FPA CONTRACTS) Issued By
MUTUAL OF AMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
320 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-6839
Through its
SEPARATE ACCOUNT NO. 2
We offer Individual Retirement Annuity Contracts (“IRA Contracts”), including Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Inherited IRA (subject to state insurance department approval), Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRA and Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA Contracts. We also offer Individual Flexible Premium
Deferred Annuity Contracts ("FPA Contracts").
You,
as a Contractholder, or as a person to whom we have issued an IRA Contract, or as a person or entity to which we have issued an FPA Contract, may make Contributions
in the amounts and at the frequency you choose (subject to certain minimums), and some of the Contracts permit your employer to make Contributions on your behalf. Under IRA Contracts, the amount of your Contributions and those of your employer are limited by federal tax laws. A Contract can help you accumulate funds for retirement and other long-term financial needs. You may apply your Account Value to provide fixed monthly Annuity Payments that begin at a future
date.
You may allocate your Account Value to the subaccounts of Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2 or to our General Account, unless your Plan restricts allocations. You may transfer all or any part of your Account Value among the available Investment Alternatives at any time, without charge. The Subaccounts of the Separate Account invest in similarly named funds or portfolios of mutual funds, which are set forth and
described in Appendix A to this Prospectus.
The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks, including potential loss of principal.
The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in taxes and tax penalties, as applicable.
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company's obligations under the Contract are subject to its financial strength and claims-paying ability.
You should review this Prospectus, which contains more information about the Contract, including its features, benefits, and risks. You can find this Prospectus and other information about the Contract online at https://dfinview.com/mutualofamerica/tadf/IRA/AP and at https://dfinview.com/mutualofamerica/tadf/FPA/AP. You can also get this information at
no cost by calling 800.574.9267 or by sending an e-mail request to [email protected].
Additional information about certain investment products, including
variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s staff and is available at Investor.gov.
If you are a new investor in the Contract, you may cancel your Contract
within ten days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total Contract value. You should review this prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the
specific cancellation terms that apply.
The SEC has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Definitions We Use in this Prospectus
Annuitant—The individual named in the application for a Contract
. Under a death benefit in the form of an annuity, the
Beneficiary will be the annuitant/payee. We use the life expectancy of the
Annuitant(s), or of the
annuitant/payee, as a factor in determining the amount of monthly Annuity Payments for annuities with a life
contingency.
Code—The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Depending on the context, the term Code
includes the regulations adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for the
Code section being discussed.
Commuted
Value—The present value of annuity payments due under an income option or method of payment not based on
life contingencies.
Complete
Order—An order is considered to be complete when all of the requirements for the completion of a transaction have been met. This includes receipt by the Company of all information, remittances and notices necessary to process the given transaction. The Company
will inform you of the documents required for your transaction.
Contract(s)—One
(or more) of the individual (IRA and FPA) variable accumulation annuity contracts described in this Prospectus.
Contractholder—The
individual to whom we have issued an IRA or FPA Contract, or the entity to which we have issued an FPA Contract to fund a deferred compensation plan.
eDocuments—A
feature that offers Contractholders a way to
electronically receive communications and reports, such as quarterly statements, prospectuses (including summary prospectuses), and underlying fund and separate account annual and semi-annual reports. When such documents are available, an email notice is sent to the eDocuments subscriber informing him or her of such availability on the secure “My Account” website
maintained by the Company.
Contractholders enroll by consenting to receive through
eDocuments all of the
documents that we deliver electronically, and are provided instructions on revocation of the consent,
including the ability to revoke
it immediately by calling a specified toll-free number. Revocation of consent applies to all documents provided through the
eDocuments program. You can sign up for eDocuments by completing the Consent
Agreement located on our website and indicating your consent to receive documents through the Mutual of America website.
General Account (or Interest Accumulation
Account)—Assets we own that are not in a separate account, but rather are held as part of
our general assets. Amounts allocated under the Contracts to the General
Account earn interest at a fixed rate that we change from time to time. We sometimes refer to the
General Account as the Interest Accumulation Account, because amounts you allocate to the
General Account earn interest at a fixed rate
that we change from time to time. Inherited
IRA—An IRA Contract that is funded with the death benefit proceeds of an IRA Contract
or another qualified retirement plan by the beneficiary of such IRA or plan.
Joint Annuitant—An additional person (usually the Spouse) whose life expectancy is taken into account for a life annuity and who will receive
Annuity Payments upon the death of the Annuitant in accordance with the
form of annuity selected. A joint annuitant may be designated by the owner at any time before the
Annuity Commencement Date. Reduced Fee—The reduced Separate Account Annual Expenses, comprised
of the administrative charge, distribution expense charge and expense risk charge, that apply to Contractholders in Contracts that are eligible for such reduced Separate Account Annual Expenses as set forth in the Fee Table section of this
Prospectus.
Separate Account—Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2, a separate account we established to receive and invest deposits made under variable accumulation
annuity contracts. The assets of the Separate Account are set aside and kept separate from our other assets.
SEP IRA—An
IRA Contract purchased by an employee in
connection with a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) adopted by the employer.
SIMPLE IRA—An IRA Contract purchased by an employee under a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) adopted by the employer.
Spouse—Unless
otherwise specified, the person to whom a Contractholder or Annuitant is legally married in a marriage recognized under federal law.
Subaccount—A
division of the Separate Account which invests
its assets exclusively in a corresponding Underlying Fund of the same name. Underlying Funds—The funds or
portfolios that are invested in by the Subaccounts. Valuation
Day—Each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, ending at the close of the New York
Stock Exchange that day.
You, or your—Refers to a
Contractholder.
We offer the individual variable accumulation annuity contracts described in this Prospectus to assist with retirement and long-term financial planning. The Contracts
are designed to provide long-term accumulation of assets through investments in a variety
of Investment Alternatives during the
Accumulation Period. The Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the payout
period. It also offers death benefits to protect your designated Beneficiaries. The Contracts may be appropriate if you
have a long investment time horizon. It is not intended for those who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the
Underlying Funds. The Contracts have two phases: an accumulation (savings) period and an annuity (income) period.
Accumulation (Savings) Period
●
Under an Inherited IRA contract, you may not make Contributions. You may only purchase an Inherited IRA by a rollover of a death benefit that
is payable to you from an IRA (other than a Roth IRA) and/or another qualified retirement plan, but only with respect to one decedent under each
Contract. The decedent must have died prior
to 2020.
●
For both SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs, the employer also may contribute amounts on your behalf, within the limits established by the Code. Under a SIMPLE IRA, an employer must match certain Contributions by an employee or make a Contribution for each employee who is eligible to contribute under the SIMPLE.
You can
elect to annuitize and turn your Account Value
into a stream of income payments from Mutual of America, at which time the Accumulation Period of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a fixed period or your life. If you annuitize, you will receive a stream of annuity payments.
You will be unable to make withdrawals, unless
provided for by the form of annuity you select, and death benefits will terminate. We offer individual variable accumulation annuity contracts
to help you accumulate funds for retirement and other long-term financial needs.
The death benefit amount will be your
Account Value as of the date we receive proof of your death (or the death of the Annuitant, if different), the election of the
Beneficiary(ies) telling us how we should pay
the death benefit and other information necessary to process the claim. Unless the owner selected the death benefit, the
Beneficiary selects the form of death benefit, which may be a single sum, a form of annuity or fixed
payments.
●
Under an Inherited IRA, the beneficiary may continue to receive minimum distributions in accordance with the distribution schedule applicable to the owner.
During the Accumulation Period, you may withdraw all or a portion of your Account
Value under all Contracts. We may take up to seven days following receipt of your withdrawal request to process the request and mail a
check to you or electronically transfer funds to your bank account where available.
Specified Payments Option. You may instruct us to withdraw a certain amount (at least $100) each month from your Investment Alternatives on a pro rata basis. We do not charge a fee for withdrawals or partial withdrawals. You may have taxable income upon any
withdrawal of your Account Value
, except in the case of certain withdrawals from Roth IRA
Contracts. You will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates on the amount withdrawn, except for the portion of the withdrawal
that is considered to be a return of your after-tax Contributions (if any). The taxable portion of withdrawals, and in certain cases the nontaxable portion of withdrawals from Roth IRAs, may be subject to a 10% tax penalty, or 25% for SIMPLE IRAs in limited cases. The tax penalty is not due if you have reached the age of 59½, are disabled or in certain other
circumstances (including special rules for IRA Contracts).

Accumulation (Savings) Period
●
Under an FPA
Contract purchased by an employer in
connection with deferred compensation of an employee, the employer makes the Contributions.
●
Under an FPA Contract issued to an individual, you may make Contributions through a payroll deduction agreement
with your employer, and you may make Contributions directly to us.
Minimum Required. Your
initial contribution and any subsequent contributions must be at least $10.
You can elect to annuitize and turn your
Account Value into a stream of income payments from Mutual of America, at which time the Accumulation Period
of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a
fixed period or your life. If you annuitize, you will receive a stream of annuity payments. You will be unable to make withdrawals, unless provided for by the form of annuity you select, and death benefits will terminate.
We offer individual variable accumulation annuity contracts to help you accumulate funds for retirement and
other long-term financial needs.
Individuals may purchase FPA
Contracts to accumulate assets for retirement.
An employer may purchase FPA Contracts to
serve as a depository for the employer’s deferred compensation obligations to employees.
●
Under an FPA Contract when you are not the Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit upon the first to occur of your death and the Annuitant’s death.
●
Under an FPA Contract with joint owners, we will pay the death benefit upon the first death of an owner or the Annuitant.
The death benefit amount will be your Account Value
as of the date we receive proof of your death (or the death of the
Annuitant, if different), the election of the Beneficiary(ies) telling us how we should pay the death benefit and other information necessary to process the claim. Unless the owner selected the death benefit, the
Beneficiary selects the form of death benefit, which may be a single sum, a form of annuity or fixed
payments.
During the Accumulation
Period, you may withdraw all or a portion of your Account Value under all Contracts. We may take up to seven
days following receipt of your withdrawal request to process the request and mail a check to you or electronically transfer funds to your bank account where available.
Specified Payments Option.
You may instruct us to withdraw a certain
amount (at least $100) each month from your Investment Alternatives on a pro rata basis.
We do not charge a fee for withdrawals or partial withdrawals. You may have taxable income upon any
withdrawal of your Account Value
to the extent of your earnings. You will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates on the amount withdrawn, except for the portion of the withdrawal
that is considered to be a return of your Contributions. The taxable portion of withdrawals may be subject to a 10% tax penalty. The tax penalty is not due if you have reached the
age of 59½, are disabled or in certain other circumstances.

This Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of being a Contractholder with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contractholder transaction expenses, Annual Contract Fees, Base Contract Expenses, and Underlying Fund fees and expenses.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 under a Contract for the time periods indicated and that all Account Value is allocated to the Underlying Funds.
We do not impose a surrender charge when you make a
withdrawal of Account Value. As a result, the expenses would be the same whether or not you surrender the Account Value, or apply the Account
Value for the purchase of an annuity (annuitize), at the end of the applicable time period.
The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual rate of return each year and assumes the maximum Annual Contract Fee, the maximum Base Contract Expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
You can lose money in a variable annuity, including potential loss of your original investment. The
value of your investment and any returns will depend on the performance of the Underlying Funds you have selected.
We reserve the right to make certain changes to the structure and
operation of the Subaccounts at our discretion and without your prior consent. We may add, delete, or substitute Subaccounts for contractholders and new or substitute Subaccounts may have different fees and expenses or be offered to only certain classes of contractholders. For more information, see the “Contract or Separate Account
Changes” section in the Prospectus.
The Contracts are designed for Participants with a long investment time horizon. They are not intended for those who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Underlying Funds. Your ability to make withdrawals while you are an active participant in a Plan will be limited. The Contract is not suitable as a short-term investment.
Investment Risk
You bear
the risk of any decline in the Account Value caused by the performance of the Underlying Funds held by the Subaccounts. The Underlying Funds may not achieve their investment objectives, and your
Account Value allocated to any of the Subaccounts may decline in value, perhaps significantly. Each Underlying Fund
may have its own unique risks and the risk of loss varies with each
Underlying Fund. The investment risks are described in the prospectuses for the Funds.
