2018 required minimum distribution (RMD) deadlines
If producers have clients who wish to take an RMD from a OneAmerica company policy, they must either set up an automatic RMD or request a one-time RMD by Dec. 20. This deadline ensures we can process all RMDs by year end. To request an automatic RMD withdrawal, producers must use form 8-18249 (Required Minimum Distribution Election). To request a one-time RMD, they must use form 8-17730 (Partial Withdrawal) and indicate “RMD request” on the form. To expedite handling, email the forms to policyservice@oneamerica.com. Note: An automatic RMD is not available on Annuity Care® II, III or Indexed Annuity Care®. Producers should call the Policy Service Contact Center at 1-877-999-9883 with questions about RMDs.
