Group Insurance

Group life insurance for employees is one of numerous voluntary insurance products covering employees’ personal risks. It can be an important complement to mandatory insurance arrangements (especially social insurance schemes) that provide personal coverage for workers. While employees may take out their life insurance on an individual basis, employer-offered group life insurance is an attractive alternative. Joining a group insurance plan is an employee’s individual decision that should be taken based on his or her knowledge of the terms of coverage. The purpose of this article is to point out the differences between employee group life coverage and individual life insurance, with a particular emphasis on insurance funding aspects and how they affect certain aspects of relevance to employees.

Poisson Mixture Model

AbstractWe propose a Poisson mixture model for count data to determine the number of groups in a Group Life insurance portfolio consisting of claim numbers or deaths. We take a non-parametric Bayesian approach to modelling this mixture distribution using a Dirichlet process prior and use reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo to estimate the number of components in the mixture. Unlike Haastrup, we show that the assumption of identical heterogeneity for all groups may not hold as 88% of the posterior probability is assigned to models with two or three components, and 11% to models with four or five components, whereas models with one component are never visited. Our major contribution is showing how to account for both model uncertainty and parameter estimation within a single framework.

Group Life

In 1935 the New York Insurance Department introduced the concept of special contingency funds for certain types of insurance. Such requirements had first been introduced in 1925 for mutual workmen's compensation companies. Clear, consistent principles for these funds were not stated at the time, but their purpose seems to be to provide a cushion that may be used in time of serious financial difficulty.In group life insurance, this fund is a “special contingency reserve” and is carried at the suggestion of the New York Department). For mutual casualty, nonprofit hospitalization and medical indemnity plans, and for reciprocal insurers, the fund is treated as “special contingent surplus”, and is a mandated substitute for the minimum capital required of stock insurers). The U.S. federal Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act of 1959 recognizes special credits of a similar nature for health, non-participating life and group life and health insurance coverages.In all of these cases, the accumulations or credits are defined by a designated percentage of premiums). For the New York Department group life reserve and the Income Tax health and group life credit, a maximum is defined by a second percentage of the same annual premiums base. For the nonprofit plans' surplus, a similar maximum in terms of premium is used. However, in the case of mutual casualty companies, and of reciprocal insurers, the “special contingency surplus” must be built up to a defined absolute amount equal to the amount that would be required as capital of a stock company; there are no statutory provisions for withdrawing any part of such a fund once it is accumulated.
