Waivers
Nursing Home
Unavailable in states: CT, and MA
After the first contract year, we will waive the withdrawal charge if you or the joint owner becomes confined to a hospital and/or nursing home for at least 90 consecutive days. Confinement must start after the first contract year. Available to purchasers age 80 or younger at contract issue. The nursing home waiver does not include home health care. Not available in all states. Other restrictions apply. See the prospectus for more details.
Terminal Illness
Unavailable in states: CT, MA, TX, and WA
After the first contract year, we will waive the withdrawal charge if you or the joint owner becomes terminally ill and is not expected to live more than 12 months. Available to purchasers age 80 or younger at contract issue. Not available in all states. Other restrictions apply. See the prospectus for more details.
Withdrawal Provisions
Free Withdrawals: After the first contract year, the Free Withdrawal Amount is equal to 10% of the account value as of the prior contract anniversary. In addition, there are other situations where a withdrawal charge may not apply.
Annual Benefit Payments: On and after the Annual Benefit Commencement Date, you can withdraw up to the Annual Benefit Payment in a contract year without impacting your Benefit Base and Net Purchase Payment Amount (if applicable). Refer to the “Annual Benefit Payments” section for more details.
Automated Withdrawals: On and after the Annual Benefit Commencement Date, you can schedule monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual withdrawals up to the Annual Benefit Payment. Payments may be taken from specified Shield Options and/or the Fixed Account, or proportionally from all Shield Options and the Fixed Account, as allocated. Additionally, automated withdrawals may be set up to satisfy required minimum distributions (RMDs).
Fixed Account Automated Withdrawal Processing: As an alternative to automated withdrawals outlined above, you may elect to have your Annual Benefit Payment processed from the Fixed Account, if available. On each contract anniversary, an amount equal to your Annual Benefit Payment will be transferred proportionately from your Shield Options to the Fixed Account. Your payments will be made from the Fixed Account based on the frequency you elect. The use of Fixed Account automated withdrawal processing is optional, may only begin on a contract anniversary, and is only allowed if the entire Annual Benefit Payment is transferred to the Fixed Account and fully withdrawn during the contract year.
