Insurance Plan Is Recommended for Illinois Life Reinsurance
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson heard a report from Gen. Abel Davis and an advisory board recommending the central life assurance society of Des Moines reinsure 75,000 Illinois life policyholders. The Iowa mutual would pay deaths in full on a 30 month plan and hold policy loans in moratorium until 1988, liquidate assets by 1947, and align Illinois life holders with Iowa plans. The proposal aims to avoid reducing average coverage from about $2,000 to under $1,000, a change deemed unmanageable by reinsurers.
