BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Alternative Risk Transfer/Captives Benefits Legislation & Regulation Health Care Benefits Unum Group More + Less -

WASHINGTON—The Labor Department has given tentative authorization to New York-based Deutsche Bank Americas Holding Corp. to use its Vermont captive to reinsure long-term disability benefits.

Under the arrangement, MHL Reinsurance Ltd., which was licensed in Vermont in 2005, would reinsure 100% of the LTD risk with a unit of Unum Group.

The tentative authorization granted last week comes after the Labor Department’s proposed approval of last month of an application by Basking Ridge, N.J.-based Verizon Communications Inc. to use its Vermont captive to reinsure group term life insurance written by Prudential Life Insurance Co.

The Labor Department is expected to give final approval to the Verizon arrangement next month.
