DOCUMENT 1

Scope “_..the participant mortality figures from jan [sic] 2020 to today’s date and the comparative data from jan [sic] 2018 to September 17, 2019.”

Response

NOTE: April 2020 is higher than other months because the NDIA received additional information on participants who had died earlier — the higher rate of mortality in April 2020 was therefore not due to a lot more participants dying that month.
