Incurred claims related to prior years represent changes in estimates for ultimate losses on workers' compensation claims. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the favorable development was primarily due to lower than expected severity of reported claims associated with office and non-office worker WSEs in recent accident years. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $61 million and $63 million, respectively, of collateral held by insurance carriers of which $21 million and $23 million, respectively, was offset against workers' compensation loss reserves as the agreements permit and are net settled of insurance obligations against collateral held. Collateral paid to each carrier for a policy year in excess of our loss reserves is recorded as workers' compensation collateral receivable.
