Two Ways to Protect Your Retirement Income


Lifetime Income Guarantee

A lifetime income guarantee (offered by MetLife) lets you convert some or all of your Investment Plan balance into a stream of future payments that could last your lifetime.
 
For example, a lifetime income guarantee purchased at age 65 with $100,000 of your Investment Plan balance would pay you: Single Life
$5011 monthly
 payments for life beginning at age 65; upon death, payments would cease 		Joint & Survivor
$4221 monthly
payments for life beginning at age 65; upon death, payments of $422 would continue to your survivor for life

Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract (QLAC)

A qualified longevity annuity contract (QLAC), also from MetLife, lets you defer receipt of your guaranteed monthly payments to a later age. QLACs are limited to $145,000 or 25% of your Investment Plan balance (whichever is less).
 
For example, a lifetime income guarantee QLAC purchased at age 65 with $100,000 of your Investment Plan balance would pay you: Single Life
$1,0141 monthly
 payments for life beginning at age 75; upon death, payments would cease 		Joint & Survivor
$7451 monthly
payments for life beginning at age 75; upon death, payments of $7451 would continue to your survivor for life
To learn more about these options, or to purchase one, call the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line at 1-866-446-9377, Option 2.
