VALUATION OF BENEFIT CERTIFICATES.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) A fraternal benefit society shall include in its report under Section 885.401 a valuation of the society's benefit certificates in force on the preceding December 31. The report of valuation shall show:
(1) as contingent liabilities, the present midyear value of the promised benefits provided by the fraternal benefit society's laws under the benefit certificates subject to valuation; and
(2) as contingent assets, the present midyear value of the future net premiums provided by the fraternal benefit society's laws as the premiums are in practice actually collected.
(b) At the option of a fraternal benefit society, instead of the valuation determined under Subsections (a)(1) and (2), the valuation may show the net value of benefit certificates subject to valuation under Subsection (a). The net value, when computed in case of monthly premiums, may be the mean of the terminal values for the end of the preceding and of the current insurance years.
(c) The valuation, including the valuation of benefit certificates, must be certified by an actuary or, at the request and expense of the fraternal benefit society, verified by the actuary of the insurance department of the society's home state.
(d) The legal minimum standard of valuation for all benefit certificates, other than benefit certificates for accident and health benefits, is computed using a mortality table and interest rate specified by Section 885.404.
(e) Each valuation report must set out clearly and fully the mortality and interest rates and the method of valuation.
(f) The report required by Section 885.401 must also include a valuation of benefit certificates in accordance with Section 885.408.
