Title 210 - NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
Chapter 57 - LIFE AND HEALTH REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS
Section 210-57-002 - Preamble

Current through September 17, 2024

002.01 The Nebraska Insurance Department recognizes that licensed insurers routinely enter into reinsurance agreements that yield legitimate relief to the ceding insurer from strain to surplus.

002.02 However, it is improper for a licensed insurer, in the capacity of ceding insurer, to enter into reinsurance agreements for the principal purpose of producing significant surplus aid for the ceding insurer, typically on a temporary basis, while not transferring all of the significant risks inherent in the business being reinsured. In substance or effect, the expected potential liability to the ceding insurer remains basically unchanged by the reinsurance transaction, notwithstanding certain risk elements in the reinsurance agreement, such as catastrophic mortality or extraordinary survival. The terms of such agreements referred to herein and described in Section 004 violate:

002.02(a) Neb. Rev. Stat. § 44-322 relating to financial statements which do not properly reflect the financial condition of the ceding life insurer;

002.02(b) Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 44-416.01 through 44-416.03 relating to reinsurance reserve credits, thus resulting in a ceding insurer improperly reducing liabilities or establishing assets for reinsurance ceded; and

002.02(c) Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 44-4809, 44-4812, and 44-4817 relating to creating a situation that may be hazardous to policyholders and the people of this State.
