2001 CSO Mortality Table- that mortality table, consisting of separate rates of mortality for male and female lives, developed by the American Academy of Actuaries CSO Task Force from the Valuation Basic Mortality Table developed by the Society of Actuaries Individual Life Insurance Valuation Mortality Task Force, and adopted by the NAIC in December 2002. The 2001 CSO Mortality Table is included in the Proceedings of the NAIC (2nd Quarter 2002). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the "2001 CSO Mortality Table" includes both the ultimate form of that table and the select and ultimate form of that table and includes both the smoker and nonsmoker mortality tables and the composite mortality tables. It also includes both the age-nearest-birthday and age-last-birthday bases of the mortality tables.
Home Service Contracts- those life insurance policies and certificates issued by a company that has a home service marketing distribution system as defined under Title 22, the Louisiana Insurance Code, R.S 22: 1141.C(2). These policies have generally lower life insurance policy face amounts with simplified issue and non-medically underwritten features. The proceeds of these policies are usually used to pay burial and other funeral expenses.
Preneed Life Insurance- for purposes of this regulation, is any life insurance policy or certificate that is issued in combination with, in support of, with an assignment to, or as a guarantee for a prearrangement agreement for goods and services to be provided at the time of, and immediately following, the death of the insured. Goods and services may include, but are not limited to, embalming, cremation, body preparation, viewing or visitation, coffin or urn, memorial stone, and transportation of the deceased. For the purpose of this regulation preneed life insurance shall include home service contracts and other similarly underwritten life insurance policies and certificates.
