  • Column (4) - Deviation From 1/1/99 Relativities: Calculate the deviation from the 1/1/99 relativities as follows: Column (1) / Column (3). If the resulting deviation for a company is greater than 1.000, then that company must provide actuarial support for its deviation.
OPTION 2:
  • Company Name and NAIC Number: Enter the company name and NAIC code of each company in your group for which you are filing.
  • Column (1) - Current Deviation: Enter each company´s current average deviation from the 1/1/97 Relativities.

The company´s off-balance factor is the sum over all class codes of (v) divided by the sum over all class codes of (iii).
  • Column (4) - Deviation From 1/1/99 Relativities: Calculate the deviation from the 1/1/99 relativities as follows: Column (1) / Column (3). If the resulting deviation for a company is greater than 1.000, then that company must provide actuarial support for its deviation.
OPTION 3:
  • Company Name and NAIC Number: Enter the company name and NAIC code of each company in your group for which you are filing.
  • Column (1) - Current Deviation: Enter each company´s current average deviation from the 1/1/97 Relativities.

  • Column (3) - Off-Balance Factor: Enter either 0.700 or, the company determined off-balanced factor. If column (3) is a number other than 0.700, actuarial support for the off-balance factor must be provided. See the instructions for column (3) under option 2 for required support.
  • Column (4) - Deviation From 1/1/99 Relativities: Enter the deviation shown in column (1). If the resulting deviation for a company is greater than 1.000, then that company must provide actuarial support for its deviation.
OPTION 4:
  • Company Name and NAIC Number: Enter the company name and NAIC code of each company in your group for which you are filing.
  • Column (1) - Current Deviation: Enter each company´s current average deviation from the 1/1/97 Relativities.
  • Column (2) - Rate Change: Enter the rate change as a factor (a -10% rate change should be expressed as 0.900). This number should be consistent with the overall rate change found on TDI Filings Made Easy Exhibit C, column (E), line (3). For example, if Column (2) is 0.900, then Exhibit C, col. (E), line 3 should be -10%.
  • Column (3) - Off-Balance Factor: Enter either 0.700 or, the company determined off-balanced factor. If column (3) is a number other than 0.700 actuarial support for the off-balance factor must be provided. See the instructions for column (3) under option 2 for required support.
  • Column (4) - Deviation From 1/1/99 Relativities: Calculate the deviation from the 1/1/99 relativities as follows: [Column (1)*Column (2)]/ Column (3). If the resulting deviation for a company is greater than 1.000, then that company must provide actuarial support for its deviation.
OPTION 5:
  • Company Name and NAIC Number: Enter the company name and NAIC code of each company in your group for which you are filing.

See the instructions for column (3) under option 2 for required support.
  • Column (2) - Rate Change: Enter the rate change as a factor (a -10% rate change should be expressed as 0.900). This number should be consistent with the overall rate change found on TDI Filings Made Easy Exhibit C, column (E), line (3). For example, if Column (2) is 0.900, then Exhibit C, col. (E), line 3 should be -10%.
  • Column (3) - Off-Balance Factor: Enter a factor of 1.000, or any applicable off-balance factor. Actuarial support for this figure must be provided. See the instructions for column (3) under option 2 for required support.
