November – We crossed the Bridge!

Bridge sales are open! In November, we celebrated Long-Term Care (LTC) Awareness Month and, fittingly, our innovative contribution to the LTC market — Bridge, which launched on Nov. 15. In case you haven’t heard, Bridge is a fixed indexed-linked annuity with long-term care coverage — plus the NeverStopSM Wellness Program from Assured Allies. It offers LTC coverage when clients need it, and Accumulation Value when they don’t.

RMDs for ineligible beneficiaries notice

According to IRS Notice 2022-53, ineligible beneficiaries – where the deceased died after their Required Beginning Date – may be required to begin taking RMDs in 2023. RMDs for 2021 and 2022 have been waived. Current clients or beneficiaries who may need to begin taking RMDs in 2023 will receive a letter from EquiTrust in 2023 informing them of this requirement.
