Withdrawal Provisions

Free withdrawal allowance
During the first contract year, 10% of the purchase payments may be withdrawn without an early withdrawal charge or MVA. After the first contract year, 10% of the account value on the most recent contract anniversary may be withdrawn without an early withdrawal charge or MVA. The sum of all previous withdrawals during the same contract year will be subtracted to determine the amount available. This free withdrawal allowance is not cumulative, and unused amounts do not carry over to the next contract year.

Withdrawals
Withdrawals are allowed any time prior to the annuity payout initiation date. All withdrawals are subject to IRS regulations, early withdrawal charges, and MVAs. Withdrawals will be taken first from amounts applied to the purchase payment account, then from the interest strategy with the shortest term. If there are multiple interest strategies that meet that criterion, withdrawals will be taken proportionally from all interest strategies with the shortest term. Amounts withdrawn from an interest strategy prior to the end of a term will not be credited with an interest.
Minimum withdrawal: $500; Minimum account value following withdrawal: $5,000.

Waivers

Bail-Out

American Freedom Liberty 5 features a bailout on the indexed strategies. This feature allows the client to withdraw money without penalty from an indexed strategy if the cap for the indexed strategy ever falls below its bailout rate. The bailout rate will always be below the initial cap. If the bailout feature is triggered, we will send a letter and give the client 30 days to withdraw money from that strategy with no early withdrawal charge or MVA.

Terminal Illness

Unavailable in states: MA

Provided that the diagnosis is rendered more than one year after the contract effective date, up to 100% of the account value can be withdrawn without deduction of an early withdrawal charge or MVA if the owner or joint owner is diagnosed by a physician as having a terminal illness with a life expectancy of 12 months or less. This waiver may be used only once.

Extended Care

Unavailable in states: MA

To help ease the strain of certain unforeseen events, an extended care waiver is available for no additional charge. If the owner is confined to a nursing home or other long-term care facility after the completion of the first contract year for at least 90 consecutive days, early withdrawal charges and MVAs may be waived on withdrawals up to a full surrender. The nursing home waiver does not include home health care.
