Description

This AHI form is a specific consent form for qualified joint and survivor annuity. This form is personalized for each individual employee. The Iowa Specific Consent Form for Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuities (JSA) is an important document that outlines the requirements and conditions for a pension plan participant to elect a JSA payment option. JSA is a type of annuity that provides lifetime income to the participant and, upon their death, a survivor (usually their spouse) will continue to receive the annuity payments for the rest of their life. This consent form is specific to the state of Iowa and is necessary to fulfill the legal requirements imposed by the Iowa Uniform Probate Code. Iowa's law requires the participant to obtain the consent of their spouse before electing a retirement benefit payout option that does not provide the spouse with a JSA. The consent form serves as evidence that the spouse has been properly informed about the rights they may be giving up by allowing the participant to waive the JSA.
