SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 17, 2009 TO THE MAY 1, 2009 PROSPECTUS FOR MONY VARIABLE
ANNUITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Supplement updates certain information in the most recent prospectus and
statement of additional information you received and in any supplements to that
prospectus and statement of additional information (collectively, the
"Prospectus"). You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the
Prospectus and retain it for future reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all
other information included in the Prospectus remains unchanged. The terms and
section headings we use in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the
Prospectus. We will send you another copy of any prospectus or supplement
without charge upon request. Please contact the customer service group
referenced in the Prospectus.

The purpose of this Supplement is to provide you with information regarding
certain changes to the Prospectus. Please note the following changes described
below.

1. CHANGES TO PORTFOLIOS OF EQ ADVISORS TRUST ("TRUST")

   PORTFOLIO MERGERS

   The Board of Trustees of EQ Advisors Trust (the "Trust") has approved a form
   of a Plan of Reorganization and Termination ("Reorganization Plan"), which
   provides for the reorganization of each of the Existing Portfolios listed
   below into a corresponding Proposed Replacement Portfolio of the Trust (each,
   a "Merger" and collectively, the "Mergers"):

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Existing Portfolio             Proposed Replacement Portfolio
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ Advisors Trust
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ/Government Securities       EQ/Intermediate Government Bond Index
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ/Long Term Bond              EQ/Core Bond Index
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ/Lord Abbett Mid Cap Value   EQ/Mid Cap Value PLUS
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ/Short Duration Bond         EQ/PIMCO Ultra Short Bond
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   EQ/Van Kampen Real Estate      EQ/Mid Cap Value PLUS
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Reorganization Plan is subject to approval by shareholders of each of the
   Existing Portfolios. Special shareholder meetings of the Existing Portfolios
   of the Trust are scheduled to be held on or about August 26, 2009 to vote on
   the Reorganization Plan. It is anticipated that, subject to shareholder
   approval, the effective date of the Mergers will be on or about September 4,
   2009. We will move the assets from the variable investment options (the
   "replaced options") that exist in each of the Existing Portfolios to the
   variable investment option (the "surviving option") that exists in the
   corresponding Proposed Replacement Portfolio on the effective date of the
   Mergers. The value of your interest in each surviving option will be the same
   as it was in the corresponding replaced option. We will also automatically
   direct any contributions made to a replaced option to the corresponding
   surviving option. Any allocation election to a replaced option will be
   considered as an allocation election to the corresponding surviving option.
   Upon the effective date of the Reorganization Plan, all references to the
   corresponding investment options of the Existing Portfolios in the Prospectus
   will change to the corresponding investment options of the relevant Proposed
   Replacement Portfolios.
