Group Long–Term Disability (LTD) Benefit Offset Study
The Society of Actuaries' Health Section is pleased to make available a research report on the offset of benefits for group LTD plans. In particular, 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. The report was authored by Robert Beal of Milliman, Inc.
The report can be accessed by clicking on the following link:
A second phase of this effort is underway to explore specific methodologies for valuing the impact of the offsets.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the report, please contact Steve Siegel, Research Actuary at ssiegel@soa.org.