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to Mutual of America, including that any obligations (including under the General Account), guarantees, and benefits of the Contract are subject to the claims paying ability of Mutual of America. Accordingly, if Mutual of America experiences financial distress in the future or becomes insolvent, we may not be able to meet our obligations with respect to the Contract, including Account Value allocated to the General Account. Moreover, General Account assets are exposed to the risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed-income securities, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, and are also subject to the claims of our general creditors. More information about Mutual of America,
including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from Mutual of America.
Withdrawals are generally taxable (for FPAs and after-tax contributions to IRAs, to the extent of any earnings in the Contract), and prior to age 59½ a tax penalty may apply. In addition, even if the Contract is held for years before
any withdrawal is made, withdrawals (for FPAs and after-tax contributions to IRAs, to the extent of any earnings in the
Contract), are taxable as ordinary income rather than capital gains. Different rules apply for
Roth IRAs.
Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risks
We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our business activities. Because our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyber-attacks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential Participant information. Such systems failures and cyberattacks affecting us, the Underlying Funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third party service providers may adversely affect us and your Account Value. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the Underlying Funds
, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values and Participant
Account Value, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Underlying Funds
invest, which may cause the Underlying Funds
to lose value. In addition, the risk of cyberattacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical
turmoil. There can be no assurance that we or the Underlying Funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your
Account Value due to cyberattacks or information security breaches in the future. We are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters and catastrophes, such as, but not limited to, storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, epidemics, pandemics, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster or catastrophe, including a pandemic (such as the coronavirus COVID-19), could affect the ability, or willingness, of our workforce and employees of service providers and third party administrators to perform their job
responsibilities. Catastrophic events may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely and may interfere with our processing of Contract
-related transactions, including processing of orders from Participants and orders with the
Underlying Funds, impact our ability to
calculate Account Value, or have other
possible negative impacts. These
events may also impact the issuers of securities in which the Underlying
Funds invest, which may cause the
Underlying Funds to lose value. There can be no assurance that we, the
Underlying Funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your
Account Value due to a natural disaster or
catastrophe.
General Description of Mutual of America, the Separate Account and the Underlying Funds
We are obligated to pay all amounts required on the part
of the insurer under the Contracts, subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. We are a mutual life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of New York and we are
authorized to transact business in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our Home Office address is 320 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-6839.
We were incorporated in 1945 as a non-profit retirement association to provide retirement and other benefits for non-profit organizations and their employees in the health and welfare field. In 1978 we reorganized as a mutual life insurance company, and now serve for-profit organizations, not-for-profit organizations, their
employees and individuals.
We provide group and individual life insurance, annuities and related services for the pension, retirement, and long-range savings needs of organizations, their employees and individuals including variable accumulation annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. We invest the assets we derive from our business as permitted under applicable state law. As of December 31, 2025, we had total assets, on a consolidated basis, of approximately $23.8 billion. We are registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, for the limited purpose of providing investment allocation services to certain defined benefit pension plans. Mutual of
America and its subsidiaries sometimes use the trade name Mutual of America Financial Group. Our operations as a life insurance company are reviewed periodically by various independent rating agencies. These agencies, such as A.M. Best Company, S&P Global Ratings, and Fitch Ratings, publish their ratings. From time to time we reprint and distribute the rating reports in whole or in part, or summaries of them, to the public. The ratings concern our operation as a life insurance company and do not imply any guarantees of
performance of the Separate Account.
We established the
Separate Account under a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors on September 22, 1983. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended
(the “1940 Act”). The SEC does not supervise the management or investment practices or policies of the
Separate Account or Mutual of America. The 1940 Act, however, does
regulate certain actions by the Separate Account
. We divide the Separate Account into distinct Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests its assets in an Underlying Fund, and the name of each
Subaccount reflects the name of the corresponding Underlying Fund. See Appendix A to this Prospectus, which sets forth certain information about each Underlying Fund.
The assets of the Separate Account are our property.
The Separate Account
assets attributable to Contractholders’Account Values and any other annuity contracts funded through the
Separate Account cannot be charged with liabilities from other businesses that
we conduct. The income, capital gains and capital losses of each Subaccount are credited to, or charged against, the net assets held in that Subaccount
. We separately determine each Subaccount’s net assets, without regard to the income, capital gains and capital losses from any of the other Subaccounts or from any other business that we conduct.
The
Separate Account and Mutual of America are subject to supervision and regulation by the Superintendent of Financial Services of the State of New York, and by the insurance regulatory authorities of each state.
Contract value allocated to a Subaccount will vary based on the investment experience of the corresponding Underlying Fund in which the Subaccount invests. There is a risk of loss of the entire amount invested.
Information regarding each of the Underlying Funds including its name, its investment objectives, its investment adviser and subadviser, current expenses, and performance is available in Appendix A1 (for IRA
Contracts) or Appendix A2 (for FPA
Contracts) to the Prospectus. Each Underlying Fund has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Underlying Fund. The prospectuses and summary prospectuses for the Underlying Funds
are available on our website mutualofamerica.com/prospectus or you can request them by writing to
us at 320 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022-6839 or by calling 800.574.9267. The Underlying Funds may not achieve their objectives, and your Account
Value allocated to any of the Subaccounts
will vary based on the investment experience of the corresponding Underlying Fund in which the Subaccount invests. There is a risk of loss of the entire amount invested. The Underlying Funds sell their shares
to the separate accounts of other insurance companies and may also offer them for sale to the general public.
Selection of
Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds offered through the Contracts are selected by us. Before adding an Underlying Fund, we evaluate a number of important criteria, including,
but not limited to, a fund’s category and style; its investment policy and objectives; the investment manager’s investment processes; the fund’s fit within the mix of the existing investment alternatives and managers offered through the Company’s contracts; the fund’s investment management fees; the appropriateness of the fund for long-term investment of retirement plan assets; the expertise and reputation of the investment manager and the experience and stability of the management team, including the portfolio managers; the effectiveness of the investment manager’s research; the competitive historical fund performance; and the manager’s adherence to the stated investment objectives and style. Consideration is also given to the appeal of the
investment management firm to current and future Contractholders
and Participants. Shared and Mixed Fund Arrangements. Shares of the
Underlying Funds currently are available to the
Separate Accounts of a number of insurance companies for both variable annuity and variable life
insurance products. The Board of Directors (or Trustees) of each Underlying Fund is responsible for monitoring that
Subaccount for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflict between the interests of
participants in all separate accounts that invest in the Subaccount. The Board must determine what action, if any, the Underlying Fund should take in response to an irreconcilable conflict. If we believe that a response does not sufficiently protect our Contractholders or participants in retirement plans that use our group annuity contract as the funding vehicle, we will take
appropriate action, and we may modify or reduce the Investment Alternatives available to you.
We will vote the shares of the Underlying Funds owned by the Separate Account at regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Underlying Funds
. We will cast our votes according to instructions we receive from
Contractholders. The number of Underlying Fund shares that we may vote at a meeting of shareholders will be determined as of a record date set by the Board of Directors or Trustees of the
Underlying Fund. We will vote 100% of the shares that a Subaccount
owns. If you do not send us voting instructions, we will vote the shares attributable to
your Account Value in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received voting instructions from Contractholders. We will determine the number of Accumulation Units
attributable to each Contractholder
for purposes of giving voting instructions as of the same record date used by the
Underlying Fund. Because there is no required minimum number of shares for which we must receive voting instructions, a small number of
Contractholders may control the outcome of the vote.
Each
Contractholder who has the right to give us voting instructions for a shareholders’ meeting of an Underlying Fund will receive information about the matters to be voted on, including the Underlying Fund’s proxy statement and a voting instructions form to return to us. We may elect to vote the shares of the Underlying Funds
held by our Separate Account in our own discretion if the Investment Company Act of 1940 is amended, or if the present interpretation of
the Act changes with respect to our voting of these shares.
We deduct several charges from the net assets of each Subaccount.
●
An administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.50%;
●
A charge at an
annual rate of 0.50% for expenses related to the distribution of the Contracts; and
●
A charge at an annual rate of 0.20% for assuming certain expense risks under the
Contracts.
The maximum
Separate Account charges (Base Contract Expenses) that may be charged under the Contracts are 2.00%
(1.50% for Contracts issued in Maryland). Each
of the administrative expense charge, the distribution expense charge and the expense risk charge may be increased, but only to an aggregate of 2.00% for all such charges. ●
An administrative
expense charge at an annual rate of 0.70%;
●
A charge at an annual rate of 0.55% for expenses related to the distribution of the
Contracts; and
●
A charge at an annual rate of 0.20% for assuming certain expense risks under the
Contracts.
The maximum
Separate Account charges (Base Contract Expenses) that may be charged under the Contracts are 2.00%
(1.50% for Contracts issued in Maryland). Each
of the administrative expense charge, the distribution expense charge and the expense risk charge may be increased, but only to an aggregate of 2.00% for all such charges. FPA Standard Fees and Maximum Fees
The standard Separate Account charges (Base Contract Expenses), totaling 1.20% include:
●
An administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.50%;
●
A charge at an
annual rate of 0.50% for expenses related to the distribution of the Contracts; and
●
A charge at an annual rate of 0.20% for assuming certain expense risks under the
Contracts.
The maximum Separate Account charges (Base Contract Expenses) that may be charged under the Contracts are 2.00% (1.50% for Contracts issued in Maryland). Each of the administrative expense charge, the distribution expense charge and the expense risk charge may be increased, but only to an aggregate of 2.00%
for all such charges.
Effective on or after July 1, 2026, FPA Contractholders remitting Contributions, and using the online retirement plan administration system provided by us or a subsidiary, are eligible for the Reduced Fee Separate Account charge totaling 0.95% if they meet the initial minimum of $15 million in total assets in the Separate Account
and the General Account, and maintain an ongoing minimum of $13.5 million in total assets.
We may increase or decrease the daily and monthly administrative charges described below, subject to any limitations in the Contract. The aggregate fees and charges we impose under the Contracts
must be reasonable in relation to the services we provide, the expenses we expect to incur, and
the risks we have assumed.
We perform administrative functions in connection with the Contracts, including receiving and allocating Contributions, making Annuity Payments as they become due, and preparing and filing all reports that the
Separate Account is required to file. The expenses we incur for administrative functions include,
but are not limited to, items such as state or other taxes, salaries, rent, postage, telephone, travel, office equipment, costs of outside legal, actuarial, accounting and other professional services, and costs associated with determining the unit values of the Subaccounts. We deduct, on each Valuation Day, from the value of the net assets in each Subaccount a charge for administrative expenses:
For each Subaccount, the Administrative Charges are at an annual rate indicated for each contract type:
*
Effective on or after July 1, 2026, the Administrative Charges will be reduced to .25% for
FPA Contractholders eligible for the Reduced Fee.
The Administrative Charge may be increased, but together with the
Distribution Expense Charge and Expense Risk Charge, may not exceed 2.00% in the aggregate.
Distribution Expense Charge
Mutual of America Securities LLC as principal underwriter, performs all distribution and sales functions and bears all
distribution and sales expenses relative to the Contracts. These expenses include the payment of that portion of the salaries of our registered representatives
attributable to the sale and distribution of Contracts, as well as expenses for preparation of sales literature and other promotional activities. We deduct, on
each Valuation Day, from the value of the net
assets in each Subaccount a charge for
distribution expenses: For each Subaccount, the Distribution Expense Charge is at an annual rate indicated for each contract type:
| |
Distribution
Expense Charge |

The Distribution Expense Charge may be increased, but together with the
Administrative Charge and Expense Risk Charge, may not exceed 2.00% in the aggregate.
Expense Risk
Charge
We assume certain expense risks under the
Contracts. The expense risks we assume arise from our guarantees in the Contracts, including the limitations on administrative charges and our obligation to make Annuity Payments in accordance with annuity tables in the
Contracts. We have estimated expenses we expect to incur over the term of the
Contracts prior to annuitization and the
lengthy period that we may make Annuity Payments. We assume the risk that expenses will be higher than we estimated. We deduct, on each
Valuation Day, from the value of the net assets in each
Subaccount a charge for expense
risks. For each
Subaccount, the Expense Risk Charge is at an annual rate of 0.20% for all contracts offered by this prospectus. The Expense Risk Charge may be increased, but together with the Distribution Expense Charge and
Administrative Charge, may not exceed 2.00% in the aggregate.
