Available Spousal Continuation

Death before the contract maturity date
A death benefit will be paid upon the death of a contract owner, or annuitant if the contract is owned by a trust, following the date the company receives a certified death certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The death benefit is equal to the greater of the contract value or the total guaranteed value (TGV) as of the date of death. No surrender charge or MVA will apply.
Death on or after the contract maturity date
If the owner dies on or after the contract maturity date, any remaining annuity payments will be paid to the beneficiary under the payment option in effect on the date of death.
