    The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at each reporting period and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation.

    The number of securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2020 totaled 41, compared with 97 at December 31, 2019. All temporarily impaired securities were investment grade at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
