———————

(1) Policies with a GMIB also have a GMDB. The NAR for each benefit is shown in the table above, however these benefits are not additive. When a policy terminates due to death, any NAR related or GMIB is released. Similarly, when a policy goes into benefit status on a GMIB, its GMDB NAR is released.
Changes in Guaranteed Liability Balances

The GMWB, GMDB and chronic care guarantees are recorded in policy liabilities and accruals on our balance sheets. Changes in the liability are recorded in policy benefits on our statements of comprehensive income. We regularly evaluate estimates used and adjust the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

Universal life

 

Liabilities for universal life contracts, some of which contain secondary guarantees, are generally determined by estimating the expected value of benefits and expenses when claims are triggered and recognizing those benefits and expenses over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating these liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs.

Non-Insurance Guaranteed Product Features

Certain separate account variable products contain a GMWB, GMAB and/or COMBO rider as defined in the 2012 Form 10-K. These features are accounted for as embedded derivatives as described below.