Annual Contract Fees. We also deduct from your Account Value an Annual Contract Fee on a monthly basis. We will determine and charge fees as of the 15th day of each month (or the first
Valuation Day after the 15th day if the 15th day is not a Valuation
Day). The monthly charge is $2.00 if you have an Account
Value of $2,400 or more at the 15th day of the month, or 1∕12 of 1% of the Account Value at the 15th day of the month if your Account Value is less than $2,400 at the 15th day of the month (which will be less than $2.00).
●
Waiver of
Contract Fee for
eDocuments Participants. We offer eDocuments, a feature that offers Contractholders a way to electronically receive communications and reports (see “Definitions we use in this Prospectus” for a definition of
eDocuments). We do not impose the Annual Contract Fee on a monthly basis if you elect to use
eDocuments. If you subsequently discontinue
using eDocuments, we will reimpose the Annual Contract Fee on a monthly basis.
Additional Information About eDocuments.We
offer eDocuments, a feature that offers
Contractholders a way to electronically receive communications and reports, such as quarterly statements, prospectuses, (including summary prospectuses) and Underlying Fund and separate account annual and semi-annual reports. You will be notified by email each
time documents become available that you can log on to our website to view the document. You can sign up for eDocuments by completing the Consent Agreement located on our website and indicating your consent to receive documents through the Mutual of America website. The Consent Agreement provides that you will need to log in to Mutual of
America’s website to view documents online and to make any necessary updates to your
email address. You also must have an email
address and have Adobe® Reader®
software installed on your computer, which you can obtain at no charge.
When you sign up for eDocuments we will waive the Monthly Contractholder Charge for each month, beginning with the month in which you submit the consent form. Waiver of the Monthly Contractholder Charge also applies
to current eDocuments users. If you do not
elect to use eDocuments, you will be charged
the Monthly Contractholder
Charge. If you do not elect to use
eDocuments, you will receive paper copies of
all documents free of charge by regular USPS mail delivery. You may revoke your consent to eDocuments at any time, either
online or by calling Mutual of America
at 800.468.3785 and instructing a customer service representative to revoke your consent,
and the Monthly Contractholder Charge will

Monthly Charge.
We make an additional deduction for administrative expenses each month, referred to, on an
annual basis in the Fee Table as the Administrative Expenses (Annual Contract Fee), from each Individual IRA or FPA Contractowner’s Account
Value. Because we deduct or receive this charge monthly, we refer to the monthly installment
as “the Monthly Contractholder
Charge.” The Monthly Contractholder
Charge is currently the lesser of:
A Subaccount’s
value is based on the shares it owns of the Underlying Fund. As a result, the investment
management fees and other expenses the Underlying
Funds pay will impact the value of the Subaccounts
. Charges are deducted from and expenses paid out of the assets of the
Underlying Funds. You should refer to the prospectuses
of the Underlying Funds for a complete
description of their expenses and deductions from net assets. In addition, please see Appendix A to this Prospectus, entitled “
Underlying Funds Available As Investment Options Under the Contracts
”.
We currently do not deduct state and municipal premium taxes from Contributions. We reserve the right to
deduct all or a portion of the amount of any applicable taxes, including state and municipal premium taxes, in accordance with the Contracts. State premium taxes vary and currently are up to 3.5%.
General Description of Contracts The
Contractholder is an individual that has purchased an IRA
Contract. We also issued Inherited IRA Contracts to individuals (other than a spousal beneficiary) and trusts that are the beneficiaries of the
death benefit payable under an IRA or other eligible retirement plan. To purchase a Roth IRA (except for rollovers), an
individual must have federal adjusted gross income below a certain level and must designate the Contract as a Roth IRA. To purchase a SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA, the individual must be eligible to participate in the SEP or SIMPLE adopted by the individual’s employer. We require an initial Contribution of at least the minimum required
amount of $10, except for SEP IRA Contracts or SIMPLE IRA Contracts. We issue FPA Contracts to individuals, and we also issue FPA Contracts to employers (including tax-exempt organizations) that may use the
Contracts to accumulate funds to meet their deferred compensation obligations to employees. Each purchaser must complete the prescribed application and make an initial Contribution of at least the minimum required amount of $10. A person to whom we issue an FPA
Contract, whether or not such
person is the Annuitant, will be the
Contractholder of the Contract and will possess all the
rights under the
Contract. For example, the employer to which
we issue an FPA Contract for deferred compensation purposes is the Contractholder
of the Contract and may receive all payments under the Contract.
You may
change the Beneficiary while you are living,
either before or after the Annuity Commencement Date, by providing us (or your Employer when the Employer has agreed to hold such information) with written
notice of the change.
You may elect to withdraw your
Account Value as discussed in this Prospectus, subject to the terms of the Contract, and you may elect to commence annuity payments as discussed in this Prospectus.
You may
elect to receive your Account Value by making
partial or full withdrawals, including under the Specified Payments Option, instead of receiving Annuity Payments.
The two types of contracts are:
The term “IRA
Contracts” refers to Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, Inherited IRA, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA Contracts, which are described below. Individuals may purchase IRA
Contracts for retirement savings. A married individual who is not a wage earner may purchase an IRA Contract (a spousal IRA), and the
individual’s
Spouse (if a wage earner) may make
Contributions on behalf of the non-wage earning
Spouse, provided their federal
income tax filing status is married, filing jointly. Individuals who have adjusted gross income for federal income tax purposes below certain levels are eligible to
purchase Roth IRAs. Individuals, other than a surviving Spouse, may purchase an Inherited IRA, if the Inherited IRA contract has been approved in your state, using death benefit proceeds payable under an IRA or another
qualified retirement plan of an individual who died prior to 2020. An individual may purchase an IRA
Contract directly from us, and must designate
whether the Contract is a
Traditional IRA, or a Roth IRA.
An employee may purchase a SEP IRA Contract under a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan or may purchase a SIMPLE IRA Contract under a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE), if the individual’s employer has established one of those plans.
For federal income tax purposes:
●
You may not deduct Contributions under a Roth IRA for federal income tax purposes. Under a Roth IRA, you may withdraw earnings tax-free if you began contributions to a
Roth IRA at least five years earlier and you
are 59½ years old or older, or in certain other circumstances.
●
You may not make Contributions to an Inherited IRA, except death benefit proceeds under an IRA or an eligible employer retirement plan of an individual who died prior to
2020. Under an Inherited IRA, you must receive a distribution of the entire Account
Value in accordance with the Code, generally either by the end of the fifth calendar year following the year of the decedent’s death or as a series of
annual required minimum distributions based upon your life expectancy.
Individuals may purchase FPA
Contracts to accumulate assets for retirement. An employer may purchase FPA
Contracts to serve as a depository for the employer’s deferred compensation obligations to
employees. For federal income tax purposes:
●
If you are an individual (not a corporation, for example), you make
Contributions to an FPA Contract with
“after-tax” dollars. In other words, you may not deduct or exclude the amount of the Contributions
from your income for federal income tax purposes. If you are an individual, you do not pay
federal taxes on the earnings on Contributions
to an FPA Contract until you begin to receive Annuity Payments or otherwise withdraw all or a portion of your Account Value, in most circumstances.
●
There is no deferral of federal income taxation of the earnings on
Contributions for employers who purchase FPA
Contracts for deferred compensation
obligations or for other Contractholders who
are not individuals.
We will allocate a Contribution when we receive it from you or your employer, along with a
Complete Order
containing all information and completed documents necessary to process the Contribution, (see
“Definitions We Use in this Prospectus” for a description of Complete Order) according to instructions sent with the Contribution
, or if no instructions are sent, on the basis of your allocation election currently on our records.
You may change the allocation instructions for future Contributions
from time to time. You should periodically review your allocations in light of market conditions and your retirement plans and needs.
Your request for a transfer will not be binding on us and cannot be effectuated until we receive a
Complete Order (see
“Definitions We Use in this Prospectus” for a definition of
Complete Order) from you. Please note our policy on frequent purchases and redemptions under “Frequent Purchases and
Redemptions of Subaccount Accumulation
Units.”
Transfers, Allocation Changes and Withdrawals by Telephone or Website. You may generally make requests by telephone or website for transfers or withdrawals of
Account Value or to change the Investment Alternatives to which we will allocate your future
Contributions. We do not accept website
requests or telephone requests for withdrawals from a Roth IRA Contract, or from any FPA Contract where the annuitant and owner are not the
same person. We do not accept telephone or website requests for IRA rollovers. On any Valuation Day, we will consider requests by telephone or website that we receive prior to 4 p.m. Eastern Time (or the
close of the New York Stock Exchange, if earlier) as received that day. We will consider requests that we receive at or after 4 p.m. (or the Exchange close) as received the next
Valuation Day.
You must
use a password to make website requests. Your
use of the password constitutes agreement to use our website in accordance with our rules and requirements. To change your password, you may follow the instructions on our website. To make telephone requests, you will be asked to provide identifying personal
information to our Customer Service Representative. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate at any time the right of Contractholders to request transfers or reallocations by telephone or website. We also reserve the right not to accept powers of attorney or other trading authorizations granted by any Contractholder
to a third party. Either telephone or website transactions may not be possible during
periods of heavy usage or from time to time for technical reasons, and you should place your order by an alternate method during any such period. The
Company’s failure to follow reasonable procedures may result in liability for any losses due to any unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or website
transfers. We will not be liable for following instructions communicated by telephone or website that we reasonably believe to be genuine. To confirm that instructions communicated by telephone or website are genuine, we will ask for personally identifying information to confirm your identity, record all telephone transactions and provide written confirmation of transactions, except for allocation changes made on the website.
How to Tell Us an Amount to Transfer or Withdraw. To tell us the amount of your Account Value to transfer or withdraw, you must specify to us:
●
the dollar amount to be taken from each Investment Alternative; or
●
the percentage
of your Account Value in a particular
Investment Alternative to be transferred or withdrawn.
For transfers, you also must specify the Investment Alternative(s) to
which you are moving the transferred amount. Your request for a transfer or withdrawal is not binding on us and cannot be effectuated until we receive all information necessary to process your request on the required forms and for withdrawals, it must be received either through our website, or by email from an email address with a security profile in our records , or by mail to our Financial Transaction Processing Center.
You may
designate a Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries, subject to any limits under the
Code, to receive any death
benefit due during the Accumulation Period
or to receive any remaining payments (or their commuted value) due during the Annuity
Period. You may change the
Beneficiary while you are living, either before or after the
Annuity Commencement Date, by providing us (or your employer when the employer has agreed to hold
such information) with written notice of the change. The designation or change in designation will, upon receipt by us, take effect as of the date you signed the written notice, whether or not you are living at the time we receive the notice. Designations or changes in designations made via your employer will be deemed to be received by us at the time your employer enters the information on our system. We will not be liable for any payment or
settlement we make before we receive the notice of Beneficiary
or change of Beneficiary.
If you are the owner of an FPA contract and you have designated someone else as the
Annuitant, if no Beneficiary designated by you is living at the time of your death or the
Annuitant’s death during the Accumulation Period (or the Annuitant’s or joint Annuitant’s death during the Annuity Period), we will pay the surviving family member(s) of the Annuitant
, not you, in the order set forth above, or, if we do not find family members in these classes, the
executors or administrators of the Annuitant’s estate. For FPAs issued on or after July 1, 2004, if no
Beneficiary designated by you is living at the time of your death during the
Accumulation Period, we will pay the Annuitant, if the Annuitant survives you.
Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, after utilizing Department of Labor guidance regarding locating missing participants and conducting a thorough search, we are unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or
the Beneficiary does not come forward to claim
the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the beneficiary or the contract owner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit if your
Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment,
it is important that you periodically review and update, if necessary, your Beneficiary designations, including full names and
complete addresses, if and as they change.
Scope of Prospectus. We have not
registered the Contracts under the Securities
Act of 1933 for allocations to the General
Account, nor is the General Account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Disclosures regarding the fixed portion of the
Contracts and the
General Account, however, generally are subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. For more details regarding the General Account, see the Contracts themselves.
