1. An advertisement may not use a combination of words, symbols or physical materials that by their content, phraseology, shape, color or other characteristic are so similar to a combination of words, symbols or physical materials used by a governmental program or agency, or otherwise appear to be of such a nature, that they tend to mislead viators or purchasers of viatical settlements into believing that the solicitation is connected with a governmental program or agency. An advertisement may not create the impression that a provider of viatical settlements, the provider’s financial condition or business practices, the payment of the provider’s claims or the merit, desirability or advisability of the provider’s viatical settlements or agreements to purchase viatical settlements is recommended or endorsed by a governmental authority.

2. An advertisement may state that a provider of viatical settlements is licensed in the state in which the advertisement appears, if it does not imply that competing providers are not so licensed. The advertisement may suggest consulting the licensee’s website or communicating with the Commissioner to ascertain whether the state requires licensing and, if so, whether a particular provider or broker of viatical settlements is licensed.
