PEBB currently has a PDA balance with Standard generated from previous surplus premiums paid for the STD, LTD and optional life coverages. A summary of the current PDA and impact of funding the STD plan change follows:
PDA Balance as of 12/31/12 Projected 2013 Withdrawals (0.05% of insured earnings) Projected PDA balance as of 1/1/14 Renewal Options Employee Rate (currently 0.54%) Withdrawal from PDA (currently 0.05%) 2014 Projected Withdrawal Projected PDA balance as of 12/31/14 2015 Projected Withdrawal $4,371.373 ($634,820) $3,736.553 1 0.59% 0.10% $1,269,639 $2,466,914 $1,269,639 2 0.64% 0.05% $634,820 $3,101,734 $634,820

Projected PDA balance as of 12/31/15 (subject to final accounting for STD/LTD/optional life coverages (1/1/14 12/31/15)

$1,197,275

$2,466,914

PDA is cash balance held by Standard to be used at PEBBs discretion. Implications of buying down the rates are that the funds are not available for future use and employees would potentially experience a larger one time rate increase at a later date.

Increase in retention as a % of Premium General expenses increased from 3.5% to 7.7% Claims administration increase from 6.9% to 8.5% Risk charges increased from 2.0% to 3.0% Standard initially requested a 15% increase in LTD rates. Agreed to lower the overall increase to 8.2% because of the remaining Claim Fluctuation Reserve (CFR) account. Standard uses the CFR to cover deficits created by plan experience. As the CFR is drawn down the protection against bad experience is depleted and will likely require Standard to increase risk charges at future renewals (should claims experience not improve) Potential implication is a larger rate increase at future renewals