General Description. Amounts you allocate to the
General Account become part of our general assets. Our
General Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations, including the payment of claims
under our Contracts and our
Policies, and is subject to the claims of our creditors. The General Account consists of all of our general assets, other than those in the
Separate Account and other segregated asset accounts.
We guarantee that we will credit interest for the life of the Contract to Account Values in the General Account at
a rate at least equal to the minimum rate required by your Contract. IRA Contracts and FPA Contracts being newly issued by the Company provide for a minimum rate determined in accordance with the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) standard non-forfeiture law for annuities. The NAIC minimum rate is determined in accordance with a formula set forth in your Contract that is based upon the
five-year constant maturity treasury rate reported by the Federal Reserve as of the close of business on the last business day each October. In no event under that formula will the minimum guaranteed credited interest rate be less than 1% nor more than 3%. We determine whether the application of the formula will change the minimum guaranteed rate each November, and any change is effective the following January 1. In our sole
discretion, we may credit a
higher rate of interest to Account Values in
the General Account, although we are not obligated to credit interest in excess of the minimum rate. We compound interest daily on Account Values in
the General Account, to produce an effective
annual yield that is equal to the stated interest rate. The interest rates may be different for the portion of your
Account Value in the General Account being held as
collateral for a loan. You can find the current rate for your Account Value in the General Account in your quarterly statement or by
logging in to the secure “My Account” section of our website, mutualofamerica.com. We reserve the right to credit a higher interest rate than the rate otherwise set for amounts allocated to the General Account when the employer uses the online retirement plan administration system provided by us or
a subsidiary for the transmission and receipt of certain information regarding Contractholders, Contributions and other
Contract information, and in certain other circumstances.
You may refer to the additional information about our
General Account’s operations in Appendix B to this Prospectus. Participation in Divisible Surplus
We are a mutual life insurance company and consequently have no stockholders.
Contractholders share in our
earnings through any dividends approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. We can give no assurance as to the amount of divisible surplus, if any, that will be available for distribution under the Contracts in the future. The
determination of such divisible surplus is within the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. No dividends are anticipated.
Funding and Other Changes We May Make
We reserve the right to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the
Subaccounts at our discretion
and without your prior consent. We may add, delete, or substitute Subaccounts for all Contractholders or only for certain classes of Contractholders. New or substitute Subaccounts may have different fees and expenses, and may only be offered to certain classes of
Contractholders. In making
changes, we will comply with applicable state and federal law and will obtain the approval of Contractholders, if required.
Substitutions may be made with respect to existing investments or the
investment of future purchase payments, or both. We may close Subaccounts to allocations of purchase payments or contract value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion. The underlying funds, which sell their shares to the Subaccounts pursuant to
participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the
Subaccounts. Substitutions might also occur if shares of an underlying fund should no longer be
available, or if investment in any underlying fund’s shares should become inappropriate, in the judgment of our management, for the purposes of the contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion and, if required, after obtaining any approval that may be required by law or regulation.
●
to the extent permitted by state and federal law, modify, combine or remove
Subaccounts;
●
transfer assets we have determined to be associated with the class of contracts to which the
Contracts belong from one Subaccount to another Subaccount;
●
create additional separate accounts or combine any two or more accounts including the
Separate Account;
●
transfer assets
we have determined to be attributable to the class of contracts to which the Contracts belong from the Separate Account to another separate account of ours by withdrawing the same percentage of each investment in the Separate Account, with appropriate adjustments to avoid odd lots and fractions;
●
operate the
Separate Account as a management investment
company under the 1940 Act, or in any other form permitted by law, and designate an investment advisor for its management, which may be us, an affiliate of ours or another person;
●
deregister the Separate Account under the 1940 Act and/or cease to maintain the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for sales of units of interest under the Contracts
; and
●
operate the Separate Account under the general supervision of a committee, any or all the members of which may be interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of ours or our affiliates, or discharge the committee for the
Separate Account.
We may modify
the provisions of the contracts to reflect changes to the Subaccounts and the Separate
Account and to comply with applicable law. We will not make any changes without any regulatory
approval that may be required and, if we make any such changes, we will provide the Contractholder and Participants with written notice
as may be required under applicable law or regulation. The purpose of our Contracts is to assist with the accumulation of long-term retirement savings. Our Contracts are not
intended to provide Contractholders with a
means to engage in market timing through frequent transfers of their Account Values in an attempt to take advantage of daily fluctuations in the securities markets.
Excessive frequent transfer practices designed to take advantage of
short-term market changes may cause disruption to the efficient administration of portfolio management strategies and increase transaction costs. Under certain market conditions, such transfer practices can harm the investment performance of an Underlying Fund if it involves amounts which are substantial when compared to the net total Underlying Fund
assets under management.
Each Underlying Fund has reserved the right to reject any aggregate purchase of Underlying Fund shares that it determines to be inconsistent with their Underlying Fund’s policies and procedures relating to market timing. As such, there is also a risk that excessive frequent transfer practices by individual Contractholders could cause an
Underlying Fund to reject a net purchase order from a Subaccount on behalf of many Contractholders, thereby compromising our ability to carry out purchase and redemption orders of many of our Contractholders.
In consideration of the above, we have adopted and implemented the following policies and procedures with regard to frequent transfers.
We reserve the right to adopt additional rules that would apply to Contractholders who in our view are
repeatedly engaging in short-term trading through transfers of all or a portion of their Account Values in any of the
Subaccounts offered under our Contracts.
We work with the Underlying
Funds to discourage
Contractholders from engaging in excessive
frequent transfers that could harm any Subaccount’s investment performance. We periodically meet with the management of the Underlying Funds to discuss any factors that may materially impact investment performance of the
Underlying Funds, including excessive frequent transfer activity, if any. We periodically request a description of the Underlying Funds’
procedures and controls used to identify any excessive frequent transfer activity and a
report on whether any such activity might have an adverse effect on the investment performance of any of the
Underlying Funds. It should be noted that each of the
Underlying Funds has
established its own internal restrictions or minimums, and may decide to apply its own frequent trading policies and procedures to your transactions in the event it determines that, in its opinion, our procedures do not satisfy its particular policies and procedures. The Underlying Fund policies and procedures, if applied to your transactions, could result in a limit on the number of trades you can request in specified time periods,
temporary blockage of trades or
other actions. In addition, we may be required to disclose information on Contractholder transfers to the Underlying Funds. We also request assurance that the Underlying Funds are correctly daily valuing their Subaccounts and appropriately using Fair Value Pricing, where required.
We aggregate all daily purchase or redemption orders received from all
Contractholders under the
Contracts
into a net purchase or redemption of shares of the Underlying Funds. We monitor such aggregate net daily purchase and redemption into or out of each Underlying Fund to make a determination, in our opinion, as to whether such aggregate net trading activity is material in relation to the total assets managed by each of the Underlying Funds, and if so, whether it could have an adverse impact on an
Underlying Fund’s investment performance based upon the total net assets under management. We reserve the right to look back from any
daily purchase or redemption activity in order to identify frequent transfer activity involving substantial amounts.
Depending on the nature of the net transfer activity, we will determine
if there is frequent transfer activity conducted by the same Contractholders which could adversely impact the investment performance of an Underlying Fund, in view of the total net assets of the Underlying Fund, or could cause an Underlying Fund to reject a net purchase order on behalf of all Contractholders
. In this regard, we can review individual purchase and redemption requests by
Contractholders. If, in our opinion, excessive frequent transfer activity could cause an adverse effect on the investment performance of an Underlying Fund or could cause an Underlying Fund to reject a net purchase order on behalf of all Contractholders
, we will take such actions as are appropriate to discourage such activity from continuing,
as noted below. We do not accommodate Contractholders engaging in market timing. We will take the following actions in the following order:
●
contact the Contractholder and remind them that the Contracts are not designed to be used for such
frequent transfers, request that such activity cease, and inform them that their use of the website or the
800-line privileges for transfer activity will be suspended if the activity does not cease;
●
if the activity does not cease, suspend the
Contractholder’s website and 800-line privileges for transfers and require that all future purchase and redemption requests be carried out solely via a signed, written request to initiate
any transaction, to be sent to our Financial Transaction Processing Center in Boca Raton via U.S.P.S. regular mail (the “Regular U.S. Mail Rule”);
●
then, in
appropriate circumstances reject a transfer request, consistent with applicable law, rule, and regulation.
These procedures are applied uniformly to all
Contractholders, individually and in the aggregate, engaging in such frequent transfer activity. The Contracts
seek to provide a high degree of flexibility to Contractholders
in managing their long-term retirement savings and other benefits and to this end do not
have “front end” charges on contributions or transfers, or “back end” surrender or redemption charges on transfers or withdrawals. The
Contracts permit unlimited,
no-fee transfers between and among our General Account and the Subaccounts. We have no arrangements with any person or entities to permit frequent transfer activity and no such
arrangements are permitted. We have not set a restriction on the amounts or number of transactions allowed in a given period and have not established a minimum holding period other than as may be applicable regarding
the policies as noted above, nor have we set an exchange or redemption fee. There may be legal and technological limitations on our ability to impose restrictions or limitations on the transfer practices of our Contractholders
which arise out of the state law affecting a Contract
and the necessary judgments involved in creating monitoring parameters. Consequently, our
ability to discourage excessive frequent transfers that do not involve material or substantial amounts in the
Subaccounts may be limited.
The detection or deterrence of frequent transfer activity involves judgments that are inherently subjective. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we can restrict
all transfer activity that may adversely affect Contractholders. There can be no assurance that frequent transfers in the Subaccounts
will not occur. As a result of the limitations, restrictions and judgments described in
this paragraph, it is possible that some Contractholders may succeed in frequent trading activities, and in that eventuality, the effects, if any, of such activities may to some
degree impact the other Contractholders in
the Separate Account.
●
Under an FPA Contract issued to an individual, you may be the Annuitant or you may name another person as the
Annuitant. Under an FPA
Contract issued to an employer as a depository for deferred compensation obligations to an employee, the employee will be the Annuitant
.
Available Forms of Annuity
We offer several forms of annuity, some of which have guaranteed minimum time periods for payments. If an
Annuitant (and contingent annuitant if a joint and survivor annuity) dies before the minimum time
period has ended, the Beneficiary
will receive the remaining Annuity
Payments due. A life annuity protects an Annuitant
from outliving the source of income, since the payments continue for the life of the
Annuitant.
You may select the annuity form when you designate the Annuity Commencement
Date. You must select an annuity option that provides monthly
Annuity Payments of at least $50. If the annuity option does not meet this minimum amount, then you must select another option or select a lump sum distribution.
Joint and 66 2∕3% Survivor Life Annuity with Ten Year Period
Certain. This annuity form provides for monthly
Annuity Payments to the Annuitant during the Annuitant’s lifetime and 66 2∕3% of that monthly Annuity Payment to the joint annuitant after the
Annuitant’s death if the joint annuitant survives the
Annuitant. If both the
Annuitant and the joint annuitant die before the end of the ten year period, payments continue in the amount last paid until the end of ten years to the Beneficiary
. If the Beneficiary dies before the end of the ten year period, we will pay the
Commuted Value of the remaining Annuity Payments to the payee named by the Beneficiary. If a person named as an Annuitant’s joint annuitant dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, your election of this annuity form is cancelled automatically. In addition to the forms of annuity listed above, under an IRA Contract, you may also select the form of annuities listed below. As of the date of this prospectus, we also currently offer the forms of annuity listed
below under our FPA Contract, but have the right to discontinue offering these forms at any time. Joint and Survivor Life Annuity. Same as the Joint and Survivor Life With
Period Certain annuity above, except that payments will end upon the death of the survivor as between the
Annuitant and the joint annuitant. There is
no guaranteed minimum payment period.
Non-Refund Life Annuity. We make a monthly Annuity Payment until the death of the Annuitant
. No amount is payable to any joint annuitant or
Beneficiary.
