1. (1) An insurer shall submit an actuarial memorandum with each filing that describes the accelerated benefit, the risks, the expected costs, the development of premiums, the bases used to calculate benefits payable and the calculation of statutory reserves.

2. (2) When an accelerated benefit is included as part of a policy, certificate or rider, an insurer shall determine reserves in accordance with the Standard Valuation Law. The actuary must follow both actuarial standards and certification for good and sufficient reserves. Reserves in the aggregate must be sufficient to cover:

   1. (a) Policies upon which no claim has yet arisen; and
   2. (b) Policies upon which an accelerated claim has arisen.
3. (3) Policy liens and policy loans, including accrued interest, represent assets of the insurer for statutory reporting purposes. For any policy on which the policy lien exceeds the policy’s statutory reserve liability, the excess must be held as a non-admitted asset.
