15default.
16    (iv) That, if the policy shall have become paid-up by
17completion of all premium payments or if it is continued under
18any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit which became effective on or
19after the third policy anniversary in the case of Ordinary

3calculating cash surrender values and the paid-up
4nonforfeiture benefits available under the policy. In the case
5of all other policies, a statement of the mortality table and
6interest rate used in calculating the cash surrender values and
7the paid-up nonforfeiture benefits available under the policy,

10policy on each policy anniversary either during the first 20
11policy years or during the term of the policy, whichever is
12shorter, such values and benefits to be calculated upon the
13assumption that there are no dividends or paid-up additions
14credited to the policy and that there is no indebtedness to the
15company on the policy.

17paid-up nonforfeiture benefits available under the policy are
18not less than the minimum values and benefits required by or
19pursuant to the insurance law of the state in which the policy
20is delivered; an explanation of the manner in which the cash
21surrender values and the paid-up nonforfeiture benefits are
22altered by the existence of any paid-up additions credited to
23the policy or any indebtedness to the company on the policy; if
24a detailed statement of the method of computation of the values
25and benefits shown in the policy is not stated therein, a
26statement that such method of computation has been filed with

7    Any of the foregoing provisions or portions thereof not
8applicable by reason of the plan of insurance may, to the
9extent inapplicable, be omitted from the policy.
10    The company shall reserve the right to defer the payment of
11any cash surrender value for a period of 6 months after demand

14in the event of default in a premium payment due on any policy
15anniversary, whether or not required by subsection (1), shall
16be an amount not less than the excess, if any, of the present
17value, on such anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits
18which would have been provided for by the policy, including any
19existing paid-up additions, if there had been no default, over
20the sum of (i) the then present value of the adjusted premiums
21as defined in subsections 4, 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c), corresponding
22to premiums which would have fallen due on and after such
23anniversary, and (ii) the amount of any indebtedness to the
24company on the policy.
25    (ii) For any policy issued on or after the operative date

SB2764- 5 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1or annuity benefits at the option of the insured for an
2identifiable additional premium by rider or supplemental
3policy provision, the cash surrender value shall be an amount
4not less than the sum of the cash surrender value as determined
5in paragraph (i) for an otherwise similar policy issued at the
6same age without such rider or supplemental policy provision
7and the cash surrender value as determined in such paragraph

9provided by such rider or supplemental policy provision.
10    (iii) For any family policy issued on or after the
11operative date of subsection 4(c), which defines a primary
12insured and provides term insurance on the life of the spouse
13of the primary insured expiring before the spouse attains age
1471, the cash surrender value shall be an amount not less than
15the sum of the cash surrender value as determined in paragraph
16(i) for an otherwise similar policy issued at the same age
17without such term insurance on the life of the spouse and the
18cash surrender value as determined in such paragraph for a
19policy which provides only the benefits otherwise provided by
20such term insurance on the life of the spouse.
21    (iv) Any cash surrender value available within 30 days

25required by subsection (1), shall be an amount not less than
26the present value, on such anniversary, of the future

 

 

SB2764- 6 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1guaranteed benefits provided for by the policy, including any
2existing paid-up additions, decreased by any indebtedness to
3the company on the policy.
4    (3) Any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available under the
5policy in the event of default in a premium payment due on any
6policy anniversary shall be such that its present value as of
7such anniversary shall be at least equal to the cash surrender
8value then provided for by the policy, or if none is provided
9for, that cash surrender value which would have been required
10by this section in the absence of the condition that premiums
11shall have been paid for at least a specified period.
12    (4) This subsection (4) shall not apply to policies issued
13on or after the operative date of subsection (4c). Except as
14provided in the third paragraph of this subsection, the
15adjusted premiums for any policy shall be calculated on an
16annual basis and shall be such uniform percentage of the
17respective premium specified in the policy for each policy
18year, excluding any extra premiums charged because of
19impairments or special hazards, that the present value, at the
20date of issue of the policy, of all such adjusted premiums
21shall be equal to the sum of (i) the then present value of the
22future guaranteed benefits provided for by the policy; (ii) 2%
23of the amount of insurance, if the insurance be uniform in
24amount, or of the equivalent uniform amount, as hereinafter
25defined, if the amount of insurance varies with duration of the
26policy; (iii) 40% of the adjusted premium for the first policy

