Free Withdrawals
Cumulative interest earned may be withdrawn at any time without Surrender Charge or MVA, either systematically or as a single withdrawal. Single withdrawals can be requested at any time, but must be at least $250 per request. Systematic withdrawals are available monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, and must be taken EFT.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA)
Certainty Select contains a feature called the Market Value Adjustment, or MVA. The MVA is applied to both early surrenders and to withdrawals that exceed the free-withdrawal amount. The MVA feature allows EquiTrust Life to credit a higher rate of interest to these annuities. Ask your agent for more details on the MVA, or refer to your contract.
Death Benefit
Upon death of first Owner, Accumulation Value.

Applicable beneficiaries now fall under two categories: Eligible and Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries.
Stretch IRA is available only to Eligible Designated Beneficiaries.
Inherited IRA is available to Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries – withdrawal or taxation of funds by 12/31 of the 10th year following the IRA owner’s death now applies to Ineligible Designated Beneficiaries.
TSP funds have to be rolled over or transferred into an IRA.
