Section 230-RICR-20-25-12.3 - PurposeA. The purpose of this Part is to establish for preneed insurance products minimum mortality standards for reserves and nonforfeiture values, and to require the use of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (CSO) Life Valuation Mortality Table for use in determining the minimum standard of valuation of reserves and the minimum standard nonforfeiture values for preneed insurance products.B. Research completed by the Deloitte University of Connecticut Actuarial Center and commissioned by the Society of Actuaries as a part of a study of preneed mortality determined that the 2001 CSO Mortality Table, currently recognized as the prevailing table for the purposes of calculating reserves and nonforfeiture values both on a statutory basis and on a tax basis, produced inadequate reserves for policies issued in support of a prearrangement agreement which provides goods and services at the time of an insured's death.230 R.I.
