Article discussed the Academy's letter to Congress that included an actuarial analysis of the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS Act) along with recommendations on improving this long-term care program provision.

Tom Campbell, the vice president of the Academy's Life Practice Council, was quoted after proposed revisions to the Standard Valuation Law were approved by two bodies of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Campbell encouraged "the NAIC to adopt the proposed revisions without delay to establish greater uniformity of life insurance reserve requirements across states."

An analysis of the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act (CLASS Act) performed by a joint work group of the Academy's Federal Long-Term Care Task Force and the SOA's Long-Term Care Insurance Section Council was cited. The actuaries said the CLASS Act would require premiums that may exceed affordable levels for many people.
