NRS 688A.305
Cash surrender value: Limitations on policies issued on or after January 1, 1987.
1.
This section applies to all policies issued on or after January 1, 1987. Any cash surrender value available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment due on any policy anniversary must be in an amount which does not differ by more than two-tenths of 1 percent of the amount of insurance, if the insurance is uniform in amount, or the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy years, from the sum of:(a)
The greater of zero and the basic cash value specified in this section; and(b)
The present value of any existing paid-up additions less the amount of any indebtedness to the company under the policy.2.
The basic cash value must be equal to the present value, on the anniversary, of the future guaranteed benefits which would have been provided by the policy, excluding any existing paid-up additions and before deduction of any indebtedness to the company, if there had been no default, less the present value of the nonforfeiture factors, as defined in NRS 688A.290 to 688A.360, inclusive. The effects on the basic cash value of supplemental life insurance or annuity benefits or of family coverage, as described in this section or NRS 688A.300 or 688A.320, whichever is applicable, must be the same as the effects specified in this section or NRS 688A.300 or 688A.320, on the cash surrender values defined in the applicable section.3.
The nonforfeiture factor for each policy year must be an amount equal to a percentage of the adjusted premium for the policy year, as defined in NRS 688A.320 or 688A.325, whichever is applicable. Except as is required in this subsection, the percentage must be:(a)
The same for each policy year between the second policy anniversary and the later of:(1)
The fifth policy anniversary; and(2)
The first policy anniversary at which there is available under the policy a cash surrender value in an amount, before including any paid-up additions and before deducting any indebtedness, of at least two-tenths of 1 percent of the amount of insurance, if the insurance is uniform in amount, or the average amount of insurance at the beginning of each of the first 10 policy years; and(b)
Such that no percentage after the later of the two policy anniversaries specified in paragraph (a) may apply to fewer than 5 consecutive policy years.4.
All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this section for a particular policy must be calculated on the same mortality and interest bases as are used in demonstrating the policy’s compliance with NRS 688A.290 to 688A.360, inclusive. The cash surrender values referred to in this section must include any endowment benefits provided for by the policy.5.
Any cash surrender value available other than in the event of default in a premium payment due on a policy anniversary, and the amount of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available under the policy in the event of default in a premium payment must be determined by methods consistent with those specified for determining the analogous minimum amounts in NRS 688A.290, 688A.300, 688A.310, 688A.325 and 688A.350. The amounts of any cash surrender values and of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits granted in connection with additional benefits such as those listed in paragraphs (a) to (f), inclusive, of subsection 4 of NRS 688A.350, must conform with the principles of this section.
