Abstract: RP 2008-40 allows issuers of life insurance contracts that have failed to meet the definition of life insurance contract under section 7702 or to satisfy the requirements of section 101(f) of the IRC to cure these contracts so that they do not fail section 7702 or section 101(f). RP 2008-38 allows issuers of variable contracts that have failed to meet the diversification requirements of section 817(h) to cure these contracts so that they do not fail section 817(h). RP 2008-39 allows issuers of life insurance contracts whose contracts have failed to meet the tests of section 7702A to cure these contracts that have inadvertently become modified endowment contracts. Rev. Proc. 2008-41 provides a procedure by which an issuer of a variable contract may remedy an inadvertent failure of a variable contract to meet the diversification requirements of section 817(h). RP 2008-42 provides guidance.