Other Forms. We may permit you to elect
a different period certain for life annuities and joint and survivor life annuities. Currently, in addition to the ten year period, we permit the election of periods
certain of three, five and fifteen years. Additionally, we may permit you to elect a different percentage survivorship benefit for joint and survivor life annuities (with or without period certain). Currently, in addition to the 66 2∕3% survivorship benefit, we offer survivorship benefits of 50%, 75% and 100%. We have the right to discontinue
offering these periods certain and survivorship benefits at any time.
You may elect to receive your Account Value by making partial or full withdrawals, including under the Specified Payments
Option, instead of receiving Annuity
Payments.
We will fix the amount of each Annuity Payment and we guarantee that we
will make the payments, according to the form of annuity you select. Our guarantee of payment is subject to our financial strength and ability to meet our claims-paying obligations under the Contract
, so you should consider our financial strength when electing a benefit option. The amount
of the Annuity Payments depends on the
annuity form you choose, your age, your joint annuitant’s age, if applicable, the applicable annuity purchase rates and your Account Value. The duration of an annuity can affect your level of benefit, with longer durations generally producing a lower
monthly payment, all things being equal.
The annuity benefits generally are set forth in the Contract we issue. We will send Annuity Payments directly to Annuitants at their last known address, as filed with us. If
Annuity Payments are made in connection with an FPA Contract purchased by an employer to fund deferred compensation obligations under a plan adopted pursuant to Section
457(b) of the Code, all payments are payable
to the employer, but the employer may specify where we should send the Annuity Payments. In such case, the employer may change the instruction at any time with respect to payments that have not yet been made.
In addition to the conditions
stated in the preceding sentences, for all SEP IRA Contracts, the Annuity
Commencement Date must occur after the later of (a) the 30th day following the day you terminate
employment with every employer that contributes to the Contract on your behalf or (b) the 30th day following the day that the last employer contribution is received by the Company under the Contract. Please refer to your Contract for more details.
For FPA
Contracts issued on or after July 1, 2004, the
Annuity Commencement Date must be on the first day of a month at least 12 months after the Contract
issue date. You may specify the Annuity Commencement
Date in the application, and if no date is specified, the
Annuity Commencement Date will be the first day of the month after the date the Annuitant reaches age 90 or the tenth anniversary after the Contract’s
Effective Date, whichever is later. For an FPA
Contract issued to an employer to serve as a depository for the employer’s deferred compensation obligations to an employee under an eligible 457(b) plan, the Annuity Commencement Date must be the first day of a month at least 12 months after the Contract
issue date but not later than the required beginning date, which beginning in 2023 is the
later of April 1 of the year following the year when the employee reached age 73, or the year the employee terminates employment with the employer.

We will pay the death benefit after we have received at our Home Office:
●
due proof of your (or under an FPA
Contract, any co-owner’s or the Annuitant’s) death, generally a certified
copy of your death certificate;
●
notification of election by the
Beneficiary(ies) of the form of payment of death benefit; and
●
claim forms and
other information and documents that we inform the beneficiary are necessary for us to process the death benefit request.
The amount of
the death benefit will be the value of your Account Value as of the date on which we receive the items listed above. Until then, your
Account Value will remain allocated as it was on the date of death. (If you were the Annuitant and your Spouse is the Beneficiary, special rules apply as described below.) If you have more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary’s
share of the Account Value will remain
allocated as it was on the date of death until we receive the items listed above from such beneficiary. Each beneficiary will continue to bear the risk of loss of their share of the death benefit until their claim is processed.
Form of Payment of Death Benefit. The
Beneficiary will elect the form of payment of
death benefit, unless the Owner previously selected a form. Payout options include a lump sum or annuity payments, but the
Code imposes
special requirements on the payment of a death benefit, as described below. We will pay the death benefit in a single sum if an option has not been selected by the date the
Code requires a payout.
In addition, IRA Contractholders (other than Roth IRAs and Inherited IRAs) are required to begin taking minimum distributions after they reach a certain age (called the Required Beginning Date), and certain requirements depend on whether the Contractholder
had reached that age at the time of death. When minimum distribution requirements are
applicable, they can be satisfied by withdrawals from other eligible IRA contracts, as the case may be. Beneficiaries should consult their tax advisers for any
additional rules that may apply in their particular circumstances.
IRA Contracts—In general, any method of distribution that a
Beneficiary selects must comply with one of the
following: (a) Ten Year Rule. In the case of a death occurring in 2020 or later, the
general rule is that we must pay the entire death benefit to the Beneficiary by December 31 of the year that is ten calendar years after the year of your death, unless we pay the death benefit in accordance with (b), (c) or (d) below.
(b) Exception for Eligible Designated Beneficiaries. An Eligible Designated Beneficiary, as defined below, may choose to have the entire death benefit distributed in the form of
Annuity Payments that begin within one year of the Contractholder’s death and are payable over a period of time that is not more than the Beneficiary’s life or life expectancy, whichever is longer. For these purposes, an Eligible
Designated Beneficiary is a
Beneficiary who, at the time of the
Contractholder’s death, is also (a) the
Contractholder’s surviving spouse; (b) the Contractholder’s
minor child; (c) an individual who is no more than 10 years younger than the
Contractholder; (d) a qualifying disabled individual; or (e) a qualifying chronically ill individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Eligible Designated Beneficiary is a minor child, distributions must be
paid in full no later than the end of the tenth year following the child’s attainment of the age of majority.
(c)
Beneficiary is your
Spouse. Special rules apply if the only Beneficiary is your surviving Eligible Spouse. The Eligible Spouse may use your Required Beginning Date for determining when minimum distributions must begin. As a consequence, the Eligible Spouse
Beneficiary does not have to begin receiving benefits until the required beginning date, which beginning in 2023 is the
later of April 1 of the year following the year in which you would have reached age 73.Alternatively, a
Beneficiary who is an Eligible Spouse, may roll your account balance over to his
or her own qualified plan, 403(b) plan, or to his or her own eligible IRA.
(d) Special Rule for Beneficiaries that are Not Individuals. If your Beneficiary is not an individual, such as your estate or certain types of trusts, we must pay the entire death benefit
to the Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year that is five calendar years after your death. However, if you die after reaching your
Required Beginning Date, the
Beneficiary is limited to distributions made
over your remaining life expectancy. FPA Contracts—In general, any method of distribution that a
Beneficiary selects must comply with one of the
following: (a) Five Year Rule. In the case of a death occurring in 2020 or later, the general rule is that we must pay the entire death
benefit to the Beneficiary by December 31 of
the year that is five calendar years after the year of your death (or co-owner’s or annuitant’s death, if applicable), unless we pay the death benefit in
accordance with (b) or (c) below. (b) Life Annuity Rule. If a
Beneficiary selects a life annuity, the entire death benefit must generally be distributed to the Beneficiary in the form of Annuity Payments beginning within one year of your (or any co-owner’s or the
Annuitant’s) death and which are payable over a period of time that is not more than the
Beneficiary’s life or life expectancy, whichever is longer.
(c)
Beneficiary is your
Spouse. Under an FPA Contract, when you are the owner, your spouse, if the sole Beneficiary
, may choose to be considered as the Contractholder
for purposes of determining when distributions must begin. In effect, your
Spouse can be substituted for you under the FPA
Contract and the death benefit distribution
requirements will not apply until your Spouse’s death. In addition to a single sum payment or annuity payments, we may offer additional forms of payment of death benefit to a Beneficiary as of the date a death benefit is payable. We will provide information to each Beneficiary of the available death benefit payment forms and resulting tax consequences.
For Inherited IRAs, your beneficiary may continue your minimum distributions or may elect to take distributions at any time, but at least as quickly as the minimum distribution schedule determined under the Code and/or your elections as permitted by the
Code.
If an Annuitant
(and the joint annuitant if the form is a joint annuity) dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date and annuity payments have begun, your Beneficiary will receive the death benefit (if any) provided by the form of annuity under which
Annuity Payments were made. If you elect a form of annuity that does not provide for a certain period or full cash refund, then no payments or death benefit will be due following the death of the Annuitant (and the Joint Annuitant, as applicable) after the Annuity Commencement
Date.
Single Sum for Small Annuity Payments. If your annuity benefit payable would be less than $50 each month (or $20 each month for IRA
Contracts issued generally prior to July 1, 2007 and FPA
Contracts issued generally prior to July 1,
2004), we may elect to pay the Account Value in
a single payment to the
Annuitant.
If your
Account Value will purchase an annuity that will provide $50 or less per month, then on the
Annuity Commencement Date you have requested, or at your Required Beginning Date, as applicable, we will pay your Account Value to you in a single sum payment, and you may not elect to receive
Annuity Payments.
Alternatively, we may make such single sum payment to an IRA (or Roth IRA for Designated Roth Accounts) established
by you. Evidence
of Survival. When payment of a benefit is contingent upon the survival of any person, we may
require that evidence of that person’s survival be furnished to us, either by personal endorsement of the check drawn for payment, or by other means satisfactory to us.
Misstatement of Information. If we pay a benefit under a
Contract based on information that you or a Beneficiary misstated to us, we will recalculate the benefit when we learn of the misstatement. We will
adjust the amount of the benefit payments, or the amount applied to provide the benefit, or both, to the proper amount we determine based on the corrected information.
If we underpaid benefits due to
any misstatement, we will pay the amount of the underpayment in full with the next payment due under the
Contract. If we overpaid any benefits due to a misstatement, we will deduct the overpayment to the extent possible from payments as they become due under the Contract. We will include interest
on the amount of any underpayments or charge interest on overpayments, at the effective rate then set forth under State insurance law provisions and in accordance with the
Contract.
Information and Determination. Contractholders must furnish us with the facts and information that we may require for the operation of the
Contract including, upon request, the original or photocopy of any pertinent records held by the Contractholder. We may rely on reports and other information furnished by Contractholders, and we are not obligated to inquire as to the accuracy or completeness of such reports
and information.
Purchases and Contract Value
Purchase of an IRA
Contract; Participation
IRA Contracts.We issue IRA Contracts (other than Inherited IRAs) to individuals, and each purchaser must complete the prescribed application. We require an initial
Contribution of at least the minimum required amount of $10, except for SEP IRA Contracts or SIMPLE IRA Contracts. We issue Inherited IRAs to individuals (other
than a spousal beneficiary) and trusts, that are the beneficiaries of the death benefit payable under an IRA or other eligible retirement plan.
To purchase a
Roth IRA (except for rollovers), an individual must have federal adjusted gross income below a certain level and must designate the Contract
as a Roth IRA. To purchase a SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA, the individual must be eligible to participate in the SEP or SIMPLE adopted by the individual’s
employer. The
Code provides certain tax benefits for IRAs, and the purchase of our IRA
Contract will not result in additional tax
benefits for the purchaser. Purchase of an FPA
Contract; Participation
FPA Contracts. We issue FPA Contracts to individuals, and we also issue FPA Contracts to employers (including tax-exempt organizations) that may use the
Contract to accumulate funds to meet their deferred compensation obligations to employees. Each purchaser must complete the prescribed application and make an
initial Contribution of at least the minimum required amount of $10.
We will require information from you necessary to properly identify owners of
Contracts as required by the USA PATRIOT Act
of 2001, and other applicable laws & regulations.
In order to comply with federal laws and regulations to prevent the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, we may refuse to accept an initial Contribution, issue a Contract or effect subsequent transactions, including, for example, accepting additional Contributions
. These actions will be taken at our sole discretion or when we are required or compelled to do so by a
government authority or applicable law.
We will send you a confirmation statement: each time you change your allocation instructions (except when you change them via our website); when we receive a new Contribution from or for you; when you transfer any portion of your Account Value among the Investment Alternatives; when you make a withdrawal; or, for FPA
Contracts, effective on or after
July 1, 2026, when a change occurs in the number of Accumulation Units and a change occurs in Accumulation Unit Values attributable to your Contract becoming, or
ceasing to be, eligible for the Reduced Fee. The confirmation for a new Contribution, or a change in the number of
Accumulation Units, or the change in Accumulation Unit Values attributable to your Contract becoming, or ceasing to be, eligible for the Reduced Fee, may be an
individual statement for FPA and certain IRA Contracts or may be part of your next quarterly (or monthly, if applicable) account statement for certain IRA
Contracts. You must notify us of any error in a
statement within 30 days after the date we processed the change or transaction, or within 30 days after the end of the period covered by the quarterly (or monthly)
statement that serves as the confirmation statement, or you will give up your right to have us correct the error.
