**Overview of the Contract** 

**Purpose of the Contract** 

The Contract is a tax-deferred variable annuity contract. It is designed for retirement planning purposes and to help you accumulate assets through investments in the underlying Investment Accounts. You make investments in the Contract's Investment Accounts during the Accumulation Period. The value of your investments or Accumulation is used to calculate your benefits under the Contract. At the end of the accumulation phase, we use your Accumulation to calculate the payments that we make during the annuity period. These payments can provide or supplement your retirement income. Generally speaking, the longer your accumulation phase, the greater your Accumulation may be for setting your annuity payouts. The Contract includes a standard death benefit to help financially protect your designated Beneficiary.

This Contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon. Any withdrawals made during the accumulation phase will reduce the Accumulation in your Contract. Because withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10% premature distribution tax penalty on early withdrawals if taken before age 59<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>, the Contract is not intended for individuals who may need to access invested funds within a short-term timeframe or on a frequent basis. In addition, the Contract is not intended for individuals who intend to engage in frequent transfers of the Investment Accounts.

Your financial goal in acquiring the Contract should be consistent with a long-term insurance product for retirement income or other long-term investment purposes offering the prospect of investment growth through payment of Premiums.

**Phases of the Contract** 

The Contract has two phases: (1) an accumulation phase (for savings) and (2) an annuity phase (for income).

**Accumulation phase** 

During the accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. Premium payments made during the accumulation phase are subject to your employer's plan and IRC limits and may continue until the annuity starting date.

To accumulate value during the accumulation phase, you may allocate your Premiums and earnings in the Investment Accounts of the Separate Account that are available under your employer's plan, which, in turn, invest in one or more of the Underlying Funds that have different investment strategies, objectives and risk profiles. You may allocate all or part of your Premiums and Contract value to the Investment Accounts, the TIAA Traditional Annuity and the TIAA Real Estate Account. Amounts that you allocate to Investment Accounts will increase or decrease in dollar value depending in part on the investment performance of each Underlying Fund in which such Separate Account invests.

TIAA Access ∎ Initial Summary Prospectus 5

------

You bear the risk of any decline in your Accumulation of your Contract resulting from the performance of the Underlying Funds you have chosen. Your Accumulation could decline significantly, and there is a risk of loss of the entire amount invested. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of each Underlying Fund carefully before making an investment decision. Additional information about each Underlying Fund is provided in "Appendix A—Funds available under the Contract."

**Annuity phase** 

You enter the income phase when you annuitize your Contract. The annuity phase, also referred to as the annuity period, occurs after the annuity starting date and when you or a second Annuitant begin receiving regular annuity payments from your Contract. During the annuity phase, you will receive a stream of fixed income payments for the annuity payout period of time you elect. Subject to the provisions under your Contract and your employer's plan, you can elect any one of the following payment income options to receive annuity payments: (1) one-life annuity with or without a Guaranteed Period; (2) annuity for a fixed period; (3) two-life annuities; (4) a minimum distribution; and (5) lump-sum payments.

Please note that when you annuitize, your Accumulation will be converted to income payments. If you elect partial annuitization, you may apply a portion of your Accumulation to one of the income options that we offer, while the remainder of your Accumulation can remain invested in your Investment Accounts. If you annuitize your entire Accumulation, generally, you will no longer be able to make withdrawals from your Contract and all accumulation phase benefits terminate, including the death benefit.

Subject to the provisions of your employer's plan, you may elect an Income Test Drive, an optional feature that provides variable payments to you for a 2 year period by taking withdrawals from your Contract. (See "Income Test Drive," below.)

**Contract features** 

The Contract provides for the Accumulation of retirement savings and income. The Contract offers income, death benefit protection and various payout options.

Accessing Your Money. Before your Contract is annuitized, you can take withdrawals from your Contract. Withdrawals will reduce your account value, will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10% premature distribution tax penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>.

Internal Transfers. Subject to the provisions under your Contract, you may transfer Accumulation Units, generally not less than $1,000, from one Investment Account to another Investment Account or to your companion TIAA contract, either the TIAA Traditional Annuity or the TIAA Real Estate Account. Internal transfers may be restricted to not more than one transfer in a calendar quarter and may be subject to a redemption charge by the Underlying Funds.

Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between Investment Accounts without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are taxed only upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) surrender of the Contract; (3) receipt of an income payment from the Contract; or (4) payment of a death benefit.

Death Benefits. The Contract includes a standard death benefit, which will pay a death benefit to your designated Beneficiary at the time of your death.

Loans. To the extent your employer's plan provides and in accordance with certain other conditions, you may request a loan from your available Investment Account Accumulation. The loan must be requested before your annuity starting date. The loan will be issued in accordance with the terms of a loan agreement and the loan agreement will describe the terms, conditions and any fees or charges for the loan.

**Additional benefits** 

Systematic Withdrawals. Subject to the provisions under your Contract, you may have withdrawals redeemed from one or more of the Investment Accounts on a systematic basis. Systematic withdrawals are generally subject to a minimum amount of $100 and may be scheduled to be paid semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Systematic withdrawals may be subject to a redemption charge, which may be imposed by the Underlying Funds and not by TIAA or the Separate Account. Withdrawals will lower your Accumulation, will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10% premature distribution tax penalty if taken before age 59<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>.

