Effective February 7, 2013, SeaBright Insurance Company (“Seabright”), a Seattle-based insurance company specializing in workers compensation, entered into run-off. In 2012, Enstar Group Limited (“Enstar”), a run-off specialist, purchased SeaBright. SeaBright continues to manage existing claims but no longer writes new or renewal business, which means that premium activity has slowed down. In 2015, a major change occurred when all of SeaBright’s net liabilities (i.e. loss reserves associated with its prior workers comp business) were shifted to an Enstar affiliate, Clarendon National Insurance Company, through a reinsurance agreement. Circumstances that led the company to run-off: SeaBright was placed into run-off driven by weakened underwriting performance associated with reserve strengthening actions for accident years 2007 through 2009, primarily related to increasing medical cost trends. Additionally, SeaBright was facing marketplace challenges associated with its geographic and coverage lines expansion. Seabright has had to deal with significant pressure from its workers comp book developing adversely year-over-year and having to liquidate investments to satisfy claims and expenses. The reinsurance contract with Clarendon did provide major relief but SeaBright still remains a going concern and without premiums coming in and asset base rapidly shrinking, its solvency status as an insurance company remains questionable. The key now is to track the level of credit risk

For Shelby and Mark, they are faced with determining what insurance policy will fit their needs now and in the future. With Shelby owning her own business, this health insurance policy will cover both her and Mark, so consideration needs to be given to the health of both individuals. The health care insurance planner sheet will allow them to review the numbers behind both policies to determine what is best for them financially, as well as in the event that one of them should suffer some type of medical crisis. This form will give them the tools to make an informed decision concerning the out of pocket costs for both HMO and a traditional policy. Additionally, should a medical crisis occur that forces either Shelby or Mark into claiming
Healthcare is expensive and Americans look for the best healthcare they can possibly get. Since consumers are always demanding for better insurance covers, employers are trying to provide the resources that have an effective prices and not raising costs. The Human Resources department in Arapahoe County has recently developed a new health care insurance guide in order to control the County’s rising cost for health care insurance. This project will be experienced on all County’s departments, including Clerk &Recorder 's Office. In this memo, I provide you with a cost-benefit analysis of this new project to change the way benefits are provided on an experimental basis.

Today millennials are seemingly unaware of the benefits of homeownership. I know this because of the lack of effort given by most of this group to do what it takes to become a homeowner. I currently work a supervisor at a debt collection agency here in Anchorage, AK. I see more and more individuals who seem to not car about bills that are in collections. A lot of younger consumers are seeming to hang up, not care or get overwhelmed by so many bills, especially medical. It’s very unfortunate when you know someone care about their bills and credit and just happens to get in binds. However, I find this is not the case with younger consumers. Paying bills are just not a priority it seems. I was born March 27,1989. For me when I was in high

Changes in tax laws, government benefit programs, and other State and Federal regulations can affect the insurance needs of clients and how agents conduct business (Abraham & Herman, 1998). Courses in psychology, sociology, and public speaking can prove useful in improving sales techniques (Abraham & Herman, 1998). The use of computers to provide instantaneous information on a wide variety of financial products has greatly improved agents’ and brokers’ efficiency and enabled them to devote more time to clients’ needs (Abraham & Herman, 1998).
Recently, using an “insurance score” as tool to determine risk is popular. The insurance score is used to foresee the likelihood of filing a claim or the level of risk. It is based on some of the information in ones credit report.
