- The Assurant Employee Benefits unit saw slower disability recovery rates and less favorable life insurance loss experience.

- The reserve discount rate for new long-term disability insurance claims was lower.

- The Assurant Health insurance unit says the minimum medical loss ratio (MLR) provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) are affecting operating results.
