01
The opportunity
Could you reduce workers’ compensation indemnity reserves—and end years of payment administration?
An open claim is more than a payment stream. It is a continuing operational and financial obligation.
Long-tail claims consume claims resources, require recurring reserve reviews and expose organizations to decades of administrative uncertainty.
A properly designed liability transfer can convert that obligation into a known, funded outcome while preserving the claimant’s scheduled benefits.
02
How it works
A disciplined, claim-specific process
Four steps from open obligation to predictable outcome.
Compare
You receive side-by-side pricing, including life-only and reversionary-interest alternatives when appropriate.
Implement
The selected solution mirrors the required benefits through a highly rated life insurance company.
Transition
Future indemnity payments move to the selected funding arrangement, ending recurring check processing subject to the governing documentation.
Designed as an administrative benefit-replacement strategy—not a claimant settlement—when permitted by applicable law and documentation.
03
Case study
Evidence before promises
One Illinois PTD file. Three clear decision points.
We gave claims and management a side-by-side view of the existing exposure and two transfer alternatives.
Estimated future payout$758,000Current obligation
Likely reserve at 4%$456,000Modeled benchmark
Life-only liability transfer$383,000Selected
Transfer with reversionary interest$423,000Optional safeguard
The client selected the life-only option.
A $73,000 reduction from the modeled reserve, $375,000 less than estimated future payments, and no more check processing.
Case results are specific to the facts, pricing date, documentation and reserve assumptions shown. Individual results will vary.
