477-000-039 – Life Expectancy Tables

From Social Security’s Online Actuarial Publications “Period of Life Table.” A period life table is based on the mortality experience of a population during a relatively short period of time. Here we present the 2013 period of life table for the Social Security area population. For this table the period life expectancy at a given age represents the average number of years of life remaining if a group of persons at that age were to experience the mortality rates for 2013 over the course of their remaining life.
