The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently published its 2006 United States Life Tables. Effective July 19, 2010, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin referencing the CDC's Table 1: Life table for the total population: United States, 2006, for WCMSA life expectancy calculations. This means that for any newly submitted WCMSA proposal received by CMS' Coordination of Benefits Contractor (COBC), or where any WCMSA case is reopened on or after July 19, 2010, CMS will apply the CDC's 2006 Table 1 for life expectancy calculations. You may access the CDC's United States Life Tables at www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/life_tables.htm, or by accessing the CDC's United States Life Tables in the related links outside of CMS section of this page.
