• Guaranteed death benefit is a benefit condition that guarantees that the recipient of the benefit will receive a death benefit if the recipient of the annuity dies before the annuity starts paying benefits.

  • The Guaranteed Death Benefit is an insurance policy in the event of the death of the recipient of the annuity while the contract is in the accumulation phase.
  • The amount of the guaranteed death benefit varies by company and contract, but the beneficiary is guaranteed an amount equal to what was invested or the value of the contract on the latest policy anniversary report, whichever is greater.
