The prompts are discussed below:

Account

Account Name

Enter the name associated with the account.

Distribution Event

Values entered here relate to the distribution of the account.

Type of Event

Select the type of event. The values include:

Client's Age

Date

Years after Client's Retirement

Client Life Expectancy

Spouse Life Expectancy

Event Value

Based on the value selected for Type of Event, enter the corresponding value. If a value does not need to be entered (such as Client's Life Expectancy), the field is not selectable and an N/A appears.

Warning:If the event does not occur during retirement, the lump sum distribution will not be accounted for. For example, if a client retires at 65 years old (but after their birthdate), and an age value of "65" is entered (which would be their birthday), because the event occurs before their retirement date, the lump sum will not be credited to their income in retirement.

Value

Current Value

Enter the current value of the lump sum payment.

Annual Increase

Enter the annual increase, if any, in account value.
