PlanGap® Annuity
A PlanGap® innovation offered by American Life
The PlanGap® Annuity is the first annuity that has a bonus providing protection against reductions in your Social Security benefits.
For individuals looking for a simple and secure way to manage their money into retirement, American Life offers the PlanGap® Annuity, an innovative Fixed Deferred Annuity with a Multi-Year Rate Guarantee (MYGA). The PlanGap® Annuity provides a low-risk and predictable return, while providing protection against Social Security benefit reduction.
What Makes PlanGap® Different?
The PlanGap® Annuity* is the first annuity that has a bonus providing protection against reductions in your Social Security benefits and a Flexibility Bonus if the Social Security funding gap is solved and you no longer feel the need for protection.
No one knows what is going to happen to the Social Security system. What we do know is that a reduction in benefits would cause a serious hardship for many Americans. Our PlanGap® Annuity can help protect the promises that have been made to you and allow you to sleep better at night.
Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind around your retirement income no matter what happens with the funding for Social Security.
* The PlanGap® Annuity is composed of policy document ICC18-MYGA 001 08/18 and the following included riders:- ICC18-MYGADBR 001 08/18
