Section 11:4-40.7 - Valuation and non-forfeiture interest rates form approval procedures

(a) In addition to those items set forth at 11:4-40.5, insurers seeking approval of valuation and non-forfeiture interest rate changes to previously filed forms shall include, if applicable, the following items in the submission to the Department:

1. If the interest rate and/or non-forfeiture values appearing on the form change as a result of the new interest rate, the submission shall include the new page(s) bearing distinct identifying form numbers for filing;

2. A revised actuarial memorandum reflecting the change in interest rate or a statement that the new rate does not affect the memorandum currently on file;

3. Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 17B:25-19h(x), an insurer is not required to refile other provisions of the form to file the changes described in (a)1 and 2 above; and

4. The interest rate and non-forfeiture values may be filed as variable to the extent they are equal to or determinable from the maximum interest rate, and cash values calculated using that rate, as described in 17B:25-19. Insurers shall place variable brackets around the appropriate item(s) on the revised policy page(s).

(b) The Department shall acknowledge a submission indicating a change in the valuation interest rate and amending actuarial data related to reserve calculations. If a form actually refers to, or contains provisions depending on, the valuation interest rate, the submission shall be treated as a refiling of policy pages to change the interest rate pursuant to (a)1 and 2 above.
