KRS 304.15-312: Policies without cash surrender value.
Where this section sits in the code
(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 304.15-310(1)(b) and (d), companies which
comply with the provisions of KRS 304.15 -342 may issue policies of life insurance
which differ from their existing or currently filed policies only in that they do not
provide for any cash surrender value prior to the death of the life insured. However,
if a policy provides for any cash surrender value, endowment, or pure endowment
prior to the death of the life insured, this exemption shall not apply. Provided,
further, that an y policy without cash surrender values, for which one (1) or more
cash surrender values would otherwise have been required, shall contain on its first
page, a concise, exact description, set out in contrasting type at least four (4) points
larger than used in the body of that page a statement in a prominent place that such
values are not provided and that no policy loans are available under the policy.
Further, the insurer shall provide to each prospective purchaser of such a policy a
policy summary, the fo rm of which shall be filed for approval pursuant to KRS
304.14-120, which includes the same description as the policy, similarly displayed,
and which shows the premium said insurer charges for the same policy when cash
values are included. Such policy summary shall be delivered before any premium is
accepted.
(2) Such policies shall provide for a paid -up nonforfeiture benefit as required by KRS
304.15-310(1)(a) and (c). The amount or period of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit
shall be determined from a non forfeiture amount determined as provided by KRS
304.15-330 for an otherwise similar policy with cash surrender values. The
nonforfeiture amount, at any time, shall not be less than the amount of the minimum
cash surrender value required by KRS 304.15 -320 for an otherwise similar policy
with cash surrender values.
(3) Except for the requirement of payment upon surrender, the nonforfeiture amounts
for such policies shall be subject to all provisions of this subtitle which apply to the
cash surrender values of otherwise similar life insurance policies with cash
surrender values.
(4) KRS 304.15 -110 shall not apply to policies which do not provide cash surrender
values.
