Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 11:4-27.4 - Conditions

(a) For each plan of insurance with separate rates for smokers and nonsmokers, an insurer may use:

1. Composite mortality tables to determine minimum reserve liabilities and minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits;

2. Smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables to determine the valuation net premiums and additional minimum reserves, if any, required by N.J.S.A. 17B:19-8(e) and may use composite mortality tables to determine the basic minimum reserves, minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits; or

3. Smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables to determine minimum reserve liabilities and minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.

(b) For plans of insurance without separate rates for smokers and nonsmokers, the composite mortality tables shall be used.

(c) For the purpose of determining minimum reserve liabilities and minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, the 2001 CSO Mortality Table may, at the option of the insurer for each plan of insurance, be used in either its ultimate or its select and ultimate form, subject to the restrictions of N.J.A.C. 11:4-27.5 and 11:4-32 relative to use of the select and ultimate form.

(d) When the 2001 CSO Mortality Table is the minimum reserve standard for any plan for a company, the actuarial opinion in the annual statement filed by that company with the Commissioner shall be based on an asset adequacy analysis as specified in N.J.A.C. 11:1-21A.6. The Commissioner may exempt an insurer from this requirement if it only does business in this State and in no other state.
