DEFINITION AND FACTS OF ANNUITIES
ANNUITY WITHOUT SURVIVOR BENEFITS

If you choose this form of annuity, you must indicate by checking the block alongside "Annuity Without Survivor Benefit" in Section A.
If you are married, your spouse will not be paid a survivor annuity after your death. If you are married at the time of retirement and
choose this form of annuity you may not change this election at a later date.

ANNUITY WITH SURVIVOR BENEFITS
If you are married:

(a) If you choose this type of annuity you will receive a reduced annuity in order to provide a survivor annuity to your spouse to
whom you were married at the time of your retirement. (See your Retirement Plan Booklet for information about the amount of
reduction, and provisions concerning payment of a survivor annuity after your death.) To indicate your desire to provide a survivor
annuity, check the block in Section A alongside "Annuity With Survivor Benefit," insert the portion of your annuity to be used as a base
for the survivor annuity if other than 100% and complete the remaining applicable parts of Section A.
(b) At the time you make this election, and the marriage is subsequently terminated by death of the spouse, or by divorce or
annulment, the reduction in your annuity (to provide a survivor annuity) may be discontinued, but such discontinuance will be made
only if you submit a written request for discontinuance together with proof of termination of the marriage. Under all other
circumstances, the reduction will continue during your lifetime.
(c) If you are separated with a disability annuity, you must use all of your disability annuity as the base amount for the survivor benefit.
(d) If you are an EMP employee, you must use all or none of your annuity payable under the Supplemental Plan and may use all or a
portion of your annuity payable under the Basic Plan as the base amount for a survivor benefit.
(e) If you are not an EMP employee, you may choose all or any portion of your lifetime annuity as the base amount for your spouse's
survivor annuity.
(f) The Nonselection of Survivor Annuity portion of this form identifies spouse's acknowledgment he/she understands the spouse
election of less than maximum benefit of survival protection.
If you are not married:
(a) You may elect to receive a reduced annuity during your lifetime in order to provide a survivor annuity to the person(s) named
having an insurable interest. The survivor annuity will begin upon your death and end when such named person(s) die(s). You may
choose this form of annuity with respect to all or a portion of your lifetime annuity payable under the Basic Plan. If you are receiving a
disability annuity, this option is not available. This provision is also not available with respect to that portion of any annuity which may
be provided under the Supplemental Plan.
(b) You must specify the name, relationship and date of birth of the person(s) you wish to receive the Survivor Benefit upon your
death. If you have two or more children, you may name any or all of them. If you name someone other than your children, you may
name only one person.
(c) If you make this selection, the annuity payable to you will be reduced as explained in the current Retirement Plan Booklet.
(d) The survivor annuity to the designated survivor(s), if all those survive who were living on the date the retirement annuity becomes
payable, will be 55% of the base amount of your reduced annuity.
(e) If two or more children have been designated by name, the survivor annuity will be proportionately reduced upon the death of one
or more of those designated who were living on the date your retirement annuity becomes payable, whether such death occurs before
or after your death.
(f) Refer to your Retirement Plan Booklet for information concerning provisions for discontinuance of the election of a survivor annuity
to a child or children, or other named person(s) having an insurable interest in order to elect a surviving spouse annuity on marriage or
remarriage after retirement.
(g) You may use all or a portion of you annuity payable under the Basic Plan as the base amount for a survivor benefit.

EFFECT OF PRIOR ELECTION OF CONTINGENT ANNUITANT OPTION
Any previous election by you of the contingent annuitant option is revoked and is superseded by the election herein of an annuity with
or without survivor benefits.

OVERPAYMENT OF ANNUITY EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT SURVIVOR BENEFITS OR DISABILITY ANNUITY
In the event of overpayment of an annuity either with or without survivor benefits or disability annuity, it will be required of the annuitant
to repay the determined amount of overpayment. Failure to make such repayment will result in a proportionate reduction of the monthly
annuity until such time as the overpayment has been satisfied.

ANNUITY APPLICATION - Instructions
An Annuity is an annual income in a specified amount. For the purposes of this form, it is the same thing
as a pension. The AAFES annuity referred to on this form is described in the AAFES Retirement Booklet,

Treasury Benefits when calculating the employee’s pension. Annuities can be complex. If you have
questions about how AAFES annuities are calculated or paid, and whether to choose a survivor benefit,
please read the AAFES Retirement Booklet, Form A027000 on the Forms/Pubs website. You may also

less than the maximum annuity survivor benefit. Your spouse must complete
