Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA)
   Print-friendly Verison

What is an SPIA?

The Single Premium Immediate Annuity (SPIA) is designed so that you make one premium payment of $5,000 or more, and then receive a guaranteed 1 stream of income payments, including principal and interest, right away.

Things to Consider About an SPIA:
The guaranteed period during which income payments are made depends on the payment option you select. The income payment amount and frequency of payments that you choose are fixed at the time you purchase the annuity. This annuity cannot be surrendered once payments begin. If you die before all payments have been made, any remaining guaranteed 1 amounts will be paid to your beneficiaries according to the terms of your income payment option.

The income payment options available include:

  • Life Income

    You can elect to receive income payments for as long as you live, with payments guaranteed 1 for a specific number of years, such as 10, 15 or 20. If you die prior to the end of the selected time period, your beneficiaries will receive payments for the balance of the guaranteed period.

  • A Designated Time Period

    Proceeds are paid in equal installments for a designated number of years, such as 10, 15 or 20.

  • Joint and Survivor Life Income

    Payments are made to you and another payee for as long as one or both of you live. Upon the death of either payee, payments continue to the survivor while he or she is living. Payments cease upon the death of the second payee.

  • Three Percent Increasing Payment of Life Income

    You receive lifetime income with payments guaranteed 1 for a certain time period, such as 10, 15 or 20 years. Payments increase by three percent each year to help keep pace with inflation.
