Summary of Activity in Liabilities for Unpaid Loss and Claim Reserved

Activity in the liability for unpaid loss and claim reserves is summarized as follows:

	2021			2020
Balance at January 1	$	79,147		$	81,448
Less: Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses		(17,600	)		(18,339	)
Net balance at January 1		61,547			63,109
Incurred related to:
Current year		134,284			122,626
Prior years		(3,415	)(1)		(3,480	)(2)
Total incurred		130,869			119,146
Paid related to:
Current year		89,838			84,518
Prior years		34,648			36,190
Total paid		124,486			120,708
Net balance at December 31		67,930			61,547
Plus: Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses		17,690			17,600
Balance at December 31	$	85,620		$	79,147

(1) Prior years’ development was primarily the result of better than expected development on prior years loss and claim reserves for certain lines of business in American Southern, somewhat offset by unfavorable development on prior years’ loss and claim reserves for the Medicare Supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity.

(2) Prior years’ development was primarily the result of favorable development in the loss and claim reserves for the Medicare supplement line of business in Bankers Fidelity.  Rate increases on existing business and the resultant improvement in rate adequacy was more favorable than expected.  Additionally, the Company experienced favorable development in the surety line of business in American Southern due to a reduction in exposure coupled with recoveries on certain prior year losses.

Following is a reconciliation of total incurred losses to total insurance benefits and losses incurred:
