Charges for Early
Withdrawals
|
We do not impose any transfer or withdrawal charges.
You may withdraw any portion of your Account Value (before the
death of the Insured Person). A partial withdrawal must be in an
amount of at least $500, may not reduce the Account Value to
less than $100, and cannot exceed the Account Value minus any
Policy Loans.
Surrender Proceeds equal your Account Value minus any Policy
Loans you have outstanding at the time of surrender and any
due and unpaid charges. You may surrender your Policy and
obtain the Surrender Proceeds at any time prior to the Maturity
Date. To surrender your Policy, you must submit the Policy and a
Written Request to our Processing Office, and the Insured
Person must be alive on the surrender date. We will calculate the
Surrender Proceeds as of the Valid Transaction Date of the
surrender, and all insurance benefits, and supplemental benefits
you have added, under your Policy will then cease.

In addition to transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is
subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and
expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy and
the cost of optional benefits under the Policy, and such fees and
expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured. Please
refer to your Policy specifications page for rates applicable to
your Policy. Investors will also bear expenses associated with the
Underlying Funds under the Policy, as shown in the table below.

Introduction and
Summary
|
||
|
Not a Short-Term
Investment
|
This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate
for an investor who needs ready access to cash. In particular:
●Tax deferral is more beneficial to Participants with a long-term
investment time horizon.
●Surrenders and partial withdrawals are subject to ordinary
income tax.
●The Policy is not intended for those who may need to make
withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the
Underlying Funds.

Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
|
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance, and can vary, depending on the
performance of the Underlying Funds. Each investment option
available under the Policy, including the General Account, will
have its own unique risks. You should review these Investment
Alternatives before making an investment decision.
|
Introduction and
Summary
|
||
|
Insurance
Company Risks
|
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company, including that any
obligations (including under the General Account), guarantees,
and benefits of the Policy are subject to the claims paying ability
of Mutual of America. More information about Mutual of
America, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon
request from Mutual of America by calling our toll-free number,
800.468.3785 or by visiting our website at mutualofamerica.com.

|
Contract Lapse
|
Your Policy may lapse, or you may have to make unscheduled
premium payments, if your Account Value declines from
unfavorable investment performance of the Underlying Funds
and your Account Value is not sufficient to pay the charges then
due under your Policy. It is possible for policy loans to exceed
account value, resulting in a lapse.
The lapsed Policy may be reinstated during the Insured Person's
lifetime if certain conditions are met, including you pay, at the
time of restatement, premiums sufficient to keep the Policy in
effect for at least two months (and at least three months, for
policies issued on or after January 1, 2009), and you pay any
charges not paid during the grace period.
Death benefits will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed.

|
Restrictions
|
||||
|
Investments
|
We may remove an Underlying Fund or limit its availability to new
Contributions and/or transfers of Account Value if we determine
that an Underlying Fund no longer satisfies one or more of our
selection criteria.
|

Changes We May
Make
|

|
Restrictions
|
||||
|
Optional Benefits
|
We may make one or more supplemental insurance benefits
available by rider to your Policy, including accidental death
coverage and coverage for children of an Insured Person.
Currently, supplemental insurance benefits are available only for
Policies with Payroll Deduction Riders. We will charge you a
monthly cost for any supplemental insurance benefits you select.
You may borrow up to 95% of your Account Value in the General
Account (or up to 95% of the cash surrender value of the Policy
for policies issued on or after January 1, 2009), minus any
existing Policy Loans. Each Policy Loan must be for at least
$500, and you must assign the Policy to us as collateral. We will
charge you interest on the Policy Loan, and we may change the
interest rate from time to time. We deduct any Policy Loans from
the amount otherwise due you upon the surrender or maturity of
the Policy or from the Death Proceeds due upon the death of the
Insured Person.
We will not permit you to make withdrawals or transfers of the
collateral amount while the loan is outstanding. Amounts
borrowed in a loan do not participate in the Subaccount
investment experience. Loans, therefore, can affect the Account
Value and death benefit whether or not the loan is repaid. Death
benefit proceeds payable will be reduced by the amount of any
outstanding Policy Loan plus accrued interest.

Tax Implications
|
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax
implications of an investment in and payments received under
the Policy. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the Policy is
purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement
account. Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and
may be subject to tax penalties.

Mutual of America no longer offers the Policy for sale.
|
Purchase of a
Policy
|
||
|
Exchanges
|
Because the Policy is no longer sold, you would not be affected
by a scenario in which you are asked to replace an existing life
insurance policy you own with a new purchase of this Policy. In
general, you should be aware that some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new
policy in place of the Policy you already own. Thus, in general,
you should only exchange your Policy if you determine, after
comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is
preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than
continue to own the existing Policy.
