Income Payments are calculated at inception of the contract and will not vary until the
payment is next levelized. The available frequencies in which the payout will be
levelized are specified in
LevelizationProductOption>PaymentModeMethProduct>PaymentMode. For example, income
payments are calculated annually at the beginning of each annuity year and will not vary
during an annuity year. Each income payment (paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or
annually) will remain level during an annuity year, but may increase or decrease the next
annuity year. An Assumed Interest Rate is selected for the levelization calculation. |
