This resolution officially designates June as "National Annuity Awareness Month" to highlight the importance of annuities in retirement planning. It emphasizes that annuities offer a predictable way to meet financial obligations and are the only financial product capable of providing guaranteed lifetime income , addressing critical concerns about outliving retirement savings. Many individuals lack adequate guaranteed income for a secure financial future, and research suggests annuity owners have higher confidence in retirement readiness. The awareness month aims to educate consumers on annuity benefits, support access to these products, and encourage seeking professional guidance for effective income and legacy planning. The resolution calls upon various governmental and non-governmental entities to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.
