	Years Ended November 30,
	2023		2022		2021

(a)Represents net changes in estimated probable recoveries related to self-insurance, which are recorded in receivables, to present our self-insurance liability on a gross basis, and an adjustment to increase our previously recorded liability by $6.5 million in 2023, $7.0 million in 2022 and $6.8 million in 2021. The 2022 amount was largely impacted by a change in the actuarially determined estimate of probable recoveries associated with higher self-insured retention levels in our more recent coverage years, and an insurance carrier’s payment of a portion of a townhome claim settlement reached in the 2022 first quarter.
