The component assumptions of long-run medical cost increases are unchanged from last year.

"Excess mortality for Americans aged 65 or older dropped from more than 20% at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic to only 1.3% in the past year -- according to a new analysis from the Society of Actuaries Research Institute.... Spikes in mortality persisted through early 2022, driving up the overall average excess mortality for the year, the analysis said. However, since that time, U.S. population mortality rates have returned to levels more consistent with 2019, and have exhibited the seasonal pattern usually seen in the U.S."

33 pages. "The worst-case mortality scenario in the perturbation analysis corresponds to an improved mortality trajectory, implying that a retiree's aversion against mortality uncertainty is translated into the fear of longevity risk in retirement planning.... Even under the presence of mortality model uncertainty, annuitization can still induce a noticeable increment in utility. The optimal annuity payout pathway increases over time as mortality rate grows and more uncertainty about the future is resolved during the later stage of retirement."
