some selection− Selection wears off after 10 years

Approach Description
1 Non-Rated • Mortality is based off the natural age of the annuitant• This approach is not commonly used in practice
2 Rated Age
• A rated age is determined at issue such that the life expectancy of the rated age is equal to the reduced life expectancy of the annuitant
• Mortality is based on this rated age• It is common to price structured settlement contracts using the rated
age of the annuitant
3 Constant Extra Deaths (CED)
• A constant addition to mortality rates is determined at issue as an amount such that the life expectancy is equal to the reduced life expectancy of the annuitant
• This approach is permitted as a minimum for Statutory reserving purposes under Actuarial Guideline IX-A
BackgroundRated mortality approaches

BackgroundComparison of approaches
The extra mortality is front-loaded under the CED approach and more level under Rated Age

Rated Mortality ApproachUsing the 1983 IAM mortality table, results were analyzed under the approaches to setting mortality for rated cases
The pattern of A/E ratios lines up reasonably well with the pattern of extra mortality assumed (see graph on previous slide)
2000-08 Study Results | Substandard Lives
2222
Rated Mortality ApproachUsing the 2012 IAM mortality table, results were analyzed under the approaches to setting mortality for rated cases
The 2012 IAM table assumes mortality lower than structured settlement experience

2323
Rated Mortality ApproachUsing the 2000-08 SSA mortality table, results were analyzed under the approaches to setting mortality for rated cases
A/E multiples fluctuate by duration, but follow a similar durational pattern under each mortality table examined

Expected Mortality TableRated age A/E’s weighted by contract are shown below by duration under each of the three mortality tables
A/E multiples fluctuate by duration, but follow a similar durational pattern under each mortality table examined

Study YearRated age A/E’s weighted by contract are shown below by study year under the 1983 IAM and 2000-08 SSA mortality tables
The study compiles two sets of experience data. The split is indicated by the dotted line in the chart above

Exposure BasisRated age A/E’s weighted by contract and amount are shown below by duration under the 1983 IAM mortality table
Results fluctuate by count and amount. More ‘count’ data was submitted and results by count are less prone to large case bias
2000-08 Study Results | Substandard Lives
2727
GenderRated age A/E’s weighted by contract are shown below by duration split by gender under the 1983 IAM mortality table
A/E’s for females are higher than males. This is the case under the various mortality tables examined
2000-08 Study Results | Substandard Lives
2828
AgeA/E’s by contract under the 1983 IAM mortality table are shown below, split by rated attained age and rated issue age
Although A/E’s exhibit a durational pattern, there is a downward trend by rated issue age and attained age

Findings Standard Rated
1 The business mix differs greatly from retirement annuities
2 Available mortality tables do not provide a good fit for experience
3 Structured settlement business exhibits true age mortality levels well in excess of rates in annuity valuation tables
