6. IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND STATE REQUIRED NOTICES | | |
To help the government fight the funding for terrorism and money-laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions |
to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you — when you |
apply for an annuity, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. |
We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents. If you wish to have a more detailed explanation of |
our | | | |
information practices, please write to: Customer Service Center, ING Annuities, 909 Locust Street, Des Moines, IA 50309- | |
2899. | | | |
Pursuant to federal law (the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996), certain favorable federal tax treatment available to |
opposite-sex spouses is not available to same-sex spouses. For instance, federal tax law allows a surviving spouse who is |
designated the beneficiary under an annuity to continue the annuity when the owner dies. This alternative death benefit option |
is not available to a same-sex spouse beneficiary. If you are a same-sex spouse, we suggest that you consult with a tax |
advisor prior to purchasing an annuity contract, such as this one, which provides spousal benefits. | | |
Below are notices that apply only in certain states. Please read the following carefully to see if any apply in your state. |
