A group payout annuity policy pays a monthly income benefit to each annuitant in the group while the annuitant is alive.
A group payout annuity is a monthly income benefit protected under Assuris protection.
If your life and health insurance company fails, Assuris guarantees that you will retain up to $5,000/month or 90% of your promised monthly income benefit, whichever is higher.