 

 

SB2764- 7 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1year; (iv) 25% of either the adjusted premium for the first
2policy year or the adjusted premium for a whole life policy of
3the same uniform or equivalent uniform amount with uniform
4premiums for the whole of life issued at the same age for the
5same amount of insurance, whichever is less. Provided, however,
6that in applying the percentages specified in (iii) and (iv)
7above, no adjusted premium shall be deemed to exceed 4% of the
8amount of insurance or uniform amount equivalent thereto. The
9date of issue of a policy for the purpose of this subsection
10shall be the date as of which the rated age of the insured is
11determined.
12    In the case of a policy providing an amount of insurance
13varying with duration of the policy, the equivalent uniform
14amount thereof for the purpose of this subsection shall be
15deemed to be the level amount of insurance, provided by an
16otherwise similar policy, containing the same endowment
17benefit or benefits, if any, issued at the same age and for the
18same term, the amount of which does not vary with duration and
19the benefits under which have the same present value at the
20inception of the insurance as the benefits under the policy;
21provided, however, that in the case of a policy providing a
22varying amount of insurance issued on the life of a child under
23age 10, the equivalent uniform amount may be computed as though
24the amount of insurance provided by the policy prior to the
25attainment of age 10 were the amount provided by such policy at
26age 10.

 

 

SB2764- 8 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1    The adjusted premiums for any policy providing term
2insurance benefits by rider or supplemental policy provision
3shall be equal to (a) the adjusted premiums for an otherwise
4similar policy issued at the same age without such term
5insurance benefits, increased, during the period for which
6premiums for such term insurance benefits are payable, by (b)
7the adjusted premiums for such term insurance, the foregoing
8items (a) and (b) being calculated separately and as specified
9in the first 2 paragraphs of this subsection except that, for
10the purposes of (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the first such
11paragraph, the amount of insurance or equivalent uniform amount
12of insurance used in the calculation of the adjusted premiums
13referred to in (b) shall be equal to the excess of the
14corresponding amount determined for the entire policy over the
15amount used in the calculation of the adjusted premiums in (a).
16    Except as otherwise provided in subsections (4a) and (4b),
17all adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this
18section shall for all policies of Ordinary insurance be
19calculated on the basis of the Commissioners 1941 Standard
20Ordinary Mortality Table, provided that for any category of
21Ordinary insurance issued on female risks adjusted premiums and
22present values may be calculated according to an age not more
23than 3 years younger than the actual age of the insured, and
24such calculations for all policies of Industrial insurance
25shall be made on the basis of the 1941 Standard Industrial
26Mortality Table. All calculations shall be made on the basis of

 

 

SB2764- 9 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1the rate of interest, not exceeding 3 1/2% per annum, specified
2in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up
3nonforfeiture benefits. Provided, however, that in calculating
4the present value of any paid-up term insurance with
5accompanying pure endowment, if any, offered as a nonforfeiture
6benefit, the rates of mortality assumed may be not more than
7130% of the rates of mortality according to such applicable
8table. Provided, further, that for insurance issued on a
9substandard basis, the calculation of any such adjusted
10premiums and present values may be based on such other table of
11mortality as may be specified by the company and approved by
12the Director.
13    (4a) This subsection (4a) shall not apply to Ordinary
14policies issued on or after the operative date of subsection
15(4c). In the case of Ordinary policies issued on or after the
16operative date of this subsection (4a) as defined herein, all
17adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this
18Section shall be calculated on the basis of the Commissioners
191958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and the rate of interest
20specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values
21and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that such rate of
22interest shall not exceed 3 1/2% per annum except that a rate
23of interest not exceeding 5 1/2% per annum may be used for
24policies issued on or after September 8, 1977, except that for
25any single premium whole life or endowment insurance policy a
26rate of interest not exceeding 6 1/2% per annum may be used and

 

 

