Section 86.2. Purpose

In transacting business, life insurance companies and fraternal benefit societies, for the convenience of policyholders and contractholders, accept funds for paying premiums or considerations falling due in the future. This chapter allows life insurance companies and fraternal benefit societies to accept deposits under an individual life insurance policy or an individual annuity contract only under the conditions and limitations set forth in this chapter. When this chapter was adopted, life insurance policies and annuity contracts generally provided for the payment of fixed premium amounts. Therefore, the chapter was designed to apply to fixed premium policies and contracts. In the current Pennsylvania marketplace, both fixed premium and flexible premium policies and contracts are marketed and sold and this chapter recognizes a distinction between fixed premium policies and contracts, and flexible premium policies and contracts and establishes deposit limits which are applicable to moneys held in premium deposit funds and retirement funds of both types of premium payment policies and contracts.
