Actuarial Firm Announces Collateral Survey

Brokers, Risk Management Professionals Invited to Share Experience and
Opinions

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- As fallout from the credit crisis
continues, a Nashville-area actuarial firm is conducting a survey of
professionals currently involved in collateral issues related to self-funded
workers compensation liabilities.

SIGMA Actuarial Consulting Group invites insurance brokers, risk management
consultants, and risk management staff of self-funded concerns to participate
in the survey, which will be open through the month of October.

The goal of the survey is to assess, on a national basis, trends in collateral
negotiations, exposures, reviews, arbitration, litigation, and other factors
that SIGMA has seen with its own clients this year. SIGMA's Michelle Bradley
reported on these trends in the WorkCompEdge blog article "A 2009 Collateral
Perspective" Bradley is also the co-author, with SIGMA's Lloyd Kelley, of two
other papers on collateral published by IRMI.

The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete and is available at
