SCHEDULE B4, BENEFIT RESERVE FORMULA AND ASSUMPTIONS
BENEFIT RESERVE METHODOLOGY
The reserve calculation method is the net premium method with the reserve
calculated over a 20-year period, after which the business may be recaptured.
The terminal reserves are calculated using monthly curtate assumptions; premiums
are paid at the beginning of the month and death benefits are paid at the end of
the month. The formula for the terminal reserve is:
tV(12) = PVt (expected future benefits) - k * PVt (expected future
gross reinsurance premiums),
where
k = PVt (expected future benefits)/PVt (expected future gross
reinsurance premiums) for t=0, and
tV(12) is the terminal reserve at duration t.
The final reserve calculation represents an exact linear interpolation between
two terminal reserves, giving the formula:
t-1+sV(12) = t-1V(12) * (1-s) + tV(12) * s,
where
s is the portion of one year expired between the last policy
anniversary and the valuation date.

prescribed in the NAIC Standard Valuation Law and approved by the State
of Ohio Department of Insurance.
