U.S. life insurance application activity continued to increase in August, but the rate of growth slowed.
MIB’s overall life application activity index was 9.1% higher in August than in August 2019.
The year-over-year increase is much higher than the 3.9% overall year-to-date increase, but it’s down from a 14.1% year-over-year increase for July.

MIB is a Braintree, Massachusetts-based organization that helps life insurers share some of the data used in the underwriting process.
The activity index figures reflect the application verification activity level at MIB’s databases.
MIB breaks its public summary data down into three age categories: ages 44 and younger: ages 45 to 59; and ages 60 and older.
For years, the oldest age group showed the most growth. Application activity for the youngest age group usually shrank.
