LIABILITIES FOR INSURANCE PRODUCTS
LIABILITIES FOR INSURANCE PRODUCTS
The liability for future policy benefits is determined based on numerous assumptions. The most significant assumptions for our life and annuity business are mortality and lapse/withdrawal rates which are based on our experience and, in cases of limited experience, industry experience. Mortality and lapse/withdrawal rates also take into consideration future expectations in policyholder behavior that may vary from past experience. For our health business, mortality rates, lapse rates, morbidity assumptions and future rate increases are based on our experience and, in cases of limited experience, industry experience. Such assumptions also consider future expectations in policyholder behavior that may vary from past experience.

In the first nine months of 2023, we reviewed the actual mortality, lapse, and morbidity experience and determined that no changes to assumptions for future cash flows were necessary. This is consistent with the impact in the "Effect of actual variances from expected experience" line items in the tables below, which indicate our actual experience did not deviate significantly from our expectations.

The following tables summarize balances and changes in the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (dollars in millions):

_______________
(1) Primarily comprised of blocks of business that are 100% ceded.
(2) Such amount represents the difference between: (i) the total insurance liabilities for our fixed indexed annuities (including the host contract and the related embedded derivative); and (ii) the policyholder account balances for these products. The accounting requirement to bifurcate the embedded derivative and value it at the current estimated fair value results in this amount.
(3) In certain instances, the total insurance liabilities for a particular line of business may not be deficient in the aggregate to trigger loss recognition, but the pattern of earnings may be such that profits are expected to be recognized in earlier years followed by losses in later years. In these situations, accounting standards require that an additional liability (the "future loss reserve") be recognized by an amount necessary to sufficiently offset the losses that would be recognized in later years.
Many of our fixed indexed annuity products include a GLWB that is considered a MRB. The calculation of MRBs includes market assumptions (interest rate, equity returns, volatility and dividend yields) and nonmarket assumptions (mortality rates, surrender and withdrawal rates, GLWB utilization and spreads). Market assumptions are updated quarterly to reflect current market conditions. During the first nine months of 2023, we reviewed the nonmarket assumptions used to calculate MRBs and determined that such assumptions were appropriate.

The following table presents the balance of and changes in MRBs associated with our fixed indexed annuities (dollars in millions):
