After more than a decade of limited coverage, limited access, and limited usefulness, the Limited Access Death Master File (LADMF) has passed quietly from relevance. Join The Berwyn Group as we pay our final respects — and introduce its successor. Born of the Section 203 reforms of 2013, the LADMF spent its final years covering just 16% of U.S. deaths, leaving insurers, pension administrators, healthcare systems and plans, and researchers wondering about the 8 in 10 Americans who died outside its coverage.
In this session, we’ll cover what that 84% gap actually costs — in overpayments, undetected claims, and compliance exposure — and how the BerwynDMF closes it: more than 70% weekly U.S. death coverage, delivered in the identical LADMF file format, with no federal certification process, no lengthy application, and no annual recertification. Services conclude with live Q&A.
Registrants receive the recording and the official memorial program.

August 20, 2026 in Baton Rouge, LA
Experts from actuarial, legal, and policy fields will examine the pressures facing plans today, the regulatory landscape, and what these liabilities mean for the future of retirement systems.
This webinar brought together industry leaders to discuss strategies for navigating today’s pension risk transfer (PRT) landscape. Our expert panel shared insights on current regulatory frameworks, the role of data integrity in successful transactions, and market opportunities to achieve long-term pension security.
Keeping up with the numerous recommendations, regulations, and guidelines can be challenging for any fiduciary. Hear industry leaders discuss the most crucial topics and provide clear insights on the expectations and regulations surrounding them.
Unreported deaths are increasing. The decline of the Death Master File and the rise of disparate data sources have made it more challenging than ever for pension plans to identify decedents and locate missing participants/beneficiaries. But inaccurate data can lead to costly overpayments that could threaten the longevity of the fund. Industry experts will explain best practices for preventing overpayments, partnering with your beneficiaries when an overpayment is made, what the regulations and SECURE 2.0 require, and the rights of the pensioner.