Contributions can be made by check, wire transfer or electronic funds transfer. Contributions made by check should
be sent to: Mutual of America, P.O. Box
20208, New York, NY 10011. For Traditional
IRA, Roth IRA and FPA Contracts, in order to accept a remittance by wire transfer or electronic funds transfer and to allocate such remittance properly, we will require certain information to be sent to us in advance of the transfer. To obtain complete details and instructions regarding wire transfers please contact your Regional Office. You can obtain the address for your
Regional Office by calling our toll-free number 800.468.3785 or by visiting our website at mutualofamerica.com.
●
For an Inherited IRA, contributions must be a direct rollover of a death benefit that is payable to you from an IRA and/or other eligible retirement plan, but only with respect to one decedent under each Inherited IRA contract. The decedent must have died prior to 2020.
The
Code limits the amount of your total Contributions (excluding rollovers) under a Traditional IRA, SEP IRA or
Roth IRA Contract during a tax year to the lesser of $7,500 for year 2026 and later years (indexed for inflation in subsequent years) and 100% of your compensation for that year. Individuals who are age 50 or older by the end of the calendar year may make an additional contribution of $1,100 per year for 2026 and
later years.
●
A single individual with adjusted gross income of $153,00 in 2026 (indexed for inflation in
later years) or less, and a married individual who files a joint tax return with adjusted gross income of $242,000 in 2026 (indexed for inflation in later years) or less, may contribute up to the applicable limit for a year to a Roth IRA. This amount is reduced by contributions to other IRAs during the tax year, other than salary reduction contributions to a SIMPLE and any rollover distributions.
●
The applicable Roth IRA contribution limit for 2026 declines according to a schedule until it becomes zero for a single individual with adjusted gross income between $153,000 and $168,000 and for a married individual filing a
joint return with adjusted gross income between $242,000 and $252,000.
●
You may contribute up to $17,000 for 2026 (indexed for inflation in later years) or 100% of compensation if less. In addition,
Contractholders who are age 50 or older may
make an additional contribution of $4,000 for 2026, indexed for inflation in later years. Contractholders who are aged 60, 61, 62, or 63 in 2025 may contribute an additional $1,000, for a total of $5,000 in catch-up contributions.
●
If an individual
has more than one employer, the maximum amount that an employee may contribute under a SIMPLE IRA and other salary reduction arrangements in any year is the applicable limit for a year for the salary reduction arrangements.
●
An employer generally must match an employee’s contribution up to an amount equal to 3%
of the employee’s compensation, but the employer may lower the percentage to as low as 1% for two years
out of a five year period. The employer may not have to match additional contributions made by Contractholders age 50 or older.
●
Instead of matching a Contribution, the employer may make a “nonelective”
Contribution to each Contractholder’s SIMPLE IRA. The amount of the nonelective Contribution is equal to 2% of compensation for each eligible employee earning at least
$5,000, whether or not the employee has made Contributions
during the year. The maximum amount of compensation considered for each employee in this calculation is
$360,000 for 2026 (to be adjusted for cost-of-living increases in the future). An employer must notify its employees of an election to reduce the percentage of the employer’s matching Contributions or to make a nonelective Contribution instead of matching Contributions
for the coming year.
Under a SEP, an employer can contribute to the employee’s SEP IRA an amount up to 25% of the employee’s compensation (with compensation limited to $360,000 for 2026, (to be adjusted for inflation in future years), but not more than $72,000 for 2026. These limits may be reduced, however, by contributions that the employer
makes to other tax-qualified plans for the employee.
●
You may purchase an IRA Contract, or you may use an existing IRA Contract, to receive rollover Contributions from certain other plans, as described below, even after age 70½.
●
An employer may make contributions for its employees under a
SEP IRA or a SIMPLE IRA, and an employee may contribute to a
SIMPLE IRA, after the employee has
reached age 70½.
You may make Contributions to an IRA Contract (other than a SIMPLE IRA or an Inherited IRA) by rollover of
eligible distributions from certain other pension or retirement arrangements that qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code, under the following rules:
●
Generally, amounts that you roll over do not count against the limitations on the amount of
Contributions during a tax year, except for the portion that represents Contributions
made to an IRA of the same type for the same tax year as the rollover.
●
Qualified plans
and arrangements include other IRA contracts, SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs, tax-sheltered annuities under Code Section 403(b), pension and profit-sharing plans, including 401(k) plans, under Code Section 401(a) and eligible deferred compensation plans of a governmental employer under
Code Section 457(b). (Withdrawals from a Section 457(b) plan if you have not yet reached age 59½ are not subject to a 10% tax penalty, but withdrawals from an IRA or other eligible plan after rollover
from a Section 457(b) plan are subject to this penalty.) Not all distributions from these plans and arrangements may be rolled over to an IRA
Contract, and the tax implications of rolling over distributions may vary depending on federal tax rules that apply to the plan or arrangement.
●
You may directly roll over eligible transfer distributions from an employer-sponsored plan to a Roth IRA or you may roll over
eligible distributions you receive first to a Traditional IRA, a SEP IRA or a SIMPLE IRA and subsequently to a Roth IRA. Income tax treatment of distributions from employer-sponsored plans directly rolled over to Roth IRAs will be the same as if such distributions were first rolled over to a Traditional IRA, a SEP IRA, or a SIMPLE IRA and subsequently to a Roth IRA, as described below.
●
You will owe a penalty tax on withdrawals of amounts that were rolled over to a
Roth IRA from a Traditional IRA, a SEP IRA or a SIMPLE IRA if the withdrawal is made within five tax years after the rollover, even if the amount withdrawn is nontaxable.
In certain
circumstances, federal income tax law permits you to change or “recharacterize” the type of IRA contribution you made from a
Roth IRA contribution to a Traditional IRA contribution or vice versa.
FPA
Contracts. You may make Contributions directly to us, or your employer may make Contributions to us on your behalf under a payroll deduction
agreement. You may make
Contributions at whatever intervals and in
whatever amounts you select, except that each Contribution must be at least $10.
If an employer purchases an FPA Contract as a depository for employee deferred compensation obligations that do not constitute deferrals under an eligible deferred compensation plan as defined in Section 457(b) of the Code, there are no limits on the amount of compensation that employees may defer. However, if the employer is a
tax-exempt entity, other than a church or a state or local government, amounts deferred under the employer’s plan and held under the
Contract are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as defined in Section 457(f) of the Code and to claims of the employer’s creditors. Certain deferred compensation plans or arrangements may also have to
satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
If a tax-exempt organization purchases an FPA Contract as a depository for employee deferred compensation obligations in connection with an eligible deferred compensation plan as defined in Section 457(b) of the Code, there are annual limits on the amount of total deferrals under the plan that may be made for
employees. Contributions (total deferrals), which may be comprised of deferred salary amounts, employer contributions and/or other deferred compensation, for any employee during a calendar year are limited to the lesser of $24,500 for 2026 (indexed for cost of living adjustments thereafter) or 100% of the employee’s includible compensation (as defined in the Code). Special “catch-up” provisions during the last three years before an employee’s normal
retirement age under the plan may increase the annual limit to the lesser of double the otherwise applicable annual limit or the annual limit plus the aggregate
amount unused by the employee under limits in prior years while eligible under the plan. Deferral limits for eligible deferred compensation plans are not reduced by contributions to other retirement plans or arrangements such as 403(b) plans, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs or 401(k) plans. Amounts held under the
Contract are subject to the claims of the employer’s creditors until the Account Value is distributed to an employee.
Effective on or after July 1, 2026, for FPA Contractholders, if you become eligible for a Reduced Fee, on the date the Contract becomes eligible, your Account Value in each Subaccount will be transferred to
Accumulation Units with the same total value that will be charged the Reduced Fee. Similarly, if your Contract ceases to be eligible for a Reduced Fee, on the date that plan becomes ineligible, we will transfer your Account Value to Accumulation Units with the same total value that will be charged the standard fees.
The Accumulation
Unit value for a transaction is the value for the Valuation Period during which we receive the Contribution or request in Complete
Order. As a result, we will process the transaction at the Accumulation Unit value we determine at the next close
of a Valuation Day in the
Valuation Period during which we receive a Complete Order (generally the close of the New York Stock Exchange on that day). If the request is a
Complete Order, the amount
available for withdrawal is the Account Value
at the end of the Valuation Day that we receive (and approve, where required) the Complete
Order. Deposits or Requests are deemed to be received by us if received prior to close of
the New York Stock Exchange on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, or on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading if they
arrive on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is officially closed or following the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a day when it is open.
Principal Underwriter
Mutual of America Securities LLC (“Securities LLC”), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Mutual of America, located at 320 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, serves as principal underwriter for the
Contracts. Securities LLC is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). All
persons engaged in selling the Contracts
are duly licensed agents of Mutual of America or its affiliate and are duly qualified registered
representatives of Securities LLC.
Under an IRA
Contract, you may withdraw your Account Value in whole or in part, at any time during the
Accumulation Period. The amount withdrawn from each Investment Alternative that comprises your
Account Value will be withdrawn proportionally from all Investment Alternatives in your account at the time of the withdrawal request, unless you instruct us otherwise. A full withdrawal results in a surrender of your IRA Contract. We may take up to seven days following receipt of your withdrawal request to process the request and mail a check to you or electronically transfer funds to your
bank account where available. Specified Payments Option. If you have reached age 59½, or for
Inherited IRAs, regardless of age, you may
elect automatic withdrawals of your Account Value
. You must specify an amount, which may not be less than $100. Unless you direct us otherwise, such amount
will be taken proportionally across your Investment Alternatives. Specified Payments will continue until the earliest of:
●
our receipt of your written request to change or end the Specified Payments;
●
your
Account Value (or your balance in any Investment Alternative that you have designated for withdrawals) declines so that the remaining balance is not large enough to cover the next Specified Payment due;
or
If you are
subject to the minimum distribution rules under the Code, the Specified Payments for the year should at least total the minimum required annual distribution.
Income Tax Consequences of
Withdrawals. You should consider the possible federal income tax consequences of any withdrawal, including withdrawals under
the Specified Payments Option. You will be
taxed at ordinary income tax rates on the portion of your withdrawal that is taxable. You will not be taxed on the amount
of any Contributions you made with
“after-tax” dollars, but there are special rules under the Code for determining whether a withdrawal, or portion of a withdrawal, will be considered a
return to you of after-tax
Contributions.
Your
withdrawals under a Roth IRA
Contract that are made after the five year
period beginning with the tax year in which you made your first Roth IRA contribution are not taxable if:
●
you have reached age 59½, or
●
the withdrawals
are to pay for qualified first-time home buyer expenses of up to $10,000 per lifetime (taking into account all withdrawals from all IRAs), or
●
you have died or
become disabled.
A withdrawal that does not meet these requirements is nevertheless not taxable if it is not more than the
amount of your Contributions to the Roth IRA and contributions to other Roth IRAs you own. Penalty Tax on Taxable Portion of Withdrawals and on Certain Roth IRA Withdrawals. There is a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable amount of withdrawals you make during the
Accumulation Period, unless
●
you have reached age 59½
●
you are disabled or have died
●
the distributions are Annuity Payments over your life (or life expectancy) or over the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the Beneficiary, or
●
in certain other circumstances.
The 10% penalty tax you pay increases to 25% if you make a
withdrawal from a SIMPLE IRA during the first
two years of your participation in the employer’s SIMPLE.
Under an FPA
Contract, you may withdraw your Account Value in whole or in part, at any time during the
Accumulation Period. The amount withdrawn from each Investment Alternative that comprises your
Account Value will be withdrawn proportionally from all Investment Alternatives in your account at the time of the withdrawal request, unless you instruct us otherwise. A full withdrawal results in a surrender of your FPA Contract. We may take up to seven days following receipt of your withdrawal request to process the request and mail a check to you or electronically transfer funds to
your bank account where available. Specified Payments Option. If you have reached age 59½, you may elect
automatic withdrawals of your Account
Value.
