Protection for you and your spouse: With the joint life option, your spouse will continue to receive payments if they outlive you. And, unlike some other guaranteed income products, any remaining balance will go to your beneficiaries.

Important information: Guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing companies.

The market value of your account is never guaranteed and fluctuates based on investment performance. While you can withdraw the market value of your account at any time without any fees or penalties, doing so will cause you to lose the income guarantee. Your income base is never available for withdrawal, but is only used for calculating your income.

You will be able to elect to receive income any time after age 65. If you elect the joint option, your payout will be lower than 5%, depending on you and your spouse’s ages. If you withdraw more than the guaranteed annual income in any year, your income base and future guaranteed annual income will decrease. However, if your required minimum distribution exceeds your guaranteed income amount, your income base will not be affected and your payments will not be lowered.*

If invested in one of the Target Date Funds, when you turn age 65 and again at the time you elect to receive income, if you are not already invested in the 5ForLife In Retirement Fund, investment exchanges will automatically occur to move funds from any other 5ForLife funds to the 5ForLife In Retirement Fund, except for investments in the Balanced Fund and the MAS Share Class. If invested in the Balanced Fund or the MAS Share Class, no investment exchanges will occur at age 65 for assets in these funds. If you make investment exchanges out of any 5ForLife fund into a non-5ForLife fund, you may not make an investment exchange back into any 5ForLife fund within 90 calendar days. Exchanges out of any 5ForLife funds also affect your income base and could reduce or eliminate the guaranteed income payments. If the income base is reduced to zero, the guaranteed lifetime income benefit is terminated.

You may be able to roll over your balance to another retirement plan that offers Income America 5ForLife and retain the income guarantee, or to an IRA or plan that offers an option to retain the income benefit base and payout rate; however, the retirement plan or issuing insurer’s IRA solution may have different investments, fees, and other features.

*Note that the timing of required minimum distributions taken from this investment option could adversely affect both your income base and your guaranteed income amount in certain situations. Please contact your plan representative for more details.
