Protective Life 7702/7702A product updates in California
December 16, 2021
We're dedicated to simplifying everything, building trust and providing quality service to you and your clients. Part of that dedication is ensuring you are informed and remain compliant with the regulatory updates within our industry.
Like many carriers, we will be updating our product portfolio in 2021 for the 7702 and 7702A (Tax Law) changes that were included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA 2021). As one of our valuable partners, you are receiving this information now to help you plan for a smooth transition for you and your clients.
Portfolio Changes:
We will be introducing a variety of changes, driven by the 7702/7702A changes on September 8, 2021. This primarily impacts cash value accumulation test (CVAT) death benefit factors, guideline premiums and Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) (7 Pay) premiums. At the time, the state of California had not yet approved the new product versions.
Below, you will find a summary of the products that are approved in California as of Dec. 13 and the associated changes.

Transition Rules:
Clients will receive current (prior to December 13, 2021) product versions, if they:
- Submit a signed application (includes completing the TeleLife® interview) and illustration, if necessary.
- Ensure the policy has an effective date of December 12, 2021, or earlier.
Any policy issued with an Effective Date of December 13 or later will receive the new product version.
Illustrations: As of December 13, 2021, the product will no longer be available for new illustrations except through the Protective Life Sales Desk.
Special Considerations:
If a policy is already in the underwriting process, and if you would like to retain the previous product (the product issued prior to December 13, 2021), underwriting may continue past December 13, 2021 if the policy is issued with a policy effective date of December 12, 2021 or earlier.
Standard backdating rules will apply if an effective date of December 12, 2021 or earlier is requested, including premiums being due from the effective date to the current date (of issue).
