Annuity 24.1 If the policy schedule states that the insured amount is a surviving dependant's annuity within the meaning of Section 3.125(1)(b) of the Income Tax Act 2001, this article shall apply. a. The entitlement to an annuity payment cannot be surrendered, disposed of, divulged or used as security and, in general, no legal action can be taken with regard to this insurance that may lead the tax authorities to take back the premium deduction they received for this insurance in the past. b. The insurer shall be held liable by law for the payment of the wage and income tax and revision interest owed by the policyholder or the person entitled to an annuity as soon as a circumstance referred to under point a arises. c. The insurer will then be entitled to set off the amount of the maximum wage and income tax and revision interest due against the value of the insured annuity(s), irrespective of whether these are paid out or not.
ANNUITY PAYMENTS If the Proceeds are less than $2,000 on the Maturity Date as shown on the first page of this Contract, we will pay you or, subject to our consent in the event the payee is not a natural person, a payee designated by you, the Proceeds in one lump sum payment as directed by you and this Contract will have no further value. If the Proceeds are equal to or greater than $2,000 on the Maturity Date as shown on the first page of this Contract and an Annuitant is living on the Maturity Date, we will begin making Annuity Payments as described below. We will make Annuity Payments beginning on the Maturity Date, on a monthly basis unless you deliver Notice to Us directing us to pay at a different frequency. However, requests for periodic payments other than monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually require our consent. If the day an Annuity Payment is scheduled to be paid is not a Business Day, for instance, a weekend, or does not exist in any month in which an Annuity Payment is due, for instance, a month that does not contain twenty-nine, thirty, or thirty-one days, such Annuity Payment will be paid on the next Business Day. The amount applied to an Annuity Plan will be the Proceeds, less any applicable premium tax, which will determine the Annuity Payment under the Annuity Plan you have elected. Each Annuity Payment must equal at least $20. If Annuity Payments would be less than $20, we have the right to make such Annuity Payments less frequently as necessary to make the Annuity Payment equal to at least $20. We have the right to change the $2,000 and $20 minimums stated in this provision based upon increases reflected in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) since January 1, 2005. You may elect any of the Annuity Plans described below. In addition, you may elect any other Annuity Plan we may be offering on the Maturity Date. You may change the Annuity Plan you have elected at any time before the Maturity Date upon thirty days prior Notice to Us. Upon request, we will send you the proper forms to elect or change an Annuity Plan. The elected Annuity Plan shall become effective when we receive satisfactorily completed forms indicating your election. If you do not elect an Annuity Plan by the Maturity Date, payments, calculated based on the oldest Annuitant's life, will be made to you or a payee designated by you automatically each month for a minimum of 120 months and as long thereafter as the oldest Annuitant lives unless otherwise limited by applicable law. IU-IA-3089 Your election of an Annuity Plan is subject to the following additional terms and conditions: (1) If you do not direct us otherwise, Annuity Payments will be paid to you.
Tax Sheltered Annuity Voluntary adjunct employee salary reductions for Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities and 457(b) deferred compensation shall be available to adjunct employees covered by this Agreement. Contracts shall be arranged individually through the Office of the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services or designee subject to regulation by the College.
Life Annuity In addition to the rules imposed by the Act, a life annuity purchased with the property of the Plan must comply with Pension Legislation and must be established for the Annuitant’s life. However, if the Annuitant has a Spouse on the date payments under the life annuity begin, the life annuity must be established for the lives jointly of the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s Spouse, unless the Spouse has provided a waiver in the form and manner required by Pension Legislation. Where the surviving Spouse is entitled to payments under the life annuity after the Annuitant’s death, those payments must be at least 60 percent of the amount to which the Annuitant was entitled prior to the Annuitant’s death. The life annuity may not differentiate based on gender except to the extent permitted by Pension Legislation.
Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity Unless an optional form of benefit is selected pursuant to a qualified election within the 90-day period ending on the annuity starting date, a married Participant's Vested account balance will be paid in the form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity and an unmarried Participant's Vested account balance will be paid in the form of a life annuity. The Participant may elect to have such annuity distributed upon attainment of the earliest retirement age under the Plan.
Multi-Year Planning The CAPS will be in a form acceptable to the LHIN and may be required to incorporate (1) prudent multi-year financial forecasts; (2) plans for the achievement of performance targets; and (3) realistic risk management strategies. It will be aligned with the LHIN’s then current Integrated Health Service Plan and will reflect local LHIN priorities and initiatives. If the LHIN has provided multi-year planning targets for the HSP, the CAPS will reflect the planning targets.
Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement (the “Severance Benefits”) that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with Executive’s termination of employment unless and until Executive has also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (“Separation From Service”), unless Employer reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to Executive without causing Executive to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A. It is intended that each installment of the Severance Benefits payments provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments of the Severance Benefits set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if Employer (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that the Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Executive is, on the termination of service, a “specified employee” of Employer or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance Benefit payments shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s Separation From Service, or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such applicable date, the “Specified Employee Initial Payment Date”), the Employer (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (A) pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the Severance Benefit payments that Executive would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of the Severance Benefits had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (B) commence paying the balance of the Severance Benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A, and it is intended that no amounts payable hereunder shall be subject to tax under Section 409A. Employer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with Section 409A with respect to payments of benefits hereunder.
