IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT

 

FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early Withdrawals	We do not impose a charge for early withdrawals from the Contract.
Transaction Charges	The Investor may be charged for the following transactions: •  If you take a loan from your Account Value, you may be subject to a Loan Initiation Fee; not to exceed $100 per loan; •  Certain Funds may impose redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other Fund transactions you may initiate; and •  Charges for advisory services due to an independent advisory services agreement between you and an investment advisor.   See “FEE TABLES - Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)	The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

Not a Short-Term Investment	This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to make withdrawals before you are age 59½.   See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Risks Associated with Investment Options	An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment option available under the Contract. Each investment option (including the Fixed Interest Option) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision.   See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS - The Variable Investment Options” and “APPENDIX B: FIXED PLUS ACCOUNT II” in the full Contract Prospectus and “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus.

RISKS (continued from previous page)
Insurance Company Risks	An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to VRIAC, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of VRIAC. More information about VRIAC, including its financial strength and claims paying ability, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service.   See “THE CONTRACT - The General Account” in the full Contract Prospectus.
RESTRICTIONS
Investments	•   The Fixed Interest Option may not be available for current or future investment; •   There are certain restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Interest Option; •   The Company reserves the right to combine two or more Subaccounts, close Subaccounts or substitute a new Fund for a Fund in which a Subaccount currently invests; and •   The Contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. We actively monitor Fund transfer and reallocation activity to identify violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Electronic trading privileges will be suspended if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that our Excessive Trading Policy has been violated.   See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Selecting Investment Options and Right to Change the Separate Account” and “THE CONTRACT - Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Optional Benefits	•    We may discontinue or restrict the availability of an optional benefit. •   Benefits available to you may vary based on employer and state approval. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits; and •   If a participant elects to pay advisory fees from the Variable Investment Options, such deductions will reduce the death benefit amount and also may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.   See the “Benefits Available Under the Contract - Other Optional Benefits” and “MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT” sections of this summary prospectus.
TAXES
Tax Implications	•   You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and distributions received under, the Contract; •   There is no additional tax benefit to the Investor if the Contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (“IRA”); and •   Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.   See “FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in the full Contract Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation	•   We do not pay compensation to broker-dealers or their registered representatives in connection with the sale of the Contract. •   Compensation may be paid in the form of commissions or other compensation, to certain management personnel, including sales management personnel. •   Because of this sales-based compensation, management personnel and sales management personnel may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment.   See “OTHER TOPICS - Contract Distribution” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Exchanges	Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should exchange your Contract only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing Contract.   See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

This summary provides a brief overview of the more significant aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this summary prospectus, the Contract and the summary or full prospectuses for the Funds being considered. We urge you to read the entire summary prospectus as it describes all material features and benefits of the Contract and your rights and limitations thereunder. It also sets forth information you should know before making the decision to participate in the Contract through your retirement plan. Certain features and benefits may vary depending on the state in which your Contract is issued.

 

Purpose

 

The Contract described in this summary prospectus is a group deferred variable and fixed annuity contract. It is intended to be used as a funding vehicle for certain types of retirement plans and to qualify for beneficial tax treatment and/or to provide current income reduction under Tax Code Sections 403(b) and ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) plans.

 

The Contract is designed for Investors who intend to accumulate funds for retirement purposes, and thus is best suited for those with a long investment horizon. The Contract should not be viewed as a highly liquid investment. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time your money is left in the Contract. For these reasons, you should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment. When considering whether to purchase or participate in the Contract, you should consider your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

 

Phases of Contract

 

The Contract has two phases: An Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase.

 

Accumulation Phase: During the Accumulation Phase, you direct us to invest your Purchase Payments or Account Value among the follow investment options:

•

Variable Investment Options; and/or

•

Fixed Interest Options.

Income Phase: During the Income Phase, you start receiving annuity, or Income Phase, payments from your Contract. However, during the Income Phase you will be unable to make withdrawals, and any death benefits and living benefits will terminate. The Contract offers several Income Phase payment options. In general, you may:

•

Receive Income Phase payments over a lifetime or for a specified period;

•

Receive Income Phase payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually;

•

Select an Income Phase option that provides a death benefit to Beneficiaries; or

 

Withdrawals will not be allowed during the Income Phase. See “THE INCOME PHASE” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

The Variable Investment Options

 

The Variable Investment Options are Subaccounts within the Separate Account. Each Subaccount invests its assets directly in shares of a corresponding underlying Fund, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objectives, fees and expenses and investment advisers. Earnings on amounts invested in a Subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of the corresponding underlying Fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Funds. Additional information about each underlying fund is set forth in an appendix to this summary prospectus. See “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”

 

There is no guarantee that your Account Value will increase. Depending upon the investment experience of each Fund in which a Subaccount invests, your Account Value may increase or decrease daily. You bear the investment risk for the Funds in which the Subaccounts invest; you will benefit from favorable investment experience but also bear the risk of poor investment performance.

