Common use of Actuarial Methodology Clause in Contracts

Actuarial Methodology. As described below, a model was developed from the in force data as of the Statement Date. The important criteria for defining a model cell were benefit type and issue year. Plans with other benefits were modeled into one of the modeled plans based on similarity of benefit. Historical and prospective projections of statutory contribution to surplus were developed using a gains by source analysis and employing the respective assumptions as outlined below. Historical surplus contributions were accumulated with interest to the Statement Date and prospective surplus contributions were discounted to the same date as described in Section II. The sum of each model cell's historical and prospective values as of the Statement Date was divided by the model cell's statutory reserve as of the Statement Date to calculate that cell's AC factor. Each eligible contract's AC was then determined from its actual statutory reserve as of the Statement Date and the AC factor for the appropriate model cell.
