Exchange Your Income Rider for a SPIA: Shootin' It Straight With Stan

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed: 

• The Income Rider and the accumulation value 

• Two numbers you need before you transfer to SPIA

• Calculating a SPIA quote 

• When you should transfer to a SPIA

Key Takeaways: 

• The Income Rider is an attachment to a policy that guarantees a lifetime income stream but it’s a separate calculation from the accumulation value. The accumulation value in simple terms is the real money. 

• Take the accumulation value of the policy and ask the company to give you two guaranteed contractual numbers: first is the Income Rider number of what the lifetime income stream would be, and second, the annuitization number if you took that accumulation value and converted it to a SPIA. 

• After requesting those two numbers, you can run a SPIA quote using the calculator found at this link: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculators 

• You must only transfer from an Income Rider to a SPIA if you will be given a higher contractually guaranteed amount. Do a comparison first before transferring. Stay with your current policy if a transfer wouldn’t provide a higher contractual guarantee. 

"Stay where you are and turn on the Income Rider when you need income. But there are going to be situations like what John Lenz ran into where we can beat the Income Rider using the accumulation value in a SPIA, quoting all carriers." —  Stan The Annuity Man.
