ALUCA’s Individual Disability Income Insurance (IDII) Financial Underwriting and Claims White Paper
Led by ALUCA National Board member Jo Hetherington from TAL, ALUCA’s IDII Working Group has developed an industry best practice framework for prudent financial underwriting and claims assessment of Individual Disability Income Insurance (IDII). The group was formed to address the ongoing sustainability of IDII, and more specifically, the sustainability issues in the financial underwriting and claims area based on recommendations from the Actuaries Institute DII Taskforce and APRA’s thematic review.
The report aims to assist with the industry’s long-term market sustainability, while at the same time meeting the financial needs of customers. It outlines some practical applications, actions and recommendations for insurers, including a range of tools and risk matrix options.
Within this report, the ALUCA Working Group identified 5 key areas they believed would have the biggest impact on the issue of IDII sustainability from a financial underwriting and claims perspective.
