About Retirement Plans

Some policies are only open to individuals and participants in a certain type of group retirement plan. If this is the case, the account will be described as being solely available to either qualified (denoted with a Q) retirement plans or non-qualified (denoted with a NQ) retirement programs. If neither of these options is noted, then the contract is open to both, as are the majority of accounts.