 

Contract Features

 

Death Benefit. A Beneficiary may receive a death benefit in the event of your death during both the Accumulation and Income Phases (described above). The availability of a death benefit during the Income Phase depends upon the Income Phase annuity payment option selected. See the “Benefits Available Under the Contract” below.

 

The death benefit is calculated as of the next time we value your account following the date on which Customer Service receives proof of death and a payment request in Good Order.

 

Asset Rebalancing Program. Our asset rebalancing program may be available in connection with certain Contracts. Asset rebalancing allows you to reallocate your Account Value in the investments and percentages you identify. There is no additional charge for this program. See ‘THE CONTRACT - Contract Purchase and Limitations - The Asset Rebalancing Program” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Loans. If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, you may initiate a loan during the Accumulation Phase from your Account Value allocated to certain Subaccounts and Fixed Interest options. Loans are subject to requirements under the Tax Code and related loan regulations, as well as ERISA (if applicable). Further restrictions may apply due to our administrative practices.

 

Systematic Distribution Options. These allow you to receive regular payments from your account, while retaining the account in the Accumulation Phase. See “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Withdrawals. During the Accumulation Phase, you may, under some plans, withdraw all or part of your Account Value. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to tax withholding, other deductions, and taxation.

Charges for Advisory Services. A participant may enter into an agreement with an independent investment adviser that will provide agreed-upon advisory services and may arrange to have the advisory fees deducted from the Variable Investment Options, in which case such deductions will reduce the death benefit payable under the participant’s Contract, they may be treated as withdrawals, and they may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty tax. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges for Advisory Services” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Taxation. Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Benefits Available Under the Contract

 

Name of Benefit	Purpose	Is Benefit Standard or Optional	Maximum Fee	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Adjusted Purchase Payment Guaranteed Death Benefit	The death benefit is the greater of (a) or (b), where: (a) Is the adjusted Purchase Payment total, which is the sum of all net Purchase Payments to your account, minus a proportional adjustment for withdrawals and amounts taken as a loan, which amount will never be less than zero; and (b) Is the current Account Value, excluding amounts taken as a loan, plus any positive aggregate market value adjustment, as applicable.	Standard	No additional fee for this benefit.	If the death benefit in (a) is less than the amount in (b), and the Beneficiary requests an immediate payment or begins Income Phase payments, the amount paid will be the current Account Value, excluding any amounts taken as a loan, plus any aggregate positive market value adjustment. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.   Any advisory fees deducted reduce Account Value and thus reduce the amount of this death benefit .
Asset Rebalancing Program	Allows you to reallocate your Account Value in the investments and percentages you identify.	Standard	No additional fee for this benefit.	Account Values invested in certain investment options may not be available for rebalancing under this program. Subaccount reallocations or changes outside of the asset rebalancing program may affect the program. Changes such as Fund mergers, substitutions or closures may also affect the program. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.

Name of Benefit	Purpose	Is Benefit Standard or Optional	Maximum Fee	Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Systematic Distribution Options	Allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase.	Standard	No additional fee for this benefit.	If not required under the plan, VRIAC may discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time and/or change the terms of future elections. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.
Loans	Allows you to borrow against your Account Value.	Standard	Loan Initiation Fee:  $100 per loan.	Loans from your Account Value may be subject to a loan initiation fee, which will not exceed $100 per loan. The loan initiation fee will be deducted from the Vested individual Account Value during the first month of the loan period. We reserve the right to change the loan initiation fee, but not to exceed $100 per loan. This benefit may not be available under your Contract. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits.
Deduction of Advisory Fees from Participant Account	Contract permits adviser retained by participant to have its fees deducted from participant account.	Standard	No additional fee for this benefit.	Advisory fees deducted reduce the amount of death benefit and may be treated as a withdrawal upon proper authorization – see discussion of each death benefit in this table above.   Withdrawal of advisory fees from a participant’s account may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.

