The Flex-Forward Income BenefitSM provides guaranteed income payments that can be that can be used to help optimize other income sources like Social Security or pension payouts.* At issue, an Income Benefit Base is set that equals the single premium plus a 10% Income Benefit Base bonus. Each year, 10% simple interest roll ups occur to the Income Benefit Base for up to 10 years or until rider exercise, whichever comes first. The rider provides guaranteed income payments in two phases—the Early Income Period and the Lifetime Income Period.
At the time of rider exercise, the client chooses the Early Income Amount (subject to a maximum and a minimum) and the number of years of the Early Income Period (up to 8 years). When the Early Income Period ends, the rider will provide guaranteed income payments equal to the Lifetime Income Amount. The more income the client receives during the Early Income Period, by choosing a longer Early Income Period or a higher Early Income Amount, the less they will receive during the Lifetime Income Period. The rider uses a unique calculation based on the Annual Benefit Percentage and other factors. The youngest covered person must be age 70 or below at rider exercise to be eligible for the Early Income Feature.1 If the rider is exercised at age 71 or older, payments will be set at the Lifetime Income Amount.
The Flex-Forward Income Benefit is only available to issue ages 50-70 of youngest covered person and has an additional annual fee equal to 0.95% of the Income Benefit Base.2

1 If the client exercises their rider and starts taking Early Income Amount payments before the youngest Covered Person turns 59½, they may be subject to tax penalties. Please be sure to encourage your clients to discuss their situation with a tax advisor prior to exercising their rider.
2 The Income Benefit Base is a calculated value used solely to determine the guaranteed lifetime income payment and rider fee and is not available for withdrawal. Prior to exercising the rider, your client can help to maximize their potential guaranteed lifetime income payment by minimizing withdrawals as all withdrawals, including free withdrawals and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), are taken from the annuity’s contract value and will also reduce the Income Benefit Base.

The Income Horizon rider offers two options: Early and Later.3 They offer access to guaranteed income payments of a specific amount every year for life once exercised, if certain conditions are met, as well as growth of the potential guaranteed income payments’ amount when your client waits to exercise the rider. At issue, an Income Benefit Base is set that equals the single premium, plus a 10% Income Benefit Base bonus. Each year, 10% simple interest roll ups occur to the Income Benefit base for up to up to 10 years or until rider exercise, whichever comes first.4 Generally, Income Horizon: Early may be suitable if your client plans to begin guaranteed income payments within the first three years after contract issue. Income Horizon: Later may be suitable if your client plans to wait four years or more before beginning guaranteed income payments.
Upon exercise, the guaranteed amount your client will be able to withdraw each year is called the Annual Benefit Amount (ABA). The ABA is a percentage of the contract’s Income Benefit Base. To determine the ABA, multiply the Income Benefit Base by the appropriate ABA percentage based on the age at issue and age at rider exercise of the youngest covered person, single or spousal option, and rider elected.
Both Income Horizon: Early and Income Horizon: Later have an annual fee equal to 0.95% of the Income Benefit Base.4