SB2764- 10 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1provided that for any category of Ordinary insurance issued on
2female risks, adjusted premiums and present values may be
3calculated according to an age not more than 6 years younger
4than the actual age of the insured. Provided, however, that in
5calculating the present value of any paid-up term insurance
6with accompanying pure endowment, if any, offered as a
7nonforfeiture benefit, the rates of mortality assumed may be
8not more than those shown in the Commissioners 1958 Extended
9Term Insurance Table. Provided, however, that for insurance
10issued on a substandard basis, the calculation for any such
11adjusted premiums and present values may be based on such other
12table of mortality as may be specified by the company and
13approved by the Director. After the effective date of this
14subsection (4a), any company may file with the Director written
15notice of its election to comply with the provisions of this
16subsection after a specified date before January 1, 1966. After
17the filing of such notice, then upon such specified date (which
18shall be the operative date of this subsection for such
19company), this subsection shall become operative with respect
20to the Ordinary policies thereafter issued by such company. If
21a company makes no such election, the operative date of this
22subsection for such company shall be January 1, 1966.
23    (4b) This subsection (4b) shall not apply to Industrial
24policies issued on or after the operative date of subsection
25(4c). In the case of Industrial policies issued on or after the
26operative date of this subsection (4b) as defined herein, all

 

 

SB2764- 11 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this
2Section shall be calculated on the basis of the Commissioners
31961 Standard Industrial Mortality Table and the rate of
4interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender
5values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that such
6rate of interest shall not exceed 3 1/2% per annum except that
7a rate of interest not exceeding 5 1/2% per annum may be used
8for policies issued on or after September 8, 1977, except that
9for any single premium whole life or endowment insurance policy
10a rate of interest not exceeding 6 1/2% per annum may be used.
11Provided, however, that in calculating the present value of any
12paid-up term insurance with accompanying pure endowment, if
13any, offered as a nonforfeiture benefit, the rates of mortality
14assumed may be not more than those shown in the Commissioners
151961 Industrial Extended Term Insurance Table. Provided,
16further, that for insurance issued on a substandard basis, the
17calculations of any such adjusted premiums and present values
18may be based on such other table of mortality as may be
19specified by the company and approved by the Director. After
20the effective date of this subsection (4b), any company may
21file with the Director a written notice of its election to
22comply with the provisions of this subsection after a specified
23date before January 1, 1968. After the filing of such notice,
24then upon such specified date (which shall be the operative
25date of this subsection for such company), this subsection
26shall become operative with respect to the Industrial policies

 

 

SB2764- 12 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1thereafter issued by such company. If a company makes no such
2election, the operative date of this subsection for such
3company shall be January 1, 1968.
4    (4c)(a) This subsection shall apply to all policies issued
5on or after its operative date. Except as provided in paragraph
6(g), the adjusted premiums for any policy shall be calculated
7on an annual basis and shall be such uniform percentage of the
8respective premiums specified in the policy for each policy
9year, excluding amounts payable as extra premiums to cover
10impairments or special hazards and any uniform annual contract
11charge or policy fee specified in the policy in a statement of
12the method to be used in calculating the cash surrender value
13and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits of the policy, that the
14present value, at the date of issue of the policy, of all
15adjusted premiums shall be equal to the sum of (i) the then
16present value of the future guaranteed benefits provided for by
17the policy; (ii) 1% of either the amount of insurance, if the
18insurance is uniform in amount, or the average amount of
19insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy
20years; and (iii) 125% of the nonforfeiture net level premium as
21hereinafter defined. In applying the percentage specified in
22(iii), however, no nonforfeiture net level premium shall exceed
234% of either the amount of insurance, if the insurance is
24uniform in amount, or the average amount of insurance at the
25beginning of each of the first 10 policy years. The date of
26issue of a policy for the purpose of this subsection is the

 

 

SB2764- 13 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1date as of which the rated age of the insured is determined.
2    (b) The nonforfeiture net level premium equals the present
3value, at the date of issue of the policy, of the guaranteed
4benefits provided for by the policy divided by the present
5value, at the date of issue of the policy, of an annuity of one
6per annum payable on the date of issue of the policy and on
7each anniversary of such policy on which a premium falls due.
8    (c) In the case of a policy which causes, on a basis
9guaranteed in such policy, unscheduled changes in benefits or
10premiums, or which provides an option for changes in benefits
11or premiums other than a change to a new policy, adjusted
12premiums and present values shall initially be calculated on
13the assumption that future benefits and premiums do not change
14from those stipulated at the date of issue of such policy. At
15the time of any such change in the benefits or premiums, the
16future adjusted premiums, nonforfeiture net level premiums and
17present values shall be recalculated on the assumption that
18future benefits and premiums do not change from those
19stipulated by such policy immediately after the change.
20    (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (g), the
21recalculated future adjusted premiums for any policy shall be
22such uniform percentage of the respective future premiums
23specified in the policy for each policy year, excluding amounts
24payable as extra premiums to cover impairments and special
25hazards and any uniform annual contract charge or policy fee
26specified in the policy in a statement of the method to be used

