Good News About New York Maximum Annuity Rates for Q3 2022

Published by Bill Laskin on July 14, 2022

There is good news for charities that issue annuities in New York! The maximum annuity rates allowed by New York for gift annuities issued to a New York donor in the third quarter of 2022 increased significantly from their second quarter levels. They increased enough, in fact, that New York’s maximum single-life annuity rates for Q3 2022 are higher than the corresponding ACGA rates for all male and female ages, even though the ACGA suggested maximum rates increased as of July 1. This means charities can offer the ACGA rates to New York donors of single-life annuities funded from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022, regardless of the annuitant’s age and gender.

Published by Bill Laskin on June 11, 2020

On May 8, 2020, the American Council on Gift Annuities (ACGA) announced there would be new suggested maximum gift annuity rates, effective July 1, 2020, to replace the rates that became effective on January 1, 2020. The ACGA released the new 1-life annuity rates on May 29, 2020 and the 2-life annuity rates on June 11, 2020. The ACGA’s decision to reduce its suggested maximum gift annuity rates was triggered by the plunge in interest rates starting in mid-February, one of the countless consequences of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
