Waivers
Bail-Out
Index Protector 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 penalty-free.
Terminal Illness
Unavailable in states: MA
100% account value when criteria met
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, any negative MVAs may be waived upon surrender or annuitization of the contract. The nursing home waiver does not include home health care.
