Below are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions. If we still haven't answered your question, please feel free to contact us.
How do I post an open job listing?
Please visit the CAS Career Center to post a job listing, create an account as either an employer or job candidate or search current job/internship openings. The Career Center is supported by an outside vendor, Naylor who can offer assistance as needed, call at 1-888-491-8833 Monday through Friday, 8:30 am EDT to 5:30 PM EDT.
One worthwhile project would be to have the CAS Bibliographies available online.
Through the database, users can access and search the citations contained in the Browse Research.
The Browse Research section can be searched in a number of ways. In addition to searches on standard fields for bibliographical citations (e.g., author's name(s), title, publication name, publisher, and year) users can search for papers on any subject by entering a word or phrase related to the subject. The abstract field in the database will be scanned for a match to the word or phrase entered.
PASSWORD PROTECTED ACCESS
I am unable to log in to the website, and I can not use the "Forgot your password" link. I think that may be because the e-mail attached to my record is the e-mail from my former employer.
Please contact the CAS Office to update your e-mail address. You will then be able to reset your password.
New Login Information
The Casualty Actuarial Society has transitioned to a new web-based membership database that will affect how you access My Profile and other password-protected sections of the CAS website.
Chat Rooms
Discussion Forums are now available within each community in the CAS Online communities. To access exam related discussion areas, please visit each exam page. Users will need a CAS login and password to access the discussion forums.
Email Lists
All e-mail Lists are now available within the CAS Online community for committees and discussion groups to which users are associated.

Members are encouraged to review the complete CAS Continuing Education Policy for all of the details on the CE requirements.
I am taking the CPCU exams. What is the amount of CE credit you can obtain for studying or passing these exams?
Members should assess whether or not taking the CPCU exam is an activity that is job-relevant. According to the policy, “education is considered job-relevant if (1) it broadens or deepens an actuary’s understanding of one or more aspects of the work an actuary does; (2) the material expands an actuary’s knowledge of practice in related disciplines that may bear directly on an actuary’s work; or (3) it facilitates an actuary’s entry into a new area of actuarial practice.”
The amount of CE credit that can be earned for participating in any activity must be assessed by the individual. Ultimately, each member will be responsible for determining the CE activities that are relevant to his or her development and the appropriate balance of technical and nontechnical topics. The member cannot rely on statements from the presenters or the sponsoring organization (including guidelines published by the CAS) regarding the relevancy or credit eligibility of a session. Members should always be guided by Precept 2 of the CAS Code of Professional Conduct and only provide actuarial services when “qualified to do so.”
Library
I have old copies of CAS publications (Forums, Proceedings, yearbooks, old textbooks, etc) I do not need anymore. Where can I donate them?
Contact local university libraries. In particular, those with actuarial programs may be interested in carrying our publications. If not, you can donate them to a local public library or recycle them.
Regional Affiliates
More CAS Regional Affiliates should be on the Calendar of Events.
The Calendar of Events strives to include all activities of the CAS. Please feel free to provide suggestions for inclusion via the Contact Us form.
I am a new Officer for a Regional Affiliate. To whom do I send updates and meeting materials?
Regional Affiliates questions, updates for officers, presentations, and all other meeting materials and information for posting to the website should be sent to affiliates@casact.org
