SECTION 4: Transfer and rollover restrictions (Not required, however if completed, must be
completed in full)
Required minimum distributions (RMD) from IRAs, TSAs or Qualified Retirement Plans are not eligible for
transfer or rollover. An IRA owner must take their first required minimum distribution by April 1st of the year
following your required beginning age (except for Roth IRAs). A Qualified Retirement Plan or TSA participant
must take their first RMD from the plan or TSA by April 1st of the year following the later of your required
beginning age or retirement.
I authorize my present Financial Institution named above to:
My RMD has already been taken for the transfer year.
Distribute my RMD to me prior to transfer.
Amount of required minimum distribution for the year of transfer:
How is your life expectancy being calculated? (Please check appropriate boxes in both a and b below)
A.
Single Life Expectancy OR
B.
Recalculation OR
Joint Life Expectancy: AND
Non-Recalculated (reduced by one)
“I understand that I must complete and submit new IRA Minimum Distribution Service paperwork to establish a
new Required Minimum Distribution Program with MetLife once my new annuity contract has been issued.”
With respect to rollovers from IRAs, Federal tax rules permit an individual to make only one IRA to IRA tax-free
indirect rollover in any 1-year period. This limitation does not apply when an IRA owner transfers funds from
one IRA directly to another, because such a transfer is not a rollover and, therefore, is not subject to the one
rollover per-year limitation.

SECTION 5: Authorization and signatures
Please select one:
Original contract has been lost or destroyed: I certify that the policy/contract is lost or destroyed. In addition,
I certify that the policy/contract has not been assigned or pledged as collateral.
I hereby authorize my current Account Custodian/Trustee, Contract Issuer or Plan Administrator to liquidate and
transfer funds from my current account to my new annuity.
Account Owner: Current tax laws are subject to change. I understand I should consult with my tax advisor if I
have questions about the tax treatment of my transfer or rollover or my annuity contracts. I understand the
Company is not responsible for the tax consequences of this transaction. I understand that only certain
withdrawals are eligible for transfer/rollover to my MetLife annuity and it is my sole responsibility to ensure any
amounts transferred/rolled over are eligible for such treatment. I understand that tax treatment of this
transaction under my state’s law may vary from federal tax law treatment. By signing below, I affirm the amounts
I am transferring/rolling over to my MetLife annuity are eligible for transfer/rollover treatment. If I am making a
rollover from a qualified plan, TSA, or governmental 457(b) plan, I irrevocably elect to treat the distribution from
my prior plan as a rollover contribution. I understand MetLife will rely upon my representations to accept my
transfer or rollover to my MetLife annuity. I am aware that I am not required to transfer or roll over these
previously accumulated amounts. I have determined the dollar amount of the early withdrawal penalties (if
applicable) and understand my prior provider may assess a penalty before transferring this money to MetLife. I
hereby authorize my current Account Custodian/Trustee, Contract Issuer, or Plan Administrator to provide
MetLife, at its request, information regarding the status of my request for a direct transfer or direct rollover.
If my contract requires a single premium payment, I understand that MetLife may refuse funds not received
within 90 days of the contract's effective date. Funds that are refused will be returned to the source.
MetLife, its agents, and representatives may not give legal, tax or accounting advice and this document should
not be construed as such. Clients should confer with their qualified legal, tax and accounting advisors as
appropriate.
