- Atlas Commons computes PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY's employer-plan loss ratio as 0.0% (total welfare claims paid / total welfare premiums received × 100) across all DOL Form 5500 Schedule A records.

What this is — and isn't
All plan counts, person totals, and dollar amounts are AGGREGATED — Atlas Commons sums of DOL Form 5500 Schedule A published figures. The loss ratio is an Atlas Commons computation; DOL does not publish a per-carrier loss ratio. Many Schedule A records have blank premium/claims amounts, so dollar totals reflect only records with non-blank values.