You must specify an amount, which may not be less than $100. Unless you direct us otherwise, such
amount will be taken proportionally across your Investment Alternatives. We will send the Specified Payments to you, except that we will send the Specified Payments to the Annuitant if you have an FPA Contract and have named someone else as the
Annuitant.
Specified Payments will continue until the earliest of:
●
our receipt of your written request to change or end the Specified Payments;
●
your
Account Value (or your balance in any Investment Alternative that you have designated for withdrawals) declines so that the remaining balance is not large enough to cover the next Specified Payment due;
or
If you are subject to the minimum distribution rules under the
Code, the Specified Payments for the year should at least total the minimum required annual distribution. FPA Contracts owned by an employer do not permit the
Specified Payments Option.
Income Tax Consequences of Withdrawals. You should consider the possible federal income tax consequences of any withdrawal, including withdrawals under
the Specified Payments Option. You will be
taxed at ordinary income tax rates on the portion of your withdrawal that is taxable. You will not be taxed on the amount
of any Contributions you made with
“after-tax” dollars, but there are special rules under the Code for determining whether a withdrawal, or portion of a withdrawal, will be considered a
return to you of after-tax
Contributions.
Penalty Tax on Taxable Portion of
Withdrawals. There is a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable amount of withdrawals you make during the
Accumulation Period, unless
●
you have reached age 59½
●
you are disabled or have died
●
the distributions are Annuity Payments over your life (or life expectancy) or over the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the Beneficiary, or
●
in certain other circumstances.
When We May Postpone Payments
We will pay any amounts due from the Separate Account for a withdrawal (including a Specified Payments Option withdrawal), death benefit or termination, and will transfer any amount from the Separate Account to the
General Account, within seven days, unless:
●
The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading
on that Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC; or
●
The SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of
Contractholders; or
●
An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is
not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Separate Account’s net assets.
In order
to comply with federal laws and regulations intended to deter money-laundering, terrorism or other suspicious activities, we may refuse to accept, or decline to
implement, your withdrawal or transfer orders until it is legally permissible for us to do so.
There are no loan provisions under the Contracts.

make a deduction for taxes if in the future we must pay tax on the Separate Account’s operations.
The discussion below of the current federal tax status and consequences for
Contractholders under the Contracts
does not cover every possible situation and is for information purposes only. Tax provisions and regulations may change at any time. Tax results may vary depending upon your
individual situation, and special rules may apply to you in certain cases. You also may be subject to State and local taxes, which may not correspond to the federal tax provisions. For these reasons, you or the Beneficiary should
consult a qualified tax adviser for complete tax information, including advice concerning the form of IRA Contract
to purchase and any state or local tax law limitations or other considerations.
This Prospectus does not discuss the requirements and limitations under the
Code applicable to employers in
establishing and maintaining SEPs and SIMPLEs or for the deductibility of employer contributions. Employers should consult their own qualified tax advisers for this information.
Section 72 of the Code describes the income taxation of payments under annuity contracts, either during the accumulation period or after the annuity commencement date. We intend that the provisions of Section 72 will apply to payments we make under FPA and IRA Contracts
issued directly to individual Contractholders
. Special rules may apply to determine amounts that are subject to income taxation of
payments made from FPA Contracts
that were issued to the same individual in the same calendar year or if payments are made from FPA
Contracts received in a tax free exchange
within 180 days of the date of such exchange. Other provisions of the Code will apply to payments we make under an FPA Contract issued to an employer for its deferred
compensation plan obligations. General Rules for Withdrawals under Contracts other than
Roth IRAs. The general rule is that you must receive a payment under a
Contract in order to be subject to income taxation. If you are an individual, you do not include in gross income the interest and investment earnings we credit to your Account Value until you withdraw or
otherwise receive such amounts. If the owner of an FPA Contract is not a natural person, or if requirements of the
Code relating to deferred compensation are not met, then the owner may be required to include in gross income the interest and investment earnings on amounts under the Contract.
When you receive a distribution or Annuity Payments, all or part of the payments will be taxable to you as ordinary income. An important factor in determining the taxable portion is whether you have an investment in the contract, which generally is the amount of after-tax Contributions (not deducted or excluded from gross income) that you have made and not previously withdrawn. You must report to the IRS the amount of your after-tax Contributions to an IRA Contract, other than for a Roth IRA, and you are responsible for determining the investment in the IRA
Contract.
The following are general concepts, and you should refer to the discussions below for your type of
Contract.
●
If you do not have an investment in the contract, you must include in gross income the entire
amount received during the tax year.
●
If you do have
an investment in the contract, you may be able to exclude from gross income a portion of the Annuity Payments or other distribution received.
●
The amount you may exclude from gross income each year represents a partial return of your
Contributions that were not tax deductible
or excludable when made.
●
Generally, the simplified method is used in determining the percentage of a distribution that
you may exclude from gross income for a tax year. The nontaxable portion is determined by multiplying the
annuity payment you receive by a fraction, the numerator of which is your investment in the contract (less
amounts previously received tax free) and the denominator of which is the total anticipated payments from the Contract.
Annuity Payments. If you begin to receive
Annuity Payments, or another form of periodic payments such as an installment method for a fixed period or a fixed amount, you may apply the exclusion ratio method to determine the amount to exclude from gross income for the tax year of the distribution. After you have received back all of your investment in the contract, you must include in gross income the entire amount of the Annuity Payments or other periodic distributions, except that a Contractholder
whose Annuity Commencement Date was before January 1, 1987 may continue to use the exclusion ratio method.
You can exchange an existing
annuity contract for a new or multiple contracts tax-free provided certain Internal Revenue Service requirements are met. However, a Contractholder
should consult a tax advisor before exchanging any FPA Contract
. If an FPA Contract is not individually owned, including a Contract purchased by an employer to fund obligations under a 457 plan, earnings on
Contributions are taxable each year to the Contractholder and the exclusion
ratio method is not used to determine taxation of Annuity Payments and withdrawals. Special tax rules apply to distributions by employers to their employees of deferred amounts under 457
plans. Aggregation
of Contracts. All FPA Contracts issued to the same Contractholder during any calendar year are to be treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in an individual’s gross income. In addition, there may be other situations in which the Treasury Department may conclude (under its authority to issue regulations) that it would be appropriate to aggregate two or more annuity contracts purchased by the same Contractholder
. Accordingly, a Contractholder should consult a tax adviser before purchasing more than one FPA or other annuity
Contract.
Withdrawals. If you make cash
withdrawals (that are not annuity payments), you may not use the exclusion ratio and may owe tax on up to the entire amount of the withdrawal.
You must include in gross income the amount withdrawn to the extent that the value of the FPA Contract immediately before the withdrawal is greater than your investment in the contract. In effect, you must treat withdrawals as first being withdrawals of the increase in value under the
Contract, and you are taxed on the entire
amount of interest and earnings under the FPA Contract before you may recover the investment in the contract. A different method may be applicable for withdrawals under FPA Contracts issued on or before August 14, 1982. Single Sum Payments. If you receive a single sum payment of the total
Account Value under the FPA
Contract, you must include in gross income, for the tax year in which you receive the single sum,
the difference between the amount of the single sum payment and the amount of your investment in the contract.
Annuity Payments. If you have an investment in the contract and begin to receive Annuity
Payments, or another form of periodic payments such as an installment method for a fixed
period or a fixed amount, you may apply the exclusion ratio method to determine the amount to exclude from gross income for the tax year of the distribution. The exclusion ratio method continues to apply until you recover the investment in the contract. After that time, you will have to include the full amount of each Annuity Payment in gross income for each
taxable year.
Withdrawals. If
you receive amounts (that are not Annuity Payments) under an IRA Contract (other than a Roth IRA) and you have an investment in the contract, you generally may exclude a portion of the payments from gross
income. You may exclude from gross income an
amount determined by dividing your investment in the contract by your vested Account Value as of the date of the distribution and multiplying by the amount of the distribution. The Internal Revenue Service may indicate another date for valuing your Account Value for this purpose.
Single Sum Payments. If you receive a single sum payment of the Account
Value under an IRA Contract (other than a Roth IRA), you must include in gross income, for the tax year in which you receive the payment, the difference between the amount of the payment and your investment in the contract, if any. You
may deduct from gross income part or all of your Contributions
to a Traditional or SEP IRA Contract up to a maximum of $7,500 for 2026 (indexed for inflation in subsequent years) or 100% of annual
compensation, whichever is less. For a spousal IRA, special rules apply to determine the maximum deduction. Individuals who are age 50 or older may make an additional contribution of $1,100 per year for 2026 and later years. The deductible amount depends on whether or not you participate (and if you are married*, whether or not your Spouse participates) in a pension, profit-sharing or 401(k) plan, a tax-sheltered annuity arrangement, a
SEP, a SIMPLE IRA or an
eligible deferred compensation plan described in section 457(b) of the Code (a pension arrangement) and, if so, on your federal adjusted gross income (AGI).
*
For purposes of this section, “married” means being in a marriage as recognized under federal law.
●
If you are not married and do not participate in a pension arrangement, or if you are married
and neither you nor your Spouse participates in a pension arrangement, you may deduct the maximum deductible amount.
●
When (1) you
(whether or not married) participate in a pension arrangement, or if you are married and do not participate in a pension arrangement but your
Spouse participates in a pension arrangement,
and (2) you have AGI over a specified amount, then you either will not be able to deduct Contributions, or the amount that you may deduct
will be reduced.
If you are unmarried, your maximum deductible amount for 2026 is reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which is $10,000 and the numerator of which is the amount of your AGI over $81,000, and you may not deduct
Contributions under an IRA Contract once your AGI for 2026 reaches $91,000. If you are a married taxpayer filing a joint return, your maximum deductible amount for 2026 is reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which is $20,000 and the numerator of which is the amount of your AGI over $129,000, and you may not deduct Contributions under an IRA Contract once your AGI for 2026 reaches $149,000. If you are a married taxpayer filing separately from your spouse,
your maximum deductible amount for 2026 is reduced by a fraction, the denominator of which is $10,000 and the numerator of which is the amount of your AGI over $0,
such that you may not deduct your Contributions
if your AGI for 2026 reaches $10,000. Regardless of your filing status, the amount of
reduction in your maximum deductible amount is rounded down to the next lowest multiple of $10. In any case where your maximum deductible amount is greater than
zero, you may take a minimum deduction of $200.
●
If you are married, participate in a pension arrangement, and make
Contributions to a spousal IRA of up to the
applicable limit for a year (minus any amount the Spouse contributes to an IRA for the same tax year) for a Spouse who does not participate in a pension arrangement, you may deduct the Contribution to the spousal IRA from gross income if you and your Spouse file a joint federal income tax return and
your combined AGI is not more than $242,000. The deduction is reduced by multiplying the maximum deduction by a fraction, the denominator of which is $10,000 and the numerator of
which is the amount of your AGI over $240,000 except that the minimum deduction is $200 before it is reduced to
$0 at $252,000 AGI and reductions are rounded down to the nearest multiple of $10.
Non-Deductible Contributions. If you do not qualify to deduct all or part of your Contributions
to an IRA under the above rules, you may still make non-deductible
Contributions. The maximum non-deductible Contribution is $7,500 for 2026, and indexed for inflation in later years or 100% of annual compensation,
whichever is less, reduced by
the amount of your deductible contribution for the year and by any contribution you make to a Roth IRA, other than rollovers to a Roth IRA. Contractholders who are age 50 or older by the end of the calendar year may make an additional contribution of $1,100 for the year 2026 and later years. You also may make
non-deductible Contributions up to the
applicable limit for a year to a spousal IRA for your Spouse for any tax year, reduced by any contributions to an IRA (including a Roth IRA) made by your Spouse for the same
tax year and any deductible Contribution
for the year. Excess Contributions may
result in adverse income tax consequences to you. If you make a non-deductible contribution to an IRA, you must report the amount of that contribution to the IRS when filing an income tax return for the year. You
are responsible for maintaining your own records regarding non-deductible contributions. We
will presume that all Contributions to our
Traditional IRA and
SEP IRA Contracts are deductible, including for tax reporting purposes. When we make distributions to you, it is
your responsibility to make any appropriate adjustments when you report the distributions to the IRS on your income tax return for the year of distribution. These limits on Contributions, however, do not apply to tax-free rollovers from other qualified retirement plans.
