Guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit

The withdrawal amount is calculated as a percentage of the income benefit base.1 On each rider anniversary, the income benefit base may either be:
  • Reset to the contract value, if it's greater than the current income benefit base, OR
  • Remain the same if the current income benefit base is greater

A Non-Lifetime Withdrawal feature is available after the rider's 1-year anniversary and can only be exercised once. The income benefit base will be reduced proportionally. To use this feature, you must be 59½ or older.2
