An income rider is available that provides the option of activating a guaranteed lifetime income stream at a future date. The income payments cannot be outlived and your contract does not need to be annuitized.
During the time in which the annuity is subject to surrender penalties, there are policy provisions that allow partial access on a penalty free basis. Beginning with the first contract year, and each year thereafter, this annuity provides up to 10% (noncumulative) of the contract value may be withdrawn from the annuity each contract year without penalty.
This annuity also waives withdrawal penalties upon death. Your named beneficiary(ies) will receive a death benefit equal to the full accumulation value. A beneficiary may choose to receive their death benefit in either a lump sum or select an available annuitization option.
Details on additional penalty waivers can be found in the Penalty Free Withdrawal Provisions section below.
