Ins 2.30(3) (3)Individual annuity or pure endowment contracts.
Ins 2.30(3)(a)(a) The 1983 table `a' may be used to determine the minimum standard of valuation for any individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after November 8, 1977 but before January 1, 1986.
Ins 2.30(3)(b) (b) Either the 1983 table `a' or the annuity 2000 mortality table shall be used to determine the minimum standard of valuation for any individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after January 1, 1986 but before January 1, 1999.
Ins 2.30(3)(c) (c) Except as provided in par. (d) the annuity 2000 mortality table shall be used to determine the minimum standard of valuation for any individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after January 1, 1999, but before January 1, 2015.
Ins 2.30(3)(cm) (cm) Except as provided in par. (d) the 2012 IAR Table may be used to determine the minimum standard of valuation for any individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after January 1, 2015. For any individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after January 1, 2016, the 2012 IAR Table shall be used.
Ins 2.30(3)(d) (d) The 1983 table a without projection shall be used for determining the minimum standards of valuation for an individual annuity or pure endowment contract issued on or after January 1, 1999 when the contract is based on life contingencies and is issued to fund periodic benefits arising from any of one of the following:
Ins 2.30(3)(d)1. 1. Settlements of various forms of claims pertaining to court settlements or out of court settlements from tort actions.
Ins 2.30(3)(d)2. 2. Settlements involving similar actions such as worker's compensation claims.
Ins 2.30(3)(d)3. 3. Settlements of long term disability claims where a temporary or life annuity has been used in lieu of continuing disability payments.
Ins 2.30(3m) (3m)Application of the 2012 IAR Table.
Ins 2.30(3m)(a)(a) In using the 2012 IAR Table, the mortality rate for a person age x in year (2012 + n) is calculated as follows:
Ins 2.30(3m)(b) (b) The resulting qx 2012+n shall be rounded to three decimal places per 1,000, e.g., 0.741 deaths per 1,000. The rounding shall occur according to the formula in par. (a), starting at the 2012 period table rate.
Ins 2.30 Note Note: For example, for a male age 30, qx 2012 = 0.741.
qx 2013 = 0.741 * (1 – 0.010) ^ 1 = 0.73359, which is rounded to 0.734.
qx 2014 = 0.741 * (1 – 0.010) ^ 2 = 0.7262541, which is rounded to 0.726.
Ins 2.30 Note Note: A method leading to incorrect rounding would be to calculate qx 2014 as qx 2013 * (1 – 0.010), or 0.734 * 0.99 = 0.727. It is incorrect to use the already rounded qx 2013 to calculate qx 2014.
Ins 2.30(4) (4)Group annuity or pure endowment contracts.
Ins 2.30(4)(a)(a) Either the 1983 GAM table, the 1983 table `a', or the 1994 GAR table may be used to value any annuity or pure endowment purchased on or after November 8, 1977 but before January 1, 1986 under a group annuity or pure endowment contract.
Ins 2.30(4)(b) (b) Either the 1983 GAM table or the 1994 GAR table shall be used to determine the minimum standard of valuation for any annuity or pure endowment contract purchased on or after January 1, 1986 but before January 1, 1999 under a group annuity or pure endowment contract.
Ins 2.30(4)(c) (c) The 1994 GAR table shall be used for determining the minimum standard of valuation for any annuity or pure endowment contract purchased on or after January 1, 1999 under a group annuity or pure endowment contract.
Ins 2.30(5) (5)Application of 1994 GAR table.
Ins 2.30(5)(a)(a) In using the 1994 GAR table the mortality rate for a person age x in year (1994 + n) is calculated as follows:
qx 1994+n = qx 1994 (1-AAx) n
where the qx 1994s and AA xs are as specified in the 1994 GAR Table.
