Current through Supplement No. 394, October, 2024

1. For any policy of insurance on the life of either a male or female insured delivered or issued for delivery in this state and after the operative date of subsection 11 of North Dakota Century Code section 26.1-33-25 for that policy form:

a. A mortality table which is a blend of the 1980 CSO Table (M) and the 1980 CSO Table (F) with or without ten-year select mortality factors may, at the option of the company, be substituted for the 1980 CSO Table, with or without ten-year select mortality factors; and

b. A mortality table which is of the same blend as used in (i) but applied to form a blend of the 1980 CET Table (M) and the 1980 CET Table (F) may, at the option of the company, be substituted for the 1980 CET Table,

for use in determining minimum cash surrender values and amounts of paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.

2. The following tables will be considered as the basis for acceptable tables:

a. 100% Male 0% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-A" and "1980 CET-A" Tables.

b. 80% Male 20% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-B" and "1980 CET-B" Tables.

c. 60% Male 40% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-C" and "1980 CET-C" Tables.

d. 50% Male 50% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-D" and "1980 CET-D" Tables.

e. 40% Male 60% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-E" and "1980 CET-E" Tables.

f. 20% Male and 80% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-F" and"1980 CET-F" Tables.

g. 0% Male 100% Female for tables to be designated as the "1980 CSO-G" and "1980 CET-G" Tables.

Tables A and G are not to be used with respect to policies issued on or after January 1, 1985, except where the proportion of persons insured is anticipated to be ninety percent, or more of one sex or the other except for certain policies converted from group insurance. Such group conversions issued on or after January 1, 1986, must use mortality tables based on the blend of lives by sex expected for such policies if such group conversions are considered as extensions of the Norrisdecision. This consideration has not been clearly defined by court or legislative action in all jurisdictions. The values of 10000qx for blended tables B, C, D, E, and F are shown in Appendix I. The letter in Appendix II states the method by which selection factors may be obtained. Table A is the same as 1980 CSO Table (M) and 1980 CET Table (M) and Table G is the same as 1980 CSO Table (F) and 1980 CET Table (F).

3. Alternate rule.

a.

b. A mortality table which is of the same blend as used in subdivision a of this subsection but applied to form a blend of the male and female rates of mortality according to the corresponding 1980 CET Smoker Mortality Table or 1980 CET Nonsmoker Mortality Table may, at the option of the company, be substituted for the 1980 CET Table.
