Public Policy
Through the American Academy of Actuaries, actuaries in all disciplines provide independent, objective analysis that helps lawmakers and regulators formulate sound public policy and enact fiscally responsible legislation. Academy members use their actuarial expertise to contribute to the public debate on major issues, which range from Social Security and Medicare solvency to terrorism insurance.
