Minimum nonforfeiture amounts.
1. The minimum values, specified in NRS 688A.3631 to 688A.3637, inclusive, and 688A.366, of any paid-up annuity, cash surrender or death benefits available under an annuity contract must be based upon minimum nonforfeiture amounts as defined in this section.
2. With respect to contracts providing for flexible considerations, the minimum nonforfeiture amount for any time at or before the commencement of any annuity payments is equal to an accumulation up to such time at a rate of interest calculated pursuant to subsection 3, which must be decreased by the sum of:
(a) Any prior withdrawals from or partial surrenders of the contract, accumulated at a rate of interest calculated pursuant to subsection 3;
(b) An annual charge in the amount of $50, accumulated at rates of interest calculated pursuant to subsection 3;
(c) Any premium tax paid by the company for the contract, accumulated at rates of interest calculated pursuant to subsection 3; and
(d) The amount of any indebtedness to the company on the contract, including interest due and accrued.
Ê The net considerations for a given contract year used to define the minimum nonforfeiture amount must be an amount that is equal to 87.5 percent of the gross considerations credited to the contract during that contract year.
3. For the purpose of this section, the rate of interest used to determine the minimum nonforfeiture amounts must be an annual rate of interest determined as the lesser of 3 percent per annum or a rate specified in the contract if the rate is calculated in accordance with regulations adopted by the Commissioner, except that at no time may the resulting rate be less than 1 percent per annum.
