Changes in Guaranteed Liability Balances

The GMWB, GMDB and chronic care guarantees are recorded in policy liabilities and accruals on our balance sheets. Changes in the liability are recorded in policy benefits, excluding policyholder dividends, on our statements of comprehensive income. We regularly evaluate estimates used and adjust the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

Universal life

 

Liabilities for universal life contracts, some of which contain secondary guarantees, are generally determined by estimating the expected value of benefits and expenses when claims are triggered and recognizing those benefits and expenses ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating these liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs.
