Numbers in this example are rounded to the nearest $100. Your payments may differ.
Only one optional feature may be added to a Pacific Income Provider contract. Once the contract is issued, the elections made at the time of purchase cannot be changed.
Additional Information
After the first contract year, there are two ways clients can access additional income.
Income Payment Acceleration
After reaching age 59 1/2 the first contract year, if clients receive monthly annuity payments for at least five years, they may accelerate income payments and receive a lump-sum amount equal to three or six times the normal monthly payment. Please note, for pretax (qualified) contracts, the entire payment acceleration period must be in the same tax year.
- Normal income payments will resume in the fourth or seventh month, respectively.
- Available with all annuity income options.
- This feature can be exercised a maximum of two times.
- After using this feature, clients must receive at least one normal monthly income payment before using the feature again.
The following chart assumes normal monthly payments are $1,000 and demonstrates how the Income Payment Acceleration feature works.
Withdrawals of Guaranteed Income Payments
For nonqualified contracts, clients may make a lump-sum withdrawal of up to 100% of the present value of remaining guaranteed income payments. Not available in OR.
- Available with all options except Life Only, Joint Life Only, or Joint and Survivor Life Only.
- Interest-rate adjustment will apply.
- Owner(s) must be age 59 1/2 or older at the time of the withdrawal.
- Making a withdrawal will lower or may stop the remaining guaranteed income payments. However, with the exception of the Period Certain option, if the client is still living at the end of the period when guaranteed income payments would have stopped, Pacific Life will resume income payments until the annuitant's death.
Please note: If clients elect the Income Payment Acceleration feature, there is a six-month waiting period before they may make a withdrawal. Likewise, if clients make a withdrawal, there is a six-month waiting period before they may elect the Income Payment Acceleration feature.

For Use With Clients
All guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the issuing insurance company.
1For qualified contracts, the maximum length of time for the Period Certain options may not exceed 10 years (9 years for inherited IRA), if necessary, to comply with required minimum distribution (RMD) regulations for annuities stipulated in the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act.
2Not available on qualified contracts.
3For IRA, Roth IRA, and SEP-IRA contracts, joint annuitants are limited to either a spouse, or individual older than or no more than 10 years younger than the primary annuitant.
4An increasing future adjustment is not available for qualified contracts.
Broker/dealer and state variations may apply. Contact your broker/dealer for availability.
Qualified contracts, including traditional IRAs, SEP-IRAs, Roth IRAs, inherited IRAs, and inherited Roth IRAs, are eligible for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Certain payout options and certain product features may not comply with various requirements for qualified contracts, which include required minimum distributions and substantially equal periodic payments under IRC Section 72(t). Therefore, certain product features, including the ability to exercise withdrawal features, may not be available or may have additional restrictions. The payment acceleration feature is available, but will be considered a modification to the 72(t) program and may subject the series of 72(t) withdrawals to an additional 10% federal income tax. In addition, certain payout options may not be available for qualified contracts.
For Roth IRAs, upon the Roth IRA owner’s death, distributions to the designated beneficiaries may be subject to IRS required minimum distribution rules. If the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, the beneficiary may be required to take a lump-sum payment of the present value of the guaranteed payments if a death benefit becomes available. For the purpose of qualified distributions from a Roth IRA, since the five-year waiting period is tracked by the Roth IRA holder, the designated beneficiary and/or spouse who elects to treat the Roth IRA as his or her own will also need to take on this responsibility going forward when claiming qualified distributions.
Income from annuity payments received from Pacific Income Provider cannot be aggregated or combined with income from other IRA contracts/assets for purposes of satisfying the required minimum distributions.
Nonqualified contracts may not be subject to the various requirements for qualified contracts, but are still subject to an additional 10% federal income tax for annuity payments, withdrawals, and other distributions prior to age 59½. While there are exceptions to this additional federal tax under IRC Section 72(q), certain payment options may not comply. The payment acceleration feature may be considered a modification to the 72(q) program and may subject the series of 72(q) withdrawals, including any prior withdrawals, to an additional 10% federal income tax. For nonqualified contracts, an additional 3.8% federal tax may apply on net investment income.