Systematic Transfers. Subject to the provisions under your Contract, systematic transfers are generally subject to a minimum amount of $100. Systematic transfers may be scheduled semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Systematic transfers may be subject to a redemption charge, which may be imposed by the Underlying Funds and not by TIAA or the Separate Account.

Systematic Withdrawals to Pay Advisory Fees. Subject to the provisions under your Contract, you may authorize a series of systematic withdrawals to pay the fees of your financial advisor. Withdrawals will lower your Accumulation.

**Buying the Contract** 

The Contract is a tax-deferred variable annuity, which is generally offered to individuals and groups that are employees of colleges, universities, other educational and research organizations, and other governmental and nonprofit institutions. You or Your Employer can purchase a Contract in connection with tax-qualified pension plans under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") sections 401(a)/403(a) (including 401(k) plans), and plans under IRC sections 403(b), 414(d), 415(m), 457(b), or 457(f). Generally, we will issue a Contract when we receive a completed application or enrollment form in Good Order together with the initial premium.

"Good Order" means actual receipt of the transaction request along with all information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes your complete application and any other information or supporting documentation we may require.

If your application is incomplete and we do not receive the necessary information and signed application in Good Order within five Business Days of our receipt of the initial premium, we will return the initial premium at that time. In most cases, TIAA accepts Premiums to the Contract during your Accumulation Period. Once your initial premium has been paid, your TIAA Contract cannot lapse or be forfeited for nonpayment of Premiums.

**Minimum initial and subsequent premiums** 

Initial Premium. The minimum initial premium generally must be at least $100.

Subsequent premiums. Subsequent premium payments may be in any amount not less than $100, subject to your employer's plan and IRC limits and may continue until the annuity starting date. Premiums received before the close of the Business Day (typically 4:00 pm eastern) will be credited that Business Day. Premiums received after the close of the Business Day will be credited the next Business Day. Once your initial premium has been paid, your Contract cannot lapse or be forfeited for nonpayment of Premiums.

Currently, TIAA does not restrict the amount or frequency of Premiums contributed to your Contract, although it reserves the right to impose restrictions. TIAA reserves the right to limit to $300,000 the total Premiums paid on this and any other TIAA unit-annuity on your life in any twelve-month period. Your employer's retirement plan may limit your premium amounts. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limits the total annual Premiums to plans qualified for favorable tax treatment.

Allocation of Premiums. Your Premiums are allocated among the available investment accounts offered under your employer's plan and according to the most recent valid instructions we have received from you in a form acceptable to us. Premiums allocated to an Investment Account purchase Accumulation Units in that account. You may change your allocation for future Premiums at any time.

Restrictions and/or Limitations. We cannot accept credit cards, cash, money orders, travelers checks or digital (including virtual or crypto) currencies (e.g., Bitcoin). In addition, we will not accept a third-party check where the relationship of the payor to the contract owner cannot be identified from the face of the check.

**Making withdrawals: accessing the money in your Contract** 

Withdrawals. You may withdraw all or part of your Contract Accumulation on or before the day your income benefits begin. We do not charge a fee on withdrawals or the surrender of your Contract. Withdrawals will lower your Accumulation and your death benefit.

A withdrawal generally must be at least $1,000 and may be up to the entire account Accumulation. If you are married and if some or all of your Accumulation is subject to ERISA, your right to receive a lump-sum benefit is subject to the rights of your spouse.

Any request for a lump-sum benefit must be made by written notice to TIAA on or before your income benefits begin. A lump-sum benefit will be effective as of the Business Day on which we receive it in a form acceptable to TIAA. TIAA reserves the right to limit lump-sum benefits from each account to not more than one in a calendar quarter. A lump-sum benefit will not be available before the earliest date permitted under your employer plan. The portion of your Accumulation available to you as a lump-sum benefit may be limited by your employer's plan.

We usually pay the amounts of any withdrawal, death benefits or transfers from the Investment Account within 7 days after we receive, in Good Order, all applicable acceptable notices.

Withdrawals may reduce the value of your Contract, will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a penalty tax if taken under age 59<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>.

Systematic Withdrawals*.* Systematic withdrawals generally must be at least $100 and may be scheduled to be paid semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. If you are married and if some or all of your Accumulation is subject to ERISA, your right to receive a lump-sum benefit is subject to the rights of your spouse. Withdrawals may reduce the value of your Contract, will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a penalty tax if taken before age 59<sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>.

**Additional information about fees** 

**The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering, or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your plan documents for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.**

**Example** 

**This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, Annual Contract Expenses, and Annual Fund Expenses. The fees and expenses in this Example do not reflect any advisory fees you may elect to pay financial intermediaries.** 

**The Example for each Contract Level assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example for each Contract Level also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of Annual Fund Expenses and elected optional benefits and the least expensive combination of Annual Fund Expenses and no elected optional benefit. We do not impose a surrender charge when you make a withdrawal nor do we charge for any elected optional benefit under the Contract. As a result, your Contract value would be the same whether or not you surrender, or annuitize at the end of the applicable time period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your cost would be:**
