Clients can also elect an optional lifetime income benefit, available for an additional cost, that can help address financial risks in retirement and provide protected income for life. 

 

If death occurs before annuity income payments begin, the death benefit options below are payable upon the death of the first owner or sole annuitant. For contracts owned by a non-natural owner (for example, a trust), the death benefit is payable upon the death of the first annuitant.

 

Standard Death Benefit

This death benefit is included with the contract and offers the greater of:

  • The contract value.
  • The total of all purchase payments into the contract, adjusted for withdrawals. The adjustment is proportionate and may be more or less than the actual amount withdrawn.

 

Optional Death Benefit

For an additional cost, this benefit offers:

  • Stepped-Up Death Benefit—to lock in gains.

 

Regardless of the death benefit option, if the owner is not an annuitant and the owner dies prior to annuitization, the death benefit amount will equal the contract value.

 

Nonqualified: $25,000 initial; $250 subsequent

Qualified: $25,000 initial; $50 subsequent

For aggregate purchase payments totaling more than $1 million, contact Pacific Life for approval.

1Up to 25 transfers each calendar year. Clients do not pay any current income tax for transfers and any earnings are generally tax deferred. Taxes are incurred when a withdrawal is made or the contract is surrendered, an income payment from the contract is received, or upon payment of a death benefit.

Pacific Life, its affiliates, their distributors, and respective representatives do not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice. Any taxpayer should seek advice based on the taxpayer’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor or attorney.

Pacific Life is a product provider. It is not a fiduciary and therefore does not give advice or make recommendations regarding insurance or investment products.

Investors should carefully consider a variable annuity’s risks, charges, limitations, and expenses, as well as the risks, charges, expenses, and investment goals of the underlying investment options. This and other information about Pacific Life are provided in the product and underlying fund prospectuses. These prospectuses should be read carefully before investing.

Variable annuities are long-term contracts designed for retirement. The value of the variable investment options will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Annuity withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including death benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income. If withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal income tax may apply. A withdrawal charge also may apply. Withdrawals will reduce the contract value and the value of the death benefits, and also may reduce the value of any optional benefits

Under current law, a nonqualified annuity that is owned by an individual is generally entitled to tax deferral. IRAs and qualified plans—such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s—are already tax deferred. Therefore, a deferred annuity should be used only to fund an IRA or qualified plan to benefit from the annuity’s features other than tax deferral. These features include lifetime income, death benefit options, and the ability to transfer among investment options without sales or withdrawal charges.

Pacific Life Insurance Company reserves the right to change or modify any non-guaranteed or current element. The right to modify these elements is not limited to a certain time or reason.
