Once all necessary documentation is received, your claim will be reviewed
for completeness.

Claims for variable annuity contracts deemed to be in good order and received before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will be processed that day. Claims for fixed annuity contracts deemed in good order will be processed within three business days.

Please note that failure to provide the required documentation in good order will delay the settlement of your claim. Extended delays can result in your claim proceeds being paid to applicable state agencies in accordance with state unclaimed
property laws.
