20-1242. Definitions

In this article, unless the context otherwise requires:

1. " Contract owner" means the owner named in the annuity contract or certificate holder in the case of a group annuity contract.

2. " Determinable elements" means elements that are derived from processes or methods that are guaranteed at issue and that are not subject to company discretion, but where the values or amounts cannot be determined until some point after issue. These elements include the premiums, credited interest rates, including any bonus, benefits, values, noninterest based credits, charges or elements of formulas used to determine any of these. These elements may be described as guaranteed but not determined at issue. An element is considered determinable if it is calculated from underlying determinable elements only or from both determinable and guaranteed elements.

3. " Generic name" means a short title descriptive of the annuity contract being applied for or illustrated such as " single premium deferred annuity" .

4. " Guaranteed elements" means the premiums, credited interest rates, including any bonus, benefits, values, noninterest based credits, charges, or elements of formulas used to determine any of these, that are guaranteed and determined at issue. An element is considered guaranteed if all of the underlying elements that go into its calculation are guaranteed.

5. " Insurance producer" has the same meaning prescribed in section 20-281.

6. " Nonguaranteed elements" means the premiums, credited interest rates, including any bonus, benefits, values, noninterest based credits, charges, or elements of formulas used to determine any of these, that are subject to company discretion and that are not guaranteed at issue. An element is considered nonguaranteed if any of the underlying nonguaranteed elements are used in its calculation.

7. " Structured settlement annuity" means a qualified funding asset as defined in section 130(d) of the internal revenue code or an annuity that would be a qualified funding asset under section 130(d) but for the fact that it is not owned by an assignee under a qualified assignment.
