Adjustment to Incurred

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).
|
|
|
|

|
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
