Section 23-81-211 - Calculation of certain cash surrender values and nonforfeiture benefits in event of default
(a) Any cash surrender value and any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment due at any time other than on the policy anniversary, shall be calculated with allowance for the lapse of time and the payment of fractional premiums beyond the last preceding policy anniversary.
(b) All values referred to in §§ 23-81-204 - 23-81-209 may be calculated upon the assumption that any death benefit is payable at the end of the policy year of death.
(c) The net value of any paid-up additions, other than paid-up term additions, shall be not less than the amounts used to provide the additions.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of § 23-81-204, additional benefits are payable:
(1) In the event of death or dismemberment by accident or accidental means;
(2) In the event of total and permanent disability;
(3) As reversionary annuity or deferred benefits;
(4) As term insurance benefits provided by a rider or supplemental policy provision to which, if issued as a separate policy, this subchapter would not apply;
(5) As term insurance on the life of a child or on the lives of children provided in a policy on the life of a parent of the child, if the term insurance expires before the child is twenty-six (26) years of age, is uniform in amount after the child's age is one (1) year, and has not become paid up by reason of the death of a parent of the child; and
(6) As other policy benefits additional to life insurance and endowment benefits, and premiums for all such additional benefits, shall be disregarded in ascertaining cash surrender values and nonforfeiture benefits required by this subchapter, and no additional benefits shall be required to be included in any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.
