Each year I use an actuary to set my workers compensation reserves for claims which have been incurred from 1993-the current year. This year the actuary added $300k for IBNR on claims that were incurred from 1993-2003. The carrier has the outstanding balances on these old accounts at $100k. Should IBNR be reserved for on old claims especially if you have not seen any change in the older claims?
