Reinsurance and Policy Benefits and Losses, Claims and Loss Expenses Payable Note 16.   Reinsurance and Policy Benefits and Losses, Claims and Loss Expenses Payable During their normal course of business, our insurance subsidiaries assume and cede reinsurance on both a coinsurance and a risk premium basis. They also obtain reinsurance for that portion of risks exceeding their retention limits. The maximum amount of life insurance retained on any one life is $ 150,000 .       Amount (a) Direct   Other Companies Ceded to   from Other Companies Assumed   Amount (a) Net   Amount Assumed to Net Percentage of       (In thousands)   Year ended December 31, 2021                       Life insurance in force $ 1,029,537 $ 72 $ 328,030 $ 1,357,495   24 % Premiums earned:                       Life $ 56,353 $ 2 $ 4,514 $ 60,865   7 % Accident and health   48,385   160   1,166   49,391   2 % Annuity   444   –   327   771   42 % Property and casualty   89,667   –   –   89,667   – % Total $ 194,849 $ 162 $ 6,007 $ 200,694                               Year ended December 31, 2020                       Life insurance in force $ 1,031,634 $ 73 $ 356,266 $ 1,387,827   26 % Premiums earned:                       Life $ 58,048 $ 1 $ 5,049 $ 63,096   8 % Accident and health   57,081   211   1,388   58,258   2 % Annuity   221   –   34   255   13 % Property and casualty   70,285   –   –   70,285   – % Total $ 185,635 $ 212 $ 6,471 $ 191,894                               Year ended December 31, 2019                       Life insurance in force $ 957,280 $ 7 $ 441,563 $ 1,398,836   32 % Premiums earned:                       Life $ 53,289 $ 1 $ 5,629 $ 58,917   10 % Accident and health   66,863   226   1,563   68,200   2 % Annuity   65   –   794   859   92 % Property and casualty   69,126   –   15   69,141   – % Total $ 189,343 $ 227 $ 8,001 $ 197,117       (a)   Balances are reported net of inter-segment transactions.   Reserves for recognizing a premium deficiency included in future policy benefits are established, if necessary, when the liability for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums are determined to be materially insufficient to provide for expected future policy benefits and expenses. Additionally, in certain instances the policyholder liability for a particular line of business may not be deficient in the aggregate to trigger loss recognition, but the pattern of earnings may be such that profits are expected to be recognized in earlier years followed by losses in later years. In these situations, accounting standards require that an additional liability be recognized by an amount necessary to sufficiently offset the losses that would be recognized in later years. The Company has not recognized any reserves related to premium deficiencies in the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. To the extent that a reinsurer is unable to meet its obligation under the related reinsurance agreements, Repwest would remain liable for the unpaid losses and loss expenses. Pursuant to certain of these agreements, Repwest holds letters of credit as of December 31, 2021 in the amount of $0.1 million from re-insurers.
