Jessica is 61 years old and has $460,000 invested in a registered retirement savings plan...

Due to Jessica's reduced life expectancy, an impaired life annuity would provide higher monthly payments than a standard life annuity. This type of annuity takes her medical condition into account, offering larger payouts based on a shorter expected payment period. LLQP resources recommend impaired life annuities for individuals with significant health issues, as these provide better income compared to other types​​.

Options A and C offer a fixed period but don’t maximize monthly income for someone with a reduced life expectancy. Option B would provide a standard income for life but not the potentially enhanced income from an impaired annuity.
