RELATES TO:

				342.120,
				342.260(2),

NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
				KRS
				342.260(2) requires the
				executive director to develop or adopt life expectancy tables for use in making
				computations for the apportionment of benefits under
				KRS
				342.120, computation of attorneys' fees under
				KRS
				342.320, and for use in other situations
				arising under KRS Chapter 342 in which the calculation of a life expectancy is
				necessary or desirable, including the computation of assessments or reserves
				for self-insurers. This administrative regulation establishes guidelines for an
				administrative law judge to use in computing attorneys' fees and the
				apportionment of benefits between an employer and the Special Fund and it
				establishes the life expectancy table to be used in those computations.
Section 1. Computation of the Apportionment
			 of Benefits Between the Employer and the Special Fund. If an administrative law
			 judge is required to compute the apportionment of benefits between the employer
			 and the Special Fund pursuant to
			 KRS
			 342.120(3), the portions
			 shall be based on the life expectancies contained in the male or female
			 mortality tables in Appendix A of this administrative regulation. If a claim is
			 reopened, the table in effect on the date of the original opinion, award or
			 order approving the settlement agreement shall continue to be
			 utilized.
Section 2. Computation of
			 Attorneys' Fees. If an attorney's fee is being computed by an administrative
			 law judge pursuant to
			 KRS
			 342.320, the award on which the attorney's
			 fee shall be based shall be as actuarially determined on past and future
			 benefits according to the life expectancies contained in the male or female
			 mortality tables in Appendix A of this administrative regulation.
Section 3. Other Computations. If calculation
			 of a life expectancy is necessary for another purpose, including computation of
			 an assessment or reserve for a self-insured employer, the male or female
			 mortality tables in Appendix A shall be utilized.
