Incurred claims related to prior years represent changes in estimates for ultimate losses on workers' compensation claims. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the change was primarily due to a decrease in estimate of ultimate losses related to older plan years and the recognition of current year development of ultimate losses. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $56 million and $57 million, respectively, of collateral held by insurance carriers of which $13 million and $13 million, respectively, was offset against accrued workers' compensation costs as the agreements permit and are net settled against collateral held.
