•  You should carefully review the Personal Income Benefit prospectus for 403(b) plans provided before applying for the Personal Income Benefit contract.

 

•  Participants must be at least age 20, but not older than age 85 to enroll.

 

•  There is a charge for the Personal Income Benefit, which will be deducted from a Participant’s Annuity Account Value invested in the Variable Investment Options on a pro rata basis on the anniversary of each Participation Year. Check with your financial professional for additional information.

 

•  In order for Participants to begin taking GAWA payments, all amounts must be fully vested and a Participant must be at least age 59 12. Your plan may have additional restrictions that apply.
