RBC GLWB and Enhanced GLWB Income Riders in Illinois

 

 

 

RBC Insurance US

 

Annuities and Life Insurance issued by
Liberty Life Insurance Company

RBC Insurance Important Notice

 

 

RBC Insurance (Liberty Life Insurance Company) has recently been notified by the Illinois Department of Insurance that effective immediately, we must discontinue sales of the RBC GLWB and Enhanced GLWB Income Riders in Illinois.

Our income riders were filed by certification. The certification process permits companies to begin selling product(s) prior to a formal review, which can be a very lengthy process. Upon formal review, the Illinois Department of Insurance has now stated that it is not in agreement with our certification. Until this situation is resolved to the department's satisfaction, RBC Insurance must discontinue sales of the riders.

We are in discussions with the department to remedy this situation as quickly as possible. We regret the disruption this may cause you; however, we must comply with this request. We will keep you informed of further developments as they occur.

Regarding new business procedures for RBC Income Riders in Illinois

Any rider new business postmarked by April 9, 2010 and received by end of business day on Monday, April 12, 2010 will be entered into pending status at our service center. After that date, we will no longer accept new business point-of-sale paperwork for rider sales in Illinois.

Issued and pending business currently in house at our service center as of 5 p.m. Eastern Time on April 12, 2010 will not be affected by this change.

Again, we deeply regret this situation and any difficulties it may cause you. Rest assured that this matter is of great importance to us and resolution is of the highest priority.

If you have any questions, please contact the RBC Insurance
Sales Desk at 888-262-8131.

Thank you.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Date: April 6, 2010

RE: New Texas Regulation to Impact North American Products

To: Texas North American Annuity Distributors and Producers

New regulations in the state of Texas will require changes to our existing fixed annuity products. These changes impact some issue ages and surrender charges on products North American offers in Texas (see below). Commission structure will be changing for some of the products (commissions will be reduced for the first year and another commission will be paid at the beginning of year two).

While the new regulation is effective June 1, 2010, North American is implementing the product changes effective May 1, 2010 to allow enough time for the completion of funds transfer and policy issuance of submitted business. After April 30, 2010, no new business will be accepted under the current product specifications and updated disclosures and brochures that incorporate these changes are required. If we haven't received funds on previously submitted business by May 31, 2010, a new signed disclosure will be required. New product materials will be available for order April 21.

In addition, the Texas regulatory changes will require us to discontinue several products in the state of Texas effective May 1, 2010. Those products to be discontinued are:

  • North American Paramount Choice Ten®
  • North American Ten®
  • North American Prizm Plus®
  • North American Flex Series (NA Flex I, NA Flex II, NA Flex IIISM)
  • The Boomer Annuity®
  • North American DirectorSM
  • North American Guarantee ChoiceSM
  • North American Freedom Choice® with the 5% penalty-free withdrawal option

If we haven't received funds on previously submitted business for these discontinued products by May 31, 2010, we will be unable to issue the policy and an application withdrawal letter will be sent to the customer.

For assistance with ordering new materials or questions regarding the changes, please contact Marketing Support at 866-322-7066.
