DEFINITIONS

Illustration - A sales presentation or depiction of the guaranteed and non-guaranteed elements of a certificate through product maturity. The rules for illustrations protect consumers and encourage consumer education.

Issue State or Contract State - For sales purposes, the contract state is defined as the state of residence of certificate owner. The application, illustration, and resultant contract forms should consistently reflect the owner's contract state. This will also be the state that a member will contact to seek consumer protection.

Non-Conforming Illustration form - All applications must be accompanied by either a signed compliant illustration or a signed "Non-Conforming Illustration" form. The applicant must retain a signed copy of the form used in the sale. Appropriate signatures (yours and the applicant) are required.

Sales Practices - No written alterations or verbal misstatements are permitted when using illustrations. Care must be taken to fully educate the applicant about the Guaranteed and Non-Guaranteed aspects of the product. Protect member privacy by abiding by all of our current confidentiality policies.