BUYING THE CONTRACT

Purchasing the Contract

 

To purchase the Contract:

•

The Contract Holder submits the required forms and application to the Company; and

•

We approve the forms and issue a Contract to the Contract Holder.

Participating in the Contract

 

To participate in the Contract:

•

We provide you with enrollment materials for completion and return to us, which may be completed electronically where available (occasionally enrollment is conducted by someone unaffiliated with us who is assisting the Contract Holder); and

•

If your enrollment materials are complete and in Good Order, we establish one or more accounts for you. Under certain plans we establish an employee account for contributions from your salary and an employer account for employer contributions. We may also establish ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) accounts.

 

Allocation of Purchase Payments

 

The Contract Holder or you, if the Contract Holder permits, directs us to allocate initial Purchase Payments to the investment options available under the plan. Generally, you will specify this information on your enrollment materials. After your enrollment, changes to allocations for future Purchase Payments or transfers of existing balances among investment options may be requested by telephone, electronically at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Allocations must be in whole percentages, and there may be limitations on the number of investment options that can be selected. See “THE Investment Options” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Tax Code Restrictions

 

The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

When Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments Are Credited

 

Initial Purchase Payment. We must accept or reject an application or your enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying Purchase Payments for five business days, unless you consent to our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a particular plan, to hold Purchase Payments for longer periods with the permission of the Contract Holder. If we agree to do this, the Purchase Payments remain in a non-interest bearing bank account until processed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject the application or enrollment forms, we will return the forms and any Purchase Payments.

 

Subsequent Purchase Payments. If all or a portion of initial Purchase Payments are directed to the Subaccounts, they will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value next computed after our acceptance of the applicable application or enrollment forms, as described in “CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION” in the full Contract Prospectus. Subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers directed to the Subaccounts that we receive in Good Order by the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on that day. The value of Subaccounts may vary day to day. Subsequent Purchase Payments and transfers received in Good Order after the close of the NYSE will purchase Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on the next business day.

MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT

Withdrawals

 

Subject to limitations on withdrawals and other restrictions (see “Withdrawal Restrictions” in this section), the Contract Holder, or you if permitted by the plan, may withdraw all or a portion of your Account Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase.

 

Steps for Making a Withdrawal

 

The Contract Holder, or you if permitted by the plan, must:

•

Select the Withdrawal Amount:

•

Full Withdrawal: You will receive, reduced by any required tax, your Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, minus any applicable redemption fees; or

•

Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): You will receive, reduced by any required tax, the amount you specify, subject to the value available in your account. However, the amount actually withdrawn from your account will be adjusted by any applicable redemption fees for amounts withdrawn from the Subaccounts.

•

Select Investment Options. If not specified, we will withdraw dollars in the same proportion as the values you hold in the various investment options from each investment option in which you have an account value; and

•

Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to Customer Service.

 

For amounts you withdraw from Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, we will redeem the number of Accumulation Units needed to fund the withdrawal and reduce your Account Value accordingly. A reduction to your Account Value due to a withdrawal result in a lesser amount available to be annuitized and a lesser death benefit (if your death benefit amount is based on your Account Value).

 

Calculation of Your Withdrawal

 

We determine your Account Value every normal business day after the close of the NYSE. We pay withdrawal amounts based on your Account Value either:

•

As of the next valuation after Customer Service receives a request for withdrawal in Good Order; or

•

On such later date as specified on the disbursement form.

 

Delivery of Payment

 

Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, we will send your payment no later than seven calendar days following our receipt of your disbursement form in Good Order.

 

Withdrawal Restrictions

 

Many plans may have limits on withdrawals that may be made from the plan. Some examples of these limits are listed below:

•

Section 403(b)(11) of the Tax Code generally prohibits withdrawals under 403(b) Contracts prior to your death, disability, attainment of age 59½, severance from employment, or financial hardship of the following:

•

Salary reduction contributions made after December 31, 1988;

•

Earnings on those contributions; and

•

Earnings during such period on amounts held as of December 31, 1988;

•

403(b) regulations impose restrictions on the distribution of 403(b) employer contributions under certain Contracts. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility – 403(b) and ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) Plans” in the full Contract Prospectus.

•

The Contract generally requires that the Plan Sponsor or its delegate certify that you are eligible for the distribution; and

•

If you are married and covered by an ERISA plan, the Contract Holder must provide certification that Retirement Equity Act requirements have been met.

