AUTHORITY: Implementing Sections 224 and 230.1 of the Illinois Insurance Code [215 ILCS 5] and authorized by Section 401 of the Illinois Insurance Code [215 ILCS 5].
SOURCE: Adopted at 22 Ill. Reg. 3038, effective June 1, 1998; amended at 22 Ill. Reg. 20121, effective November 9, 1998; amended at 43 Ill. Reg. 9228, effective August 19, 2019.
Section 1406.10 Purpose
The purpose of this Part is to provide standards for both individual and group life insurance policy illustrations that will protect consumers and foster consumer education. This Part provides illustration formats, prescribes standards to be followed when illustrations are used, and specifies the disclosures that are required in connection with each illustration. This Part will ensure that illustrations do not mislead purchasers of individual or group life insurance and as a result life insurance illustrations will be more understandable, allowing consumers to make better informed decisions about coverage. Insurers will, as far as possible, eliminate the use of footnotes and caveats and define terms used in the illustration in the language that would be understood by a typical person within the segment of the public to which the illustration is directed.
Section 1406.20 Applicability and Scope
This Part applies to all individual and group life insurance policies and certificates issued after June 1, 1998, except:
a) Variable life insurance;
b) Individual and group annuity contracts;
c) Credit life insurance; or
d) Life insurance policies and certificates with guaranteed scheduled death benefits of $10,000 or less, or illustrated death benefits less than $15,000.
