2024 Dividend Scale

We are maintaining the policy dividend scale for all “closed block” participating policies purchased before the June 2001 demutualization of Phoenix Life Insurance Company (now Nassau Life Insurance Company), effective January 1, 2024. Our decision reflects consideration of several factors, including historical performance and future expectations.

The average dividend interest rate will remain 4.90% in 2024, with a policyholder’s actual dividend interest rate subject to specific policy terms.

As always, the amount of dividend paid is based on a number of factors including product type, age at issue, length of time the policy has been in force, gender, and health when the policy was issued. Some policyholders may see a decrease for reasons including mortality, loan balances or loan interest rates that affect the size of the dividend paid. However, a policy’s 2024 dividend will be at least equal to 75% of the 2023 dividend prior to loan adjustments.

We are also maintaining the dividend scale for the small number of participating policies in the “open block” (purchased after demutualization).

Please note that when we changed the name of Phoenix Life Insurance Company to Nassau Life Insurance Company, the company name is the only thing that changed. All policy terms, including terms and conditions for dividend-eligible policies, remain the same, and the closed block continues to be managed in accordance with the original Plan of Demutualization.

If you have any questions about your policy, please contact the Nassau Service Center Team at 1-800-628-1936.

Insurance Agent Disclosure Form Now Required with New Apps

Effective June 17, 2023, Nassau is changing its new business process to now require the completed “Insurance Agent/Producer Disclosure for Annuities” form with all new annuity applications submitted in states where this form is required. The form has been seamlessly added to our eApp process. For paper submissions, producers will be required to include the form with their application materials.

As part of this change, Nassau’s Suitability Questionnaire forms will also be updated and producers will no longer be required to acknowledge that this disclosure has been signed by the applicant(s).

For your convenience, below is a map showing the states which have adopted the latest NAIC Model Reg 275 (or a version thereof) and where Nassau will require the Insurance Agent/Producer Disclosure for Annuities (Appendix A) form to be included with applications. We appreciate your commitment to complying with these regulatory requirements.

State details valid as of January 1, 2024. Utah effective July 1, 2024. For informational purposes only. Not intended as legal advice.

*Separate from Reg 275, Regulation 187 creates a suitability and best interest standard for life and annuity products sold in the state of New York.
