Two Ways to Protect Your Retirement Income


Lifetime income guarantees and qualified longevity annuity contracts (QLACs) are two solutions from MetLife that allow you to convert some or all of your Investment Plan balance during retirement into payments to you for your lifetime or payments to your survivor after your death.
 
The examples below assume a $100,000 Investment Plan balance on June 30, 2025, for a 65-year-old female. Joint and Survivor payments assume the designated survivor is a 65-year-old spouse. Your actual quotes will be based on things like your age, your account balance, and your specific circumstances. Please note that other payment options and features are available.
 
Lifetime Income Guarantee
Payments begin at age 65		 QLAC
Payments begin at age 75
Single Life — lifetime payments to you $642 $1,542
Joint & Survivor — lifetime payments to you that continue to your survivor after your death $562 $1,175
To learn more about these options, or to purchase one, call the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line at 1-866-446-9377, Option 2 (TRS 711).
