2014 PPA Mortality Tables?


Recommended Posts

You can make a reasonable projection of mortality improvements as was used in constructing the 2009-2013 tables.

But it is an academic exercise, bacause the IRS has not published the official table yet. I don't know what mortality trends have changed with sufficient detail to predict their intent.

If you are serious about the question, contact ASPPA, SOA and AAA to get the IRS to discuss it.

I guess that's why i couldn't find it, but our software provider has loaded the 2014 tables. Guess i'll have to ask them where they got the tables. Thanks for the response.

FWIW, look for the SOA to come out with a "BB" projection scale to replace the current "AA" table before the 2014 tables are released. Apparently mortality improvement has been better anticipated and therefore they are creating a new projection scale.

BenefitsLink published the link to the new BB projection table. Interesting reading, and the potential for a generational type of mortality improvement table with 2-dimensional methodology.

Also interesting to note the recent experience for the 40-50 age group with flat or declining mortality improvements. This corresponds with children born in the 60's.

However, it reinforces the original problem: we must wait for the IRS to determine the 2014 and later tables.

Since there is no 2014 table yet, perhaps you are willing to share what answer you received from your software provider. Inquiring minds want to know.

Teh information that was provided to me was not accurate, the software provider did not have the 2014 tables, we used the 2013 tables for the time being. Sorry.
