“Person performing life expectancies” as used in Section 626.99175(4)(d), Florida Statutes, and “individuals who determine life expectancies” as used in Section 626.99175(4)(g)2., Florida Statutes, means a person or individual with the decision making authority to sign or authorize the issuance of a life expectancy or mortality ratings used to determine a life expectancy.

(3) Life Expectancy Provider Triennial Audit of Life Expectancies.

(a) The audit required by Section 626.99175(5), Florida Statutes, must be certified by an actuary who is a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and qualified in the area of determination of life expectancies used in connection with life insurance, pension funding, or other similar enterprises. The actuary’s certification must include a statement that in his or her opinion the techniques and assumptions used to conduct the audit are reasonable and meet the requirements of Section 626.99175(5), Florida Statutes. Any exceptions to the statutory requirements shall be fully explained in detail in the certification.

(b) Should the actuary conducting the audit of the life expectancies find that in his or her professional judgment that the number of predicted deaths associated with such life expectancies would be too small to be actuarially credible and/or if the lag in reporting deaths to the Social Security Administration would result in an actuarially significant underreporting of deaths for those life expectancies, such events shall be detailed in the audit report and certified by the actuary.
