26-16-211. Calculating cash surrender and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits for premium default other than on policy anniversary.

(a) Any cash surrender value and any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit, available under the policy in case of default in a premium payment due at any time other than on the policy anniversary, shall be calculated with allowance for the lapse of time and the payment of fractional premiums beyond the last preceding policy anniversary. All values referred to in W.S. 26-16-203(b) through 26-16-209 may be calculated upon the assumption that any death benefit is payable at the end of the policy year of death. The net value of any paid-up additions, other than paid-up term additions, shall not be less than the amounts used to provide the additions. Notwithstanding W.S. 26-16-203(b), the following additional benefits payable shall be disregarded in ascertaining cash surrender values and nonforfeiture benefits required by this article and are not required to be included in any paid-up nonforfeiture benefits:

(i) In case of death or dismemberment by accident or accidental means;

(ii) In case of total and permanent disability;

(iii) As reversionary annuity or deferred reversionary annuity benefits;

(iv) As term insurance benefits provided by a rider or supplemental policy provision to which, if issued as a separate policy, this section would not apply;

(v) As term insurance on the life of a child provided in a policy on the life of a parent of the child, if the term insurance expires before the child's age is twenty-six (26), is uniform in amount after the child's age is one (1) and is not paid-up because of the death of a parent of the child; and

(vi) As other policy benefits additional to life insurance and endowment benefits, and premiums for all the additional benefits.
