Schedule of Self-Insurance Liability

The changes in our self-insurance liability were as follows (in thousands):

	Years Ended November 30,
	2024		2023		2022
Balance at beginning of year	$179,832		$175,977		$189,131
Self-insurance provided	21,663		18,351		21,926
Payments	(16,008)		(20,896)		(21,984)
Adjustments (a)	(59)		6,400		(13,096)
Balance at end of year	$185,428		$179,832		$175,977

(a)Represents net changes in estimated probable recoveries related to self-insurance, which are recorded in receivables, to

present our self-insurance liability on a gross basis, and an adjustment to increase our previously recorded liability by

$5.5 million in 2024, $6.5 million in 2023 and $7.0 million in 2022.  The 2022 amount was largely impacted by a change

in the actuarially determined estimate of probable recoveries associated with higher self-insured retention levels in our

more recent coverage years, and an insurance carrier’s payment of a portion of a townhome claim settlement reached in the

2022 first quarter.
