If the annuity you bought replaced an existing policy or contract, Nebraska gives you at least 30 days after delivery to return it and receive an unconditional full refund of premiums paid.

A producer recommending an annuity must act in your best interest and may not put their own or the insurer's financial interest ahead of yours.

Nebraska starts from your federal adjusted gross income and applies its own adjustments, so the taxable portion of an annuity payment is taxed as Nebraska income.

Fixed annuities are insurance products, so they are overseen by the state insurance department rather than by the SEC. The department licenses the carriers and the producers who sell them, and it takes consumer complaints.
Every state has a life and health insurance guaranty association that steps in when a member insurer fails. Coverage terms are set by state law and differ by state and by product. Contact the association directly for what applies to a specific contract.
This guide is educational. To review a specific contract in Nebraska, work with a producer licensed there — the Nebraska insurance department’s licence lookup confirms who is. You can also browse rates by state to see what carriers have filed.
