Annuity Suitability Form & Process Improvements — Coming May 17, 2025

We know efficiency and accuracy are important when submitting electronic annuity applications. 

That’s why we are finalizing key improvements to our annuity suitability form.  

Here are the updates launching May 17:  

Streamlined Workflow:  

  • If the funds do not come from a replacement, the form will skip the replacement questions.  
  • The product selection has been moved to the beginning of the process, allowing for automatic pre-population throughout the e-App, reducing the need for duplicate data entry. 
  • When replacing multiple policies, a separate replacement comparison will be generated for each replacing policy—ensuring compliance and accuracy. 
  • Suitability calculations will now include death benefit reductions at older ages. 

 

Automatic Surrender Calculations for Replacements:  

  • The e-App will handle the comparison math for you, helping to minimize errors and save time. 

 

Please note: The new suitability form will be required on WealthChoice paper applications submitted after 3 p.m. on May 16, 2025. If paper applications are received after this deadline with the expired suitability form, it will result in a NIGO requiring the completion and submission of the new suitability form. To help ensure timely and efficient processing, we recommend submitting business through our e-App platform.