 

 

SB2764- 14 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1in calculating the cash surrender values and paid-up
2nonforfeiture benefits, that the present value, at the time of
3change to the newly defined benefits or premiums, of all such
4future adjusted premiums shall be equal to the excess of (A)
5the sum of (i) the then present value of the then future
6guaranteed benefits provided for by the policy and (ii) the
7additional expense allowance, if any, over (B) the then cash
8surrender value, if any, or present value of any paid-up
9nonforfeiture benefit under the policy.
10    (e) The additional expense allowance at the time of the
11change to the newly defined benefits or premiums shall be the
12sum of (i) 1% of the excess, if positive, of the average amount
13of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy
14years subsequent to the change over the average amount of
15insurance prior to the change at the beginning of each of the
16first 10 policy years subsequent to the time of the most recent
17previous change, or, if there has been no previous change, the
18date of issue of the policy; and (ii) 125% of the increase, if
19positive, in the nonforfeiture net level premium.
20    (f) The recalculated nonforfeiture net level premium
21equals the result obtained by dividing X by Y, where
22    (i) X equals the sum of
23    (A) the nonforfeiture net level premium applicable prior to
24the change times the present value of an annuity of one per
25annum payable on each anniversary of the policy on or
26subsequent to the date of the change on which a premium would

 

 

SB2764- 15 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1have fallen due had the change not occurred, and
2    (B) the present value of the increase in future guaranteed
3benefits provided for by the policy; and
4    (ii) Y equals the present value of an annuity of one per
5annum payable on each anniversary of the policy on or
6subsequent to the date of change on which a premium falls due.
7    (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
8subsection to the contrary, in the case of a policy issued on a
9substandard basis which provides reduced graded amounts of
10insurance so that, in each policy year, such policy has the
11same tabular mortality cost as an otherwise similar policy
12issued on the standard basis which provides higher uniform
13amounts of insurance, adjusted premiums and present values for
14such substandard policy may be calculated as if it were issued
15to provide such higher uniform amounts of insurance on the
16standard basis.
17    (h) All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in
18this Section shall for all policies of ordinary insurance be
19calculated on the basis of the Commissioners 1980 Standard
20Ordinary Mortality Table or, at the election of the company for
21any one or more specified plans of life insurance, the
22Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table with
23Ten-Year Select Mortality Factors. All adjusted premiums and
24present values referred to in this Section shall for all
25policies of Industrial insurance be calculated on the basis of
26the Commissioners 1961 Standard Industrial Mortality Table.

 

 

SB2764- 16 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this
2Section for all policies issued in a particular calendar year
3shall be calculated on the basis of a rate of interest not
4exceeding the nonforfeiture interest rate as defined in this
5subsection for policies issued in that calendar year. The
6provisions of this paragraph are subject to the provisions set
7forth in subparagraphs (i) through (vii).
8    (i) At the option of the company, calculations for all
9policies issued in a particular calendar year may be made on
10the basis of a rate of interest not exceeding the nonforfeiture
11interest rate, as defined in this subsection, for policies
12issued in the immediately preceding calendar year.
13    (ii) Under any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, including
14any paid-up dividend additions, any cash surrender value
15available, whether or not required by subsection (1), shall be
16calculated on the basis of the mortality table and rate of
17interest used in determining the amount of such paid-up
18nonforfeiture benefit and paid-up dividend additions, if any.
19    (iii) A company may calculate the amount of any guaranteed
20paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, including any paid-up additions
21under the policy, on the basis of an interest rate no lower
22than that specified in the policy for calculating cash
23surrender values.
24    (iv) In calculating the present value of any paid-up term
25insurance with an accompanying pure endowment, if any, offered
26as a nonforfeiture benefit, the rates of mortality assumed may

 

 

