This statement establishes statutory accounting principles for property and casualty insurance contracts.
Study Tips
The CAS syllabus citation for this article is confusing. The syllabus says this is a new reading, however, it actually isn't. The year of publication for the manual changes each year but the content of the article does not.
This SSAP seems more important than some of the others, but it's never been tested (since at least prior to 2012). If you're playing to odds, limit yourself to 1 hour here. I pulled a few factoids from the reading for the BattleCards but you may want to skim the reading in case you have a different opinion on what might be important.

In Plain English!

Discounting: when are reserves discounted...
- - when payments are fixed and reasonably determinable (Ex: structured settlements)
- - LAE is not discounted
Structured Settlements: if an annuity is purchased to fund a structured settlement, describe the accounting treatment...
- - if insurer is the payee ==> no reduction to reserve
- - if claimant is the payee ==> reserves are reduced in the amount that the annuity provides for funding of future payments
Big-Boy Contracts: contracts with terms of at least 13 months and cannot be cancelled or modified by the insurer (Ex: home warranty, mechanical breakdown)
