This adjustment is most prevalent in our term life insurance products due to their product design of a level premium period followed by annual premium rate increases.

Long-term care insurance For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the impact of updates to cash flow assumptions resulted in a decrease of $86 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily due to favorable updates to implementation timing and approval amounts of in-force rate actions. This decrease in the liability for future policy benefits was largely offset in our reinsurance recoverable as the cash flow assumption updates were primarily related to fully reinsured blocks of business. The impact of actual versus expected experience for the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted in an increase of $48 million in the liability for future policy benefits and included higher benefit utilization. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed our annual review of cash flow assumptions including expected claim incidence and terminations, expenses, interest rates, benefit utilization trend and in-force rate actions, among other assumptions. The impact of changes in cash flow assumptions during the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted in a decrease of $ 16 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily as a result of a favorable update to our disabled life mortality assumptions to reflect an expectation that mortality will continue at elevated levels in the near term post the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). This was partially offset by unfavorable updates to our healthy life assumptions to better reflect near-term experience for cost of care, mortality, incidence and lapse rates. We also evaluated our assumptions regarding expectations of future premium rate increase approvals and benefit reductions and did not make significant changes to our multi-year in-force rate action plan. However, we did increase our assumption for future approvals and benefit reductions given our current plans for rate increase filings and our historical experience regarding approvals and regulatory support, as well as benefit reductions and legal settlement results. The impact of actual versus expected experience during the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted in an increase of $ 315 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily driven by higher claims and unfavorable timing impacts related to a legal settlement. Life insurance For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the impact of actual versus expected experience resulted in an increase of $12 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily due to unfavorable mortality impacts. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed our annual review of cash flow assumptions and increased our liability for future policy benefits by $81 million primarily as a result of unfavorable updates to our mortality assumptions to better reflect emerging experience related to more modest mortality improvement and to include an expectation that mortality will continue at elevated levels in the near term post-COVID-19. The impact of actual versus expected experience during the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted in an increase of $23 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily driven by unfavorable mortality experience. Fixed annuities For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the impact of actual versus expected experience resulted in a decrease of $42 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily due to favorable mortality. The impact of changes in cash flow assumptions and actual versus expected experience during the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted in decreases of $33 million and $30 million, respectively, in the liability for future policy benefits primarily from favorable mortality.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a charge of $5 million to net income due to net premiums exceeding gross premiums, resulting in net premium ratios capped at 100% for certain cohorts in our life insurance products primarily due to higher claim severity. The following table sets forth the amount of revenue and interest accretion (expense) recognized in net income related to our liability for future policy benefits for the periods indicated:
|  | Three months ended June 30, |  |  | Six months ended June 30, |  |  | Year ended |
