Supplement dated November 16, 2015 to the prospectus dated May 1, 2015, as supplemented

This supplement to the prospectus for your individual variable annuity contract outlines changes to the   Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage rider (“LTC rider”) for contracts sold in the state of California. This supplement does not impact contractowners outside the state of California. It is for informational purposes, and requires no action on your part.

OVERVIEW

The following provisions apply to Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage riders sold in the state of California. All other provisions not discussed in the Supplement remain unchanged.

1.   The highest current percentage Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge is 0.13%.

2.   The minimum Purchase Payment if you purchase the LTC rider is $75,000.

3.   Contractowners in California may request up to 100% of the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit amount for Assisted Living Services.

4.   State-specific Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit rates and calculations will apply.

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES

The provisions listed above result in the following changes that are incorporated into the specified sections of your prospectus.

Expense Tables – The Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge entry on Expense Table A is revised as follows:

	Single Life	Joint Life
Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage
Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge*
Guaranteed Minimum Annual Charge ………………………………..	N/A	N/A
Current Charge (Contractowners ages 70-74) …………………	0.13%	N/A

*The Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge percentage rate is assessed against the Extension Benefit as of the date the charge is deducted. The charge varies based upon your age as of the contract date. There is no maximum guaranteed charge for the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit. The current Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge percentage rate may increase after the contract date subject to prior state regulatory approval, although it will be the same for all Contractowners in the same class as determined in a nondiscriminatory manner. We will give you 30 days written notice of our intent to raise the percentage rate. The highest current percentage charge will be 0.13% (0.0325% quarterly) for the state of California, and 0.11% (0.0275% quarterly) for contracts issued in the following states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, DC, DE, GA, IA, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, WV, WY. For all other states, the highest percentage charge will be 0.12% (0.03% quarterly). See Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges – Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage Charges for additional information.

Examples

The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contractowner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate account annual expenses, and fund fees and expenses. The Example has been calculated using the fees and expenses of the funds prior to the application of any contractual waivers and/or reimbursements.

The Example assumes you have purchased the LTC Rider and have elected either the Growth Benefit option or the Level Benefit option. The Example also assumes that you are age 69 (Growth Benefit option) or age 74 (Level Benefit option) and invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Example assumes a 5% return each year, the maximum fees and expenses of any of the funds, election of the Optional Nonforfeiture provision, and that EGMDB Death Benefit is in effect. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1)   If you surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

	1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
Growth Benefit Option	$1,189	$2,447	$3,679	$6,636
Level Benefit Option	$1,238	$2,589	$3,905	$7,038

2)   If you annuitize or do not surrender your contract at the end of the applicable time period:

	1 year	3 years	5 years	10 years
Growth Benefit Option	$1,189	$2,447	$3,679	$6,636
Level Benefit Option	$1,238	$2,589	$3,905	$7,038

Charges and Other Deductions – Rider Charges - Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage charge. The chart below replaces the same chart in the Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge paragraph of the Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage charge section.

Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge: 100% Benefit for Assisted Living Services
Age on Contract Date	Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charge
	California	All other states
45-49	0.06%	0.05%
50-54	0.06%	0.05%
55-59	0.07%	0.06%
60-64	0.07%	0.06%
65-69	0.10%	0.09%
70-74	0.13%	0.12%

The Contracts – Living Benefit Riders - Lincoln Long-Term CareSM Advantage – The following changes are made to the specified paragraphs of this section.

Limitations on Purchase Payments. The third sentence of this paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following sentence: The minimum Purchase Payment amount under a contract if you purchase the LTC Rider is $50,000 ($75,000 in California and South Dakota), and the maximum amount of cumulative Purchase Payments that can be made during that 90-day period is $400,000.

Nonforfeiture Benefit. The following information is added to the Nonforfeiture Benefit paragraph:

In the state of California, the Nonforfeiture Benefit amount is the greater of:

·   the Maximum Monthly Level Benefit in effect on the date the Contractowner fully surrendered or annuitized the contract, multiplied by either;

o   1, if the contract is fully surrendered or annuitized prior to the 10th rider date anniversary; or

o   3, if the contract is fully surrendered or annuitized on or after the 10th rider date anniversary; or

·   an amount equal to the sum of all Extension Benefit Charges and Optional Nonforfeiture Benefit Charges paid for the LTC Rider minus any Extension Benefits paid prior to the date the Contractowner fully surrendered or annuitized the contract.

Please keep this Supplement for future reference.

Item 28. Indemnification

a) Brief description of indemnification provisions.

In general, Article VII of the By-Laws of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Life or Company) provides that Lincoln Life will indemnify certain persons against expenses, judgments and certain other specified costs incurred by any such person if he/she is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he/she was a director, officer, or employee of Lincoln Life, as long as he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of, or act opposed to the best interests of, Lincoln Life. Certain additional conditions apply to indemnification in criminal proceedings.

In particular, separate conditions govern indemnification of directors, officers, and employees of Lincoln Life in connection with suits by, or in the right of, Lincoln Life.

Please refer to Article VII of the By-Laws of Lincoln Life (Exhibit no. 6(b) hereto) for the full text of the indemnification provisions. Indemnification is permitted by, and is subject to the requirements of, Indiana law.

b) Undertaking pursuant to Rule 484 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933:

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 28(a) above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