SB2764- 17 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1be not more than those shown in the Commissioners 1980 Extended
2Term Insurance Table for policies of ordinary insurance and not
3more than the Commissioner 1961 Industrial Extended Term
4Insurance Table for policies of industrial insurance.
5    (v) For insurance issued on a substandard basis, the
6calculation of any such adjusted premiums and present values
7may be based on appropriated modifications of the
8aforementioned tables.
9    (vi) Any ordinary mortality tables adopted after 1980 by
10the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and
11approved by regulations promulgated by the Director for use in
12determining the minimum nonforfeiture standard may be
13substituted for the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary
14Mortality Table with or without Ten-Year Select Mortality
15Factors or for the Commissioners 1980 Extended Term Insurance
16Table.
17    (vii) Any industrial mortality tables adopted after 1980 by
18the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and
19approved by regulations promulgated by the Director for use in
20determining the minimum nonforfeiture standard may be
21substituted for the Commissioners 1961 Standard Industrial
22Mortality Table or the Commissioners 1961 Industrial Extended
23Term Insurance Table.
24    (i) The nonforfeiture interest rate per annum for any
25policy issued in a particular calendar year shall be equal to
26125% of the calendar year statutory valuation interest rate for

 

 

SB2764- 18 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1such policy, as defined in the Standard Valuation Law, rounded
2to the nearest .25%.
3    (j) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Code to the
4contrary, any refiling of nonforfeiture values or their methods
5of computation for any previously approved policy form which

8of any other provisions of that policy form.
9    (k) After the effective date of this subsection, any
10company may, with respect to any category of insurance, file
11with the Director a written notice of its election to comply
12with the provisions of this subsection after a specified date
13before January 1, 1989. That date shall be the operative date
14of this subsection for that category of insurance for such
15company. If a company makes no such election, the operative
16date of this subsection for that category of insurance issued
17by such company shall be January 1, 1989.
18    (5) In the case of any plan of life insurance which
19provides for future premium determination, the amounts of which
20are to be determined by the insurance company based on then
21estimates of future experience, or in the case of any plan of
22life insurance which is of such a nature that minimum values
23cannot be determined by the methods described in subsections
24(1), (2), (3), (4), (4a), (4b) or (4c), then
25    (a) the Director shall satisfy himself that the benefits
26provided under such plan are substantially as favorable to

 

 

SB2764- 19 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1policyholders and insured parties as the minimum benefits
2otherwise required by subsections (1), (2), (3), (4), (4a),
3(4b) or (4c);
4    (b) the Director shall satisfy himself that the benefits
5and the pattern of premiums of that plan are not such as to
6mislead prospective policyholders or insured parties; and
7    (c) the cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture
8benefits provided by such plan shall not be less than the
9minimum values and benefits computed by a method consistent
10with the principles of this Standard Nonforfeiture law for Life
11Insurance, as determined by regulations promulgated by the
12Director.
13    (6) Any cash surrender value and any paid-up nonforfeiture
14benefit, available under the policy in the event of default in
15a premium payment due at any time other than on the policy
16anniversary, shall be calculated with allowance for the lapse
17of time and the payment of fractional premiums beyond the last
18preceding policy anniversary. All values referred to in
19subsections (2), (3), (4), (4a), (4b) and (4c) may be
20calculated upon the assumption that any death benefit is
21payable at the end of the policy year of death. The net value
22of any paid-up additions, other than paid-up term additions,
23shall be not less than the amounts used to provide such
24additions. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2),
25additional benefits payable (i) in the event of death or
26dismemberment by accident or accidental means, (ii) in the

 

 

SB2764- 20 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1event of total and permanent disability, (iii) as reversionary
2annuity or deferred reversionary annuity benefits, (iv) as term
3insurance benefits provided by a rider or supplemental policy
4provision to which, if issued as a separate policy, this
5section would not apply, (v) as term insurance on the life of a
6child or on the lives of children provided in a policy on the
7life of a parent of the child, if such term insurance expires
8before the child's age is 26, is uniform in amount after the
9child's age is one, and has not become paid-up by reason of the
10death of a parent of the child, and (vi) as other policy
11benefits additional to life insurance and endowment benefits,
12and premiums for all such additional benefits, shall be
13disregarded in ascertaining cash surrender values and
14nonforfeiture benefits required by this section, and no such
15additional benefits shall be required to be included in any
16paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.
17    (7) This subsection shall apply to all policies issued on
18or after January 1, 1987. Any cash surrender value available
19under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment
20due on any policy anniversary shall be in an amount which does
21not differ by more than .2% of either the amount of insurance
22if the insurance is uniform in amount, or the average amount of
23insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy
24years, from the sum of (a) the greater of zero and the basic
25cash value hereinafter specified and (b) the present value of
26any existing paid-up additions less the amount of any

