Sample questions & answers
1. Pennsylvania annuity contracts must include a right-to-examine (free-look) provision that lets the owner:
Return the contract within the stated period for a refund
Fixed annuities carry at least a 10-day right to examine (20 or 45 days for replacements) for a refund.
2. When recommending an annuity, a Pennsylvania producer must:
Act in the consumer's best interest, not putting the producer's interest first
Pennsylvania's best interest standard (Act 99 of 2021) requires the producer to meet care, disclosure, conflict of interest and documentation obligations.
3. Before recommending or selling an annuity, a Pennsylvania producer must disclose on a form substantially similar to the Department's model form:
The producer's role, products and insurers offered, and compensation
The best interest disclosure (based on NAIC Model 275 Appendix A) describes the relationship, products and insurers the producer can sell, and sources of compensation.
4. The Standard Nonforfeiture Law for individual deferred annuities guarantees the owner a:
Minimum guaranteed surrender value
The annuity nonforfeiture law sets a minimum guaranteed surrender value the owner is entitled to receive.
