Waivers
Nursing Home
To access your funds if the annuitant is confined to a qualified nursing home or hospital, the annuitant must: 1) Be admitted to a qualified nursing facility after the contract issue date and remain confined to the qualified facility for 90 consecutive days. 2) The annuitant must have been age 74 or younger when your contract was issued. If both of the conditions above are met, the owner may withdraw up to 25% of the annuity value penalty-free in each year that the annuitant remains confined to a qualified nursing home or hospital. The nursing home waiver does not include home health care.
Terminal Illness
You may access your entire annuity value after the first contract year if the annuitant is diagnosed as having a terminal illness by a qualified physician and such diagnosis occurred after the contract issue date. Terminal illness means a condition that is reasonably expected to result in death within twelve months. If you are not the annuitant, the annuitant must qualify in order for this benefit to apply.
Premium Notes
Your annuity contract provides a minimum value equal to 100% of the premium paid, less withdrawals and early withdrawal penalties or if greater, 87.5% of your premium, less withdrawals accumulated at the nonforfeiture rate. In either case, the minimum guaranteed value will be reduced by any applicable premium tax.
