Should the retiree die before receiving a minimum number of income payments, payments are made to a beneficiary until the minimum number has been paid, at which time all payments cease. The longer the minimum number of payments guaranteed, the greater the reduction in the dollar amounts of each monthly income payment to the retiree.
