We have taken over administration of a defined benefit plan for which the documents provide 411 actuarial equivalence using the 1983 Individual Annuity Mortality Female Table Projected to 2000 using Scale G.

Does anyone have access to that table, preferably the Lx values? Is it available on the internet anywhere? It doesn't seem to be one of the SOA tables.

Why not ask the prior administrator?

The 83IAM is on the SOA table manager. Table 823 is labeled "basic", while 829 does not say that - I don't know what the difference is or which one your document is trying to use. Typically, pensions do not use the standard individual annuity tables because there are loads included for conservatism for insurance company reserving. The basic table usually does not include these loads.

Scale G is also in the table manager, table 908.

It is pretty easy to project in a spreadsheet.

We have used the lx values from the SOA table manager but have not been able to duplicate the prior administrator's annuity rates.

If you need to see a discussion, see this TSA, article beginning on page 221.

Scale G can be found on page 227.

Thank you. We had already downloaded the table manager several months ago, but could not get the numbers to match.

The SOA has redesigned their website. The new link for the Table Manager is

My DATAIR software can output the q's for that table. I could email it to you.
