§ IN.1107.102. COMPUTATION OF PAID-UP ANNUITY BENEFIT UNDER CERTAIN CONTRACTS

COMPUTATION OF PAID-UP ANNUITY BENEFIT UNDER CERTAIN CONTRACTS. (a) This section applies only to an annuity contract that does not provide a cash surrender benefit. (b) Subject to Subsection (e), the present value of a paid-up annuity benefit available as a nonforfeiture option before the maturity date may not be less than the present value of the portion of the maturity value of the paid-up annuity benefit provided under the contract that arises from considerations paid on the contract before the date the contract is surrendered in exchange for or is changed to a deferred paid-up annuity. (c) The present value of a paid-up annuity benefit under Subsection (b) shall be: (1) computed for the period before the maturity date on the basis of the interest rate specified in the contract for accumulating the net considerations paid on the contract to determine the maturity value; and (2) increased by any additional amount credited by the company to the contract. (d) Subject to Subsection (e), for an annuity contract that does not provide a death benefit before annuity payments begin, the present value of a paid-up annuity benefit available as a nonforfeiture option shall be computed using the interest rate and the mortality table specified in the contract for determining the maturity value of the paid-up annuity benefit. (e) The present value of a paid-up annuity benefit may not be less than the minimum nonforfeiture amount on the date of surrender or change. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 1419, Sec. 2, eff.
