Experienced Ratio since Inception

Total Actual Incurred Claims (line 3, col. b) / Total Premium After Refunds = Ratio 2

Where Total Earned Premium after Refunds = Total Earned Premiums (line 3, col. a)

− Refunds since Inception (line 6)

Life Years Exposed Since Inception

If the Experienced Ratio is less than the Benchmark Ratio,

and there are more than 500 life years exposure, then

proceed to calculation of refund.

Tolerance Permitted

(obtained from credibility table)

11.

Adjustment to Incurred Claims for Credibility

Ratio 3 = Ratio 2 + Tolerance

If ratio 3 is more than benchmark ratio (ratio 1), a refund

or credit to premium is not required.

If ratio 3 is less than the benchmark ratio, then proceed.

12.

Adjusted Incurred Claims = Total Earned Premiums (line 3, col. a) - Refunds since

Inception (line 6) x Ratio 3 (line 11).

13.

Refund = Total Earned Premium after Refunds – [Adjusted Incurred Claims (line 12)

/Benchmark Ratio (Ratio 1)]

Where Total Earned Premium after Refunds = Total Earned Premiums (line 3, col. a) –

Refunds since Inception (line 6)

If the amount on line 13 is less than .005 times the annualized premium in force as of

December 31 of the reporting year, then no refund is made. Otherwise, the amount

on line 13 is to be refunded or credited, and a description of the refund and/or credit

against premiums to be used must be attached to this form.
