						<section><p>For <span class="dictionary">contracts</span> that do not provide cash surrender benefits, the present value of any paid-up annuity benefit available as a nonforfeiture option at any time prior to maturity shall not be less than the present value of that portion of the maturity value of the paid-up annuity benefit provided under the <span class="dictionary">contract</span> arising from considerations paid before the time the <span class="dictionary">contract</span> is surrendered in exchange for, or changed to, a deferred paid-up annuity. The present value shall be calculated for the period before the maturity date on the basis of the interest <span class="dictionary">rate</span> specified in the <span class="dictionary">contract</span> for accumulating the net considerations to determine the maturity value, and increased by any existing additional amounts credited by the <span class="dictionary">insurer</span> to the <span class="dictionary">contract</span>. For <span class="dictionary">contracts</span> that do not provide any death benefits before the beginning of any annuity payments, the present values shall be calculated on the basis of the interest <span class="dictionary">rate</span> and the mortality table specified in the <span class="dictionary">contract</span> for determining the maturity value of the paid-up annuity benefit. In no event shall the present value of a paid-up annuity benefit be less than the minimum nonforfeiture amount at that time.</p></section></text><history>1979, c. 437, &#xA7; 38.1-470.1; 1986, c. 562.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
