The purpose of this section is to allow insurers who have elected an operative date under s. 632.43 (6m) (h), Stats., to provide for cash surrender and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits which do not vary with the sex of the life insured.

Norris,103 Supreme Court Reporter 3492, which makes it illegal for an employer to make contributions after August 1, 1983, to a defined contribution pension plan if the benefits derived from those contributions differ by sex. Separate provisions are set forth in this section for unisex policies that may be subject to that decision and for unisex policies in general. Ins 2.20(2)(2) Scope. Except as provided for in sub. (4) (b), this section applies only to those policies issued in this state for which the insurer or employer has determined that the implications of Norris would prohibit the use of cash surrender and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits which vary with the sex of the insured.

(2) of this section and is delivered or issued for delivery in this state after the operative date of s. 632.43 (6m) (h), Stats., applicable to the policy, the cash surrender and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits provided under the policy may be calculated using one of the sets of tables designated as Table A through Table G. Tables A and G may not be used for policies issued on or after January 1, 1985 except where the proportion of persons insured is anticipated to be 90% or more of one sex or the other or except for certain policies converted from group insurance. Such group conversions issued on or after January 1, 1986, shall use mortality tables based on the blend of lives by sex expected for such policies if such group conversions are considered extensions of the Norris decision. Ins 2.20(4)(a)2.2. In place of Tables A through G under sub. (1), corresponding Tables NA through NG and SA through SG may be used in situations where separate rates for nonsmokers and smokers are used. Ins 2.20(4)(b)1.1. An insurer may elect one of the Tables B through F in lieu of the 1980 CSO and CET tables for all life insurance policies under which all contractual requirements and guarantees are independent of the sex of the life insured, without regard to any opinion as to the applicability of Norris; provided that the Table so elected may not be changed unless the insurer can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the commissioner that a different Blend is more appropriate.

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 NoteNote: 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 NoteNote: 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.
