What are my options for retirement income?

There are several options for retirement income. Depending on your retirement plan, you may have the option of a Life Income Annuity, Fixed Period Income Annuity, and/or a Systematic Withdrawal. 

  • Life Income Annuities are payable for either one (Single Life) or two (Joint Life ) lives, and include several options:
    • Cash Refund
    • Specified Period
    • Annual Increase
    • Fixed Period Income
  • Systematic Withdrawals include three basic options:
    • Equal payments of a specified amount
    • Percentage of total vested contribution amounts
    • Paid out over a specified period of time
