31 Pa. Code § 82.72. Policy statements.

§ 82.72. Policy statements.

 Within 30 days after each anniversary of the policy, a statement of the cash surrender value, death benefit, a partial withdrawal or policy loan and interest charge, under the policy computed as of the policy anniversary date shall be mailed. The statement may be furnished within 30 days after a specified date in each policy year if the information contained therein is computed as of a date not more than 60 days prior to the mailing of the notice.

   (1)  This statement shall state that, in accordance with the investment experience of the separate account, the cash values and the variable death benefit may increase or decrease, and this statement shall prominently identify value described therein which may be recomputed prior to the next statement required by this section. If the policy guarantees that the variable death benefit on the next policy anniversary date will not be less than the variable death benefit specified in the statement, the statement shall be modified to so indicate.

   (2)  For flexible premium policies, the report shall contain a reconciliation of the change since the previous report in cash value and cash surrender value, if different, because of payments made—less deductions for expense charges—withdrawals, investment experience, insurance charges and other charges made against the cash value.

     (i)   The report shall show the projected cash value and cash surrender value, if different, as of 1 year from the end of the period covered by the report assuming that:

       (A)   Planned periodic premiums, if any, are paid as scheduled.

       (B)   Guaranteed costs of insurance are deducted.

       (C)   The net investment return is equal to the guaranteed rate or, in the absence of a guaranteed rate, is not greater than zero.

     (ii)   If the projected value is less than zero, a warning message shall be included that states that the policy may be in danger of terminating without value in the next 12 months unless additional premium is paid.