 

 

SB2764- 21 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1indebtedness to the company under the policy.
2    The basic cash value equals the present value, on such
3anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits which would have
4been provided for by the policy, excluding any existing paid-up
5additions and before deduction of any indebtedness to the
6company, if there had been no default, less the then present
7value of the nonforfeiture factors, as hereinafter defined,
8corresponding to premiums which would have fallen due on and
9after such anniversary. The effects on the basic cash value of
10supplemental life insurance or annuity benefits or of family
11coverage, as described in subsection (2) or (4), whichever is
12applicable, shall, however, be the same as are the effects
13specified in subsection (2) or (4), whichever is applicable, on
14the cash surrender values defined in that subsection.
15    The nonforfeiture factor for each policy year equals a
16percentage of the adjusted premium for the policy year, as
17defined in subsection (4) or (4c), whichever is applicable.
18Except as is required by the next succeeding sentence of this
19paragraph, such percentage
20    (a) shall be the same percentage for each policy year
21between the second policy anniversary and the later of (i) the
22fifth policy anniversary and (ii) the first policy anniversary
23at which there is available under the policy a cash surrender
24value in an amount, before including any paid-up additions and
25before deducting any indebtedness, of at least .2% of either
26the amount of insurance, if the insurance is uniform in amount,

 

 

SB2764- 22 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1or the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of
2the first 10 policy years; and
3    (b) shall be such that no percentage after the later of the
42 policy anniversaries specified in the preceding item (a) may
5apply to fewer than 5 consecutive policy years.
6    No basic cash value may be less than the value which would
7be obtained if the adjusted premiums for the policy, as defined
8in subsection (4) or (4c), whichever is applicable, were
9substituted for the nonforfeiture factors in the calculation of
10the basic cash value.
11    All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in
12this subsection shall for a particular policy be calculated on
13the same mortality and interest bases as those used in
14accordance with the other subsections of this law. The cash
15surrender values referred to in this subsection shall include
16any endowment benefits provided for by the policy.
17    Any cash surrender value available other than in the event
18of default in a premium payment due on a policy anniversary,
19and the amount of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available
20under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment
21shall be determined in manners consistent with the manners
22specified for determining the analogous minimum amounts in
23subsections 1, 2, 3, 4c, and 6. The amounts of any cash
24surrender values and of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits
25granted in connection with additional benefits such as those
26listed as items (i) through (vi) in subsection (6) shall

 

 

SB2764- 23 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1conform with the principles of this subsection (7).
2    (8) This Section shall not apply to any of the following:
3    (a) reinsurance,
4    (b) group insurance,
5    (c) a pure endowment,
6    (d) an annuity or reversionary annuity contract,
7    (e) a term policy of uniform amount, which provides no
8guaranteed nonforfeiture or endowment benefits, or renewal
9thereof, of 20 years or less expiring before age 71, for which
10uniform premiums are payable during the entire term of the
11policy,
12    (f) a term policy of decreasing amount, which provides no
13guaranteed nonforfeiture or endowment benefits, on which each
14adjusted premium, calculated as specified in subsections (4),
15(4a), (4b) and (4c), is less than the adjusted premium so
16calculated, on a term policy of uniform amount, or renewal
17thereof, which provides no guaranteed nonforfeiture or
18endowment benefits, issued at the same age and for the same
19initial amount of insurance and for a term of 20 years or less
20expiring before age 71, for which uniform premiums are payable
21during the entire term of the policy,
22    (g) a policy, which provides no guaranteed nonforfeiture or
23endowment benefits, for which no cash surrender value, if any,
24or present value of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, at the
25beginning of any policy year, calculated as specified in
26subsections (2), (3), (4), (4a), (4b) and (4c), exceeds 2.5% of

 

 

SB2764- 24 -LRB098 19432 RPM 54594 b

1the amount of insurance at the beginning of the same policy
2year,
3    (h) any policy which shall be delivered outside this State
4through an agent or other representative of the company issuing
5the policy.
6    For purposes of determining the applicability of this
7Section, the age of expiry for a joint term life insurance
8policy shall be the age of expiry of the oldest life.
