From the NAIC Buyer’s Guide

When you start income, annuity payout options can include payments for life, for a period certain, or combinations described in the contract. The 2022 guide lists payout options and questions to ask before you buy.

The 2022 NAIC Buyer’s Guide for Deferred Annuities explains that an annuity is a contract with an insurance company. With an annuity, the insurer promises to pay income on a regular basis for a period you choose—including the rest of your life.

Fixed annuities guarantee at least a minimum interest rate set by the insurer. Deferred annuities also differ by premium pattern and by fees and charges.
