Section 102.5 - Transition rules

(a) For a preneed policy or certificate issued on or after January 1, 2009 and before January 1, 2012, the 2001 CSO Mortality Table may be used as the minimum standard for reserves and nonforfeiture benefits for both male and female insureds.

(b) If an insurer elects to use the 2001 CSO Mortality Table as a minimum standard for any preneed policy or certificate issued on or after January 1, 2009 and prior to January 1, 2012, the insurer shall provide, as part of the actuarial opinion and memorandum submitted in support of the insurer's asset adequacy testing as specified in Part 95 of this Title, an annual written notification of such use to the superintendent. The notification shall include:

(1) a complete list of all preneed life insurance policy forms that use the 2001 CSO Mortality Table as a minimum standard;

(2) a certification signed by the appointed actuary stating that the reserve methodology, which is employed by the insurer in determining reserves for preneed life insurance issued after January 1, 2009 and using the 2001 CSO Mortality Table as a minimum standard, develops adequate reserves. For the purposes of this certification, the preneed life insurance using the 2001 CSO Mortality Table as a minimum standard cannot be aggregated with any other policies and certificates; and

(3) supporting information regarding the adequacy of reserves for preneed life insurance issued on or after January 1, 2009 and using the 2001 CSO Mortality Table as a minimum standard for reserves.

(c) A preneed life insurance policy or certificate issued on or after January 1, 2012 shall use the Ultimate 1980 CSO Mortality Table in the calculation of minimum reserves and minimum nonforfeiture values.
