If you do not select a date for payments to begin, AIP will start five Business Days after we receive your request in Good Order. However, AIP cannot begin on the 29<sup>th</sup>, 30<sup>th</sup>, or 31<sup>st</sup> of the month.

This update applies to the following products that have Joint Owners and have Contract numbers starting with GA, GAZ, DA, or DAZ.

Currently, for withdrawals, we send one check payable to both Joint Owners and report taxes to both based on the older Joint Owner's age. Beginning April 6, 2026, each Joint Owner will receive a separate check for half the withdrawal amount. We will also report taxes to each Joint Owner individually. ***Reporting taxes to each Joint Owner individually can create a difference in tax treatment if only one Joint Owner is under age 59½, as that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax. Please consult a tax professional about the tax implications of taking withdrawals.***

This update applies to the following products that have Joint Owners and have Contract numbers starting with GA, GAZ, DA, or DAZ.

Currently, when Joint Owners are Payees for Annuity Payments, we send one check payable to both Joint Owners and report taxes to both based on the older Joint Owner's age. Beginning April 6, 2026, for all existing fixed Annuity Payments (including GMIB Payments) and LIB Payments, and for any new fixed Annuity Payments or LIB Payments, each Joint Owner/Payee will receive a separate check for half the Annuity Payment, and we will report taxes to each Joint Owner individually. We will also report taxes individually when Joint Owners are not Payees.

We will not change the number of checks or the tax reporting for existing or new variable Annuity Payments to Joint Owner/Payees.

***Reporting taxes to each Joint Owner individually can create a difference in tax treatment if only one Joint Owner is under age 59½, as that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax. Please consult a tax professional about the tax implications of receiving Annuity Payments.***
