Reinsurance and Insurance Loss Reserves

Reinsurance and Insurance Loss ReservesCertain of Standard Casualty's premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. We remain obligated for amounts ceded in the event that the reinsurers do not meet their obligations.

The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned were as follows (in thousands):

Typical insurance policies written or assumed have a maximum coverage of $300,000 per claim, of which we cede $125,000 of the risk of loss per reinsurance. Therefore, our risk of loss is limited to $175,000 per claim on typical policies, subject to the reinsurers meeting their obligations. After this limit, amounts are recoverable through reinsurance for catastrophic losses in excess of $2 million per occurrence, up to a maximum of $70 million in the aggregate for that occurrence.

Standard Casualty establishes reserves for claims and claims expense on reported and incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims of non-reinsured losses. Reserves for claims are included in the Accrued expenses and other current liabilities line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and claims expenses are recorded in Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The following details the activity in the reserve for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 (in thousands):
