When are ASL reimbursements made?

ASL reimbursements are tied to the annual settlement because they depend on the full, verified claim activity for the year. Claims can have late payments or adjustments that only become known after the annual audit, so issuing reimbursements earlier could misstate the amount. Waiting until year-end ensures the reimbursement reflects actual incurred claims and aligns with the financial close and reporting. Making reimbursements on an ongoing, monthly, or at termination basis would create timing mismatches and complicate reconciliation.
