Every insurer shall file a fixed residual value financing loan form and the formula demonstrating the manner in which the actual installment payment will be calculated for each installment payment calculation method.(d)Level life coverage.

No credit A and H or involuntary unemployment insurance may be provided on the residual amount.(f)Single premium gross calculation. If premiums for credit life insurance or credit life insurance with TPD benefit are payable on a single premium basis, when the benefit is the gross unpaid indebtedness, the single premium shall equal the sum of the single premium for decreasing insurance with an amount of initial insured gross unpaid indebtedness equal to the sum of the schedule of installment payments and the single premium for level insurance with an amount of insurance equal to the fixed residual value.(g)Single premium net calculation. If premiums for credit life insurance or credit life insurance with TPD benefit are payable on a single premium basis, when the benefit is the net unpaid indebtedness, the single premium shall equal the sum of the single premium for decreasing insurance based on an initial amount financed minus an amount equal to the fixed residual value, and the single premium for level insurance with an amount of insurance equal to the fixed residual value.(h)Payment to beneficiary. If the insurance benefit is the gross unpaid indebtedness, and if the life insurance or TPD proceeds are applied to continue the installment, the group policy and group certificate or individual policy providing the coverage shall provide that the difference between the sum of the remaining payments plus the amount of level insurance, if applicable, and the sum of the present value of the remaining payments plus the present value of the fixed residual value payment, if applicable, shall be paid to the named beneficiary or the estate of the debtor, regardless of whether the benefit is paid to the creditor as a lump sum or in installments. The present value shall be calculated using an interest rate of at least 5%.
