Within five business days of receiving a replacement notice, the insurer shall send the policy or contract owner a letter advising the owner of the right to receive information about the existing policy or contract values including, if available, an in-force illustration or a policy summary if an in-force illustration cannot be produced. The insurer shall provide the policy or contract owner with this information within five business days of the receipt of a request from the policy or contract owner.
3. On receipt of a request to borrow, surrender or withdraw any policy values, the insurer shall send a notice advising the policy owner that a release of policy values may affect the guaranteed elements, nonguaranteed elements, face amount or surrender value of the policy from which the values are released.