 

The Tax Code and/or your plan may impose other limitations on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Systematic Distribution Options

 

If available under your plan, a systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase. By remaining in the Accumulation Phase, you retain certain rights and investment flexibility not available during the Income Phase. Because the account remains in the Accumulation Phase, all Accumulation Phase charges continue to apply.

 

Systematic Distribution Options Currently Available

 

These options may be exercised at any time during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. To exercise one of these options, the Account Value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria applicable to that option. To determine what systematic distribution options are available, please write or call Customer Service.

 

Systematic distribution options currently available under the Contract include the following:

•

Systematic Withdrawal Option (“SWO”) - SWO is a series of partial withdrawals from your account based on the payment method selected. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the Contract. You may not elect this option if you have an outstanding Contract Loan; and

•

Estate Conservation Option (“ECO”) - This option offers the same investment flexibility as SWO, but is designed for those who want to receive only the minimum distribution that the Tax Code requires each year. Under this option, the Company calculates the minimum distribution amount required by law (generally at age 73 (or such other age as prescribed by Tax Code Section 401(a)(9)) or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a year.

 

Other Systematic Distribution Options

 

Other systematic distribution options may be available from time to time. Additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options may be obtained by contacting Customer Service.

 

Availability of Systematic Distribution Options

 

If not required under the plan, the Company may discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time and/or change the terms of future elections.

 

Electing a Systematic Distribution Option

 

The Contract Holder or you, if permitted by the plan, may elect a systematic distribution option. The Plan Sponsor or its delegate generally must provide the Company with certification that you are eligible for a distribution and that the distribution is in accordance with the terms of the plan.

 

Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option

 

Once you elect a systematic distribution option, you may revoke it at any time by submitting a written request to Customer Service. Any revocation will apply only to the amount not yet paid. Once revoked, an option may not be elected again until the next calendar year, nor may any other systematic distribution option be elected, unless the Tax Code permits it.

 

Tax Consequences

 

Withdrawals received through these options and revocations of elections may have tax consequences. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.

 

Loans

 

Availability

 

If allowed by the Contract and the plan and subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the plan and the plan’s loan agreement, participants may initiate a loan during the Accumulation Phase from their individual Account Value allocated to certain Subaccounts and Fixed Interest Options. Loans are not available from ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) contracts or accounts (“loanable”). However, under some contracts, participant ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) accounts may be included in the calculation of the amount available for loan (“lienable”) but will not be loanable. Some plans restrict loans from your employer account. Amounts available from some Investment Options may be subject to limitations specified in the loan agreement. See “LOANS” in the full Contract Prospectus for additional information.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FEES

 

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. These fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fee paid to an independent investment advisor retained by a participant, and if such charges were reflected, these fees and expenses would be higher. See “THE INCOME PHASE” in the full Contract Prospectus for fees that may apply after you begin receiving payment under the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

 

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay at the time you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract or take a loan from the Contract. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

Premium Tax5	0.00% to 4.00%

 

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Fund fees and expenses).

 

4

We reserve the right to change the fee charged for loan initiation, but not to exceed $100.

5

We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your Account Value or from payments to the Account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. See “CHARGES AND Fees ‒ Premium and Other Taxes” in the full Contract Prospectus for additional information.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Funds that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. A complete list of the Funds available under the Contract, including their annual expenses, may be found in an appendix to this summary prospectus. See “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”

 

Annual Fund Expenses

 

	Minimum	Maximum
Expenses that are deducted from Fund assets, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses (as of December 31, 2021).	0.04%	0.79%

 

Examples

 

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses (assuming no loans), annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses. They do not reflect any advisory fee paid to an independent investment adviser (if retained by a participant) from a participant’s account, and if such charges were reflected, the costs would be higher.

 

The following example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

Example A:  If you withdraw your entire Account Value at the end of the applicable time period:	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
	$2,458	$7,565	$12,939	$27,631
Example B:  If you do not withdraw your entire Account Value or if you select an income Phase payment option at the end of the applicable time period:8	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
	$2,458	$7,565	$12,939	$27,631

 

 

6	The mortality and expense risk charge, included in the base contract expenses, compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the Contract, including those risks associated with our funding of the death benefit, including any guaranteed death benefits. See “CHARGES AND FEES - Periodic Fees and Charges - Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.”
7	These fees may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain circumstances.
8	This example will not apply if during the Income Phase a nonlifetime payment option is elected with variable payments and a lump-sum payment is requested within a certain number of years as specified in the contract. In that case, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase. (Refer to Example A.)
