Hello and thank you for your question.

Not all sources agree, but here are several.

HCFA Medicaid Life Expectancy Tables (Female)
Age 95 3.36 years
http://www.aboutjoints.com/patientinfo/topics/generalinformation/femalelifeexpect.htm

Life Expectancy Tables provided by the IRS (Unisex)
Age 95  4.1 years

Washington OSA (female)
Age 95  3 years

State of Oregon (female)
Age 95  3.36 years

Social Security (female)
Age 95  3.09 years
[Updated November 19, 2004]

That is the wonderful thing about actuarial tables, they always
suggest a nice future, even though, when looking back, they predict
that that you really should be there any more   - on odds.

You can get a lot more accurate if you give the person's years of schooling and
Racial background....Hispanic...Black or White.
