Item 5.  Other Events

On January 24, 2000, the Registrant issued a press release announcing it
has received releases from liability relating to the Unicover matter from
the Unicover retrocessionaires and pool and facility members.  The releases
were obtained in connection with a global resolution involving Reliance Group
Holdings, Inc., its retrocessionaires and a group of ceding companies and
brokers.   Delphi contributed to this process by agreeing to rescind a quota
share reinsurance contract with Reliance Insurance Company.  Accordingly,
Delphi has restated its financial results to exclude the effects of this
contract.  A copy of such press release, including restated consolidated
statements of income for the first three quarters of 1999, is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference
herein.

         DELPHI RELEASED FROM UNICOVER LIABILITY

Wilmington, Delaware -- January 24, 2000 -- Delphi Financial Group, Inc.
(NYSE: DFG) announced today that it has received releases from liability
relating to the Unicover matter from the Unicover retrocessionaires
and pool and facility members. The releases were obtained in connection
with a global resolution involving Reliance Group Holdings, Inc., its
retrocessionaires and a group of ceding companies and brokers. Delphi
contributed to this process by agreeing to rescind a quota share
reinsurance contract with Reliance Insurance Company. Accordingly, Delphi has
restated its financial results to exclude the effects of this contract which
had contributed five to seven cents per share to earnings in each of the
first three quarters of 1999. Delphi expects that a similar earnings
contribution will be excluded from net income for the fourth quarter of 1999.

Robert Rosenkranz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Delphi, said: "We
believe that Delphi's shares are extremely undervalued due to continuing
investor skittishness over perceived Unicover exposure. Although we had no
legal liability, it seemed wise to us to participate in a global resolution
that should put these investor concerns firmly and definitively to rest."

Delphi Financial Group, Inc. is an integrated employee benefit services
company. We are a leader in managing all aspects of employee absence to
enhance the productivity of our clients and we provide the related insurance
coverages: short-term and long-term disability, primary and excess workers'
compensation, group life, and travel accident. Our asset accumulation
business emphasizes individual annuity products. Our common stock is listed
on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DFG and our corporate website
address is www.delphifin.com.

In connection with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
Delphi cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the
foregoing discussion and in any other statement made by, or on behalf of,
Delphi, whether in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on
historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies,
financial results or other developments. Some forward-looking statements may
be identified by the use of terms such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "intends" or "judgment."  Forward-looking statements are
necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject
to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond Delphi's control and many of which,
with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. Examples of
such uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors,
those affecting the insurance industry generally, such as the economic and
interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory developments and market
pricing and competitive trends relating to insurance products and services,
and those relating specifically to Delphi's business, such as the level of
its insurance premiums and fee income, the claims experience and other
factors affecting the profitability of its insurance products, the
performance of its investment portfolio, the successful completion of its
Year 2000 compliance program, acquisitions of companies or blocks of
business, and ratings by major rating organizations of its insurance
subsidiaries. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Delphi. Delphi
disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking information.
