Ins 2.13(8)(c)5.b.b. With respect to contracts providing for a single consideration, the net consideration used to define the minimum nonforfeiture amount shall be the gross consideration less a contract charge of $75 and less any charge for premium taxes. The percentage of the net consideration shall be 90%.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)5.c.c. The annual contract charge of $30 and the collection charge of $1.25 under subd. 5. a. and the single consideration contract charge of $75 under subd. 5. b., shall be adjusted annually to reflect changes in the consumer price index by multiplying each charge by the ratio of the consumer price index for June of the year preceding the date of filing to the consumer price index for June, 1979. “Consumer price index” means the index for all urban consumers for all items as published by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor or any successor agency. If publication of the consumer price index ceases, or if the index otherwise becomes unavailable or is altered so as to be unusable for purposes of this paragraph, the commissioner may substitute another suitable index.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)6.6. An insurer shall use any paid-up annuity benefit available under a modified guaranteed annuity contract that has a present value on the annuity commencement date that is at least equal to the minimum nonforfeiture amount on the date. The insurer shall compute the present value using the mortality table, if any, and the guaranteed or assumed interest rates used in calculating the annuity payments.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)7.7. For modified guaranteed annuity contracts which provide cash surrender benefits, the cash surrender benefit at any time before the annuity commencement date shall be equal to or greater than the minimum nonforfeiture amount next computed after the insurer receives a request for surrender. The death benefit under the contract shall be at least equal to the cash surrender benefit.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)8.8. Any modified guaranteed annuity contract which does not provide either a cash surrender benefit or a death benefit at least equal to the minimum nonforfeiture amount before the annuity commencement date shall include, in a prominent place in the contract, a statement that these benefits are not provided.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)9.9. Notwithstanding any other requirement of this paragraph, a modified guaranteed annuity contract may provide that the insurer, at its option, may cancel the annuity and pay the contract holder the larger of the unadjusted minimum nonforfeiture amount or the minimum nonforfeiture amount, and that the payment shall release the insurer from any further obligation under the contract. This option shall apply only under one of the following conditions:
Ins 2.13(8)(c)9.a.a. At the time the annuity becomes payable, the larger of the unadjusted minimum nonforfeiture amount or the minimum nonforfeiture amount is less than $2,000, or would provide an income the initial amount of which is less than $20 per month.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)9.b.b. Before the annuity becomes payable under a periodic payment contract, the insurer has not received any considerations under the contract for a period of 2 years and the total consideration paid before the 2-year period, reduced to reflect any partial withdrawals from or partial surrenders of the contract, plus the larger of the unadjusted minimum nonforfeiture amount or the minimum nonforfeiture amount is less than $2,000.
Ins 2.13(8)(c)10.10. For any modified guaranteed annuity contract which provides in the same contract, by rider or supplemental contract provision, both annuity benefits and life insurance benefits that exceed the greater of cash surrender benefits or a return of the gross considerations with interest, the minimum nonforfeiture benefits shall equal the sum of the minimum nonforfeiture benefits for the annuity portion and the minimum nonforfeiture benefits, if any, for the insurance portion computed as if each portion were a separate contract. Notwithstanding subd. 2., in determining the minimum nonforfeiture amounts and paid-up annuity, cash surrender and death benefits required by this paragraph, the insurer shall disregard additional benefits payable in the event of the total and permanent disability of the contract holder, as reversionary annuity or deferred reversionary annuity benefits or as other policy benefits additional to life insurance, endowment and annuity benefits and considerations for all such additional benefits. The inclusion of such additional benefits is not required in any paid-up benefits unless the additional benefits would, if provided separately, require minimum nonforfeiture amounts and paid-up annuity, cash surrender and death benefits.
Ins 2.13(8)(d)(d) The application for a modified guaranteed annuity shall contain, immediately before the signature line, a prominent statement that amounts payable under the contract are subject to a market-value adjustment before a date or dates specified in the contract.
Ins 2.13(9)(9)Provisions applicable to modified guaranteed life insurance and annuities.
Ins 2.13(9)(a)(a) Before any insurer issues any modified guaranteed life insurance policy or modified guaranteed annuity contract in this state, the commissioner may require the insurer to file a copy of any prospectus or other sales material to be used in connection with the marketing of the modified guaranteed life insurance policy or modified guaranteed annuity contract. The sales material shall clearly illustrate that there can be both upward and downward adjustments due to the application of the market-value adjustment formula in determining nonforfeiture benefits.
Ins 2.13(9)(b)(b) An insurer issuing a modified guaranteed life insurance policy or a modified guaranteed annuity in this state shall submit to the commissioner all of the following:
Ins 2.13(9)(b)1.1. A separate account annual statement which shall include the business of these policies or contracts.
Ins 2.13(9)(b)2.2. Any additional information required by the commissioner.

Ins 2.13(9)(d)(d) The statutes and administrative rules governing individual life insurance and individual annuity form filings also apply to modified guaranteed life insurance policies and modified guaranteed annuity contracts. Each filing shall demonstrate in a form satisfactory to the commissioner that the nonforfeiture provisions of the policy or contract comply with this section.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)(e)
Ins 2.13(9)(e)1.1. An insurer shall establish reserve liabilities in accordance with actuarial procedures that recognize all of the following:
Ins 2.13(9)(e)1.a.a. The market-value basis of the assets of the separate account.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)1.b.b. The variable nature of the benefits provided.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)1.c.c. Any mortality guarantees.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)2.2. The separate account liability shall equal the surrender value based on the market-value adjustment formula contained in the modified guaranteed life insurance policy or modified guaranteed annuity contract. If that liability is greater than the market value of the assets, the insurer shall transfer assets into the separate account so that the market value of the assets at least equals that of the liabilities. The insurer shall establish any additional reserve that is needed to cover future guaranteed benefits.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)3.3. An insurer shall consider the market-value adjustment formula, the interest guarantees and the degree to which projected cash flow of assets and liabilities are matched. The statement of actuarial opinion accompanying each annual statement shall include an opinion on whether the assets in the separate account are adequate to provide all future guaranteed benefits.
Ins 2.13(9)(e)4.4. An insurer shall maintain in the general account reserve liabilities for all fixed incidental insurance benefits and any guarantees associated with variable incidental insurance benefits.
Ins 2.13(10)(10)Required reports.
Ins 2.13(10)(a)(a) Each insurer issuing individual variable contracts shall mail to each contractholder, at least once in each contract year after the first, at his or her last address known to the insurer, a statement reporting the investments held in the separate account and, in the case of contracts under which payments have not yet commenced, a statement reporting either of the following as of a date not more than 4 months before the date of mailing:
Ins 2.13(10)(a)1.1. The number of accumulation units credited to the contract and the dollar value of a unit.
Ins 2.13(10)(a)2.2. The value of the contractholder’s account.