You may
exclude Contributions to a
SIMPLE IRA from gross income for federal income tax purposes in an amount up to $17,000 for 2026 (indexed for inflation in later years). Contractholders who are age 50 or older by the end of the calendar year may exclude an additional $4,000 in 2026 (indexed for inflation in subsequent years). Contractholders who are aged 60, 61, 62, or 63 in 2026 may contribute an additional $1,000, for a total of $5,000 in catch-up contributions. If your includible compensation is less than the applicable limit for a year, you are limited to 100% of your compensation. During the first two years of participation in a SIMPLE IRA, you may rollover amounts from a SIMPLE IRA only to another
SIMPLE IRA. After the two year period, you may rollover amounts from a
SIMPLE IRA to any IRA (including a
Roth IRA) and to any qualified plan that accepts rollovers.
Penalty Taxes for Withdrawals
In addition to ordinary income taxation, Section 72 of the Code imposes a penalty tax on premature withdrawals, which are withdrawals before you have reached age 59½ (except for Inherited IRAs, for which there is
no withdrawal penalty). This penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount of the premature withdrawal that you include in gross income. However, if you make any
withdrawals from a SIMPLE IRA within the
first two years of your participation in the employer’s SIMPLE IRA, the early withdrawal penalty tax increases to 25% from 10%. Other federal income tax penalties may apply to amounts or withdrawals under IRA Contracts.
In general, the taxable amount of a withdrawal you make before you reach age 59½ is not subject to a penalty tax if:
1.
You have died or become disabled;
2.
The withdrawal is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over your
life (or life expectancy) or over the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the Beneficiary; or
3.
The withdrawn amount is attributable to
Contributions made prior to August 14, 1982;
For premature payments received under FPA
Contracts issued before January 19, 1985, the penalty tax may be only 5% and additional exceptions may apply to certain amounts.
The taxable amount of a withdrawal you make before you reach age 59½ is not subject to a penalty tax if:
1.
You have died or become disabled;
2.
The withdrawals are
Annuity Payments made over your life (or life
expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the Beneficiary;
3.
The withdrawals are to pay your medical expenses, or those of your Eligible
Spouse or dependents, if the medical expenses
would be deductible by you for federal income tax purposes. (Generally, a taxpayer may deduct medical expenses if they are not covered by health insurance or otherwise reimbursed and they exceed 10% of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income);
4.
Under an IRA Contract, the withdrawal is to pay your health insurance premiums, or the premiums for your Spouse or dependents, if you have received unemployment compensation for at least 12 weeks and you meet certain other eligibility
requirements;
5.
Under an IRA Contract, the withdrawal is for the payment of qualifying post-secondary (college) education expenses;
6.
Under an IRA Contract, the withdrawal is for qualified first-time home buyer expenses (up to $10,000 per lifetime);
7.
Under an Inherited IRA Contract, the withdrawal is part of the required distributions that must occur within five years following the end of the calendar year in which the decedent’s death occurred or as part of a series
of required minimum distributions based upon the life expectancy of the Annuitant;
8.
Under an IRA Contract, the withdrawal is a qualified birth or adoption distribution; or
9.
Under an IRA
Contract, you are a qualified individual within the meaning of the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economy Security Act (“CARES Act”) and your withdrawal is within the limits under the CARES
Act.
Roth IRA
Contracts—Qualified
Distributions. You receive tax-free any distribution that is a qualified distribution from a
Roth IRA Contract. The distribution also is penalty tax free, except for certain withdrawals from rollover or conversion Contributions as described below. A qualified distribution is a distribution made:
1.
After the end of the five-year period beginning with the year in which you first contributed
to a Roth IRA; and
2.
In one of the following circumstances:
a)
You are age 59½ or older;
b)
You have died or become disabled; or
c)
For qualified first-time home buyer expenses (up to $10,000 per lifetime).
Roth IRA
Contracts—Non-Qualified Distributions;
When Penalty Tax is Not Due. Any withdrawal by you that is not a “qualified
distribution” is first considered to be a return of your after-tax Contributions. Withdrawals of after-tax Contributions are not subject to taxation or, except as noted below for rollover or conversion
Contributions, subject to the 10% penalty tax. After you have recovered all
Contributions under the Roth IRA Contract, you will be taxed at ordinary income rates on the amount of investment earnings withdrawn and
may be subject to the penalty tax on the taxable amount. (For purposes of this rule, you must aggregate all of your
Roth IRA contracts.)
There is no penalty tax for withdrawals that are not Qualified Distributions if one of the
Traditional IRA exceptions
to the penalty tax applies.
●
the withdrawal is within the 5 tax year period beginning with the tax year in which you made
the rollover or conversion.
Each rollover or conversion
contribution has its own separate 5 tax year period for purposes of this special penalty tax. If you make
Contributions from rollovers or conversions to the same
Roth IRA Contract to which you make other
Contributions, then:
●
withdrawals of rollover or conversion
Contributions will be considered to come first from the oldest of these Contributions, for purposes of calculating the 5 tax year period.
The Code
contains a series of rules that require you (or your Beneficiary
) to take minimum distributions under IRA
Contracts beginning at a certain time (called the “Required Beginning Date”). Distributions under
Roth IRAs are not required until the death of the
Contractholder. Generally, you may take the
required amount from the IRA Contract we have issued, or from other non-Roth IRA contracts that you have. Distributions under Inherited IRA Contracts must begin by the end of the year following the year of death of the decedent for whom you were the
beneficiary if you have elected or are required to receive distributions based on your life expectancy. If the decedent had not reached his Required Beginning Date
at the time of his death, you may elect not to take distributions based on your life expectancy, but then you must withdraw the entire account value no later than the end of year that includes the fifth anniversary of the death of the decedent, except that under the CARES Act, you were not required to take a distribution in 2020 and you can
disregard 2020 in counting the five years. We will provide explanatory information to Contractholders
before their Required Beginning Dates. If you do not satisfy the minimum distribution
requirements, you may owe a penalty tax equal to 25% of the difference between the required minimum and the actual amount you withdrew.
Federal tax law provisions concerning distributions upon the death of a
Contractholder may reduce the period over which a Beneficiary may take or defer receipt of the death benefit.
The death benefit payable to your Beneficiary is included in your estate for federal estate tax purposes in most circumstances. An exception to this rule may apply for an FPA Contract if you did not own or control the Contract at the time of (and for a period before) death.
A Beneficiary will not receive a “stepped-up basis” for the increase in value under your
Contract over the amount of
your Contributions. The gain under a
Contract is called “income in respect of
a decedent” (“IRD”), and the Beneficiary may owe income tax at ordinary income rates on the IRD when the
Beneficiary receives the death
benefit. If your estate pays any estate tax on the death benefit, the Beneficiary may be able to credit the estate tax paid against the income tax the
Beneficiary owes. A Beneficiary should consult a tax adviser for a
complete explanation of the rules that will apply to the Beneficiary’s particular situation.
We are required to withhold federal income tax on Annuity Payments and other distributions, such as lump sum distributions or withdrawals. In addition, certain states require us to withhold if federal income tax withholding is applicable. In some instances, you may elect to have us not withhold federal income tax.
When you (or a Beneficiary
) request withdrawals or Annuity Payments
, we will give detailed information and advise you (or your
Beneficiary) of possible elections to be made.
Contractholders and Beneficiaries should
carefully review information they receive from us. We are required to withhold federal income tax on Annuity
Payments and other distributions, such as partial or lump sum withdrawals, unless the
recipient has provided us with a valid written election not to have federal income tax withheld and except that withholding is not required for
Roth IRAs in certain circumstances. You at any time may revoke an election not to
withhold. If you revoke an election, we will begin withholding.
We will withhold only against
the taxable portion of the Annuity Payments
or of the other distributions. The rate we use will be determined based upon the nature of the distribution(s).
●
For most withdrawals, we will withhold federal tax at a flat 10% rate of the amount
withdrawn.
We are engaged in litigation of various kinds, which in our judgment are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Separate Account, the ability of Mutual of America Securities LLC to perform under its principal underwriting contract with the
Separate Account, or the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the
Contracts. There are no legal proceedings pending to which the
Separate Account is a party.
The required financial statements for each of Mutual of America and the Separate Account appear in the Statement of
Additional Information, which you can obtain from us free of charge.

Appendix B: General Account Operations
This Appendix B provides more information about our
General Account’s operations and the risks of allocating Contributions to the General Account compared to allocating Contributions to the Separate Account.
Contributions held in our General Account may pose different risks to Contractholders than Contributions supported by assets of our Separate Account.
When a Contractholder allocates contributions to our General Account, the
contributions are commingled with our corporate funds and assets (excluding Separate Account assets and special deposit funds). We combine in our General Account contributions and premiums from all lines of business. Assets in our General Account are not segregated for the exclusive benefit of any particular policy or obligation, although experience rated General Account policies may share in the experience of the General Account through interest credits,
dividends or rate adjustments.
We invest the pooled amounts in our General Account. Most General Account investments are maintained at book value (relating to our purchase price for the investments), while Separate Account investments are
maintained at market value, which fluctuates according to market conditions.
Our General Account assets in the aggregate support our General Account obligations under all of our insurance contracts, including (but not limited to) our individual and group life, health, disability, fixed annuity contracts and variable accumulation annuity contracts (other than separate account obligations). General Account assets also are available to us for the conduct of our routine business activities, such as the payment of salaries, rent, other ordinary business expenses and dividends. In the event of our insolvency, funds in our General Account would be available to meet the claims of our general creditors, after payment of amounts due under certain priority claims, including certain amounts owed to Contractholders. Contractholders should
consider our claims paying ability and financial strength when allocating amounts to the General Account.
We determine and periodically declare the fixed interest rate return
(referred to as the credited interest rate) to be credited to amounts under the Contracts held in our General Account, including the extent and frequency credited interest rates may be changed. We also determine the manner in which interest is credited during the term of the Contracts and upon their termination. Members of Mutual of America’s senior management in their discretion from time to time determine credited interest rates upon consideration of the following factors:
●
Reasonable classifications of different types of policies.
●
Expected benefit
payments, expenses (including the on-going costs of business operations), risk charges, mortality, persistency and actual investment earnings properly allocable to each class of
policies, under generally accepted actuarial and accounting principles.
●
The ability of each class of policies to be self-supporting over the long run and, in
addition, to allow for a permanent contribution to our surplus of such magnitude that in combinations with similarly derived contributions from all classes of policies, our long-term financial strength and stability will be assured so that we can
meet our long-term obligations to policyholders. In doing so, there is no requirement that each class of policies make a contribution to surplus every year, since uneven incidence
of expenses and experience fluctuations may make that impractical.
●
The potential impact of any credited interest rate decision on both short-term and long-term
operating gains or losses, including the immediate and long-term impact on our surplus position, as well as the
impact of current and anticipated economic and financial market.
●
Compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
●
Competitiveness of
rates in light of industry practices and trends current at the time.
We use an overall portfolio approach for determining credited interest rates. This means that one rate is applied to all amounts placed in our General Account for each class of contracts without regard to when such amounts were placed in our General Account. The credited interest rate, when declared, is applied on a daily
basis to all funds accumulated
in the General Account. We reserve the right to change this credited rate at any time. The credited interest rate may not be less than the minimum annual yield, if
any, set forth in a Contract. If we declare a credited interest rate higher than such minimum, the higher credited interest rate will remain in effect until changed.
All amounts accumulated in our General Account (including credited interest) for Contractholders are guaranteed by us. Amounts held for a Contractholder are payable in full upon the Contractholder’s request for transfer, payment, withdrawal or Contract surrender, subject to the deduction of any otherwise payable administrative charges. Generally, Contractholders are provided with a written notice of any changes to the interest rates applicable to amounts in our General Account, prior to the implementation. The credited interest
rate applicable to amounts in our General Account is indicated in Contractholders’ quarterly statements.
We determine the administrative charges, fees, expenses or other amounts
(referred to as administrative charges) that are, or may be, assessed against the General Account or Separate Account or deducted by us from Account Values maintained by Contractholders in the General Account and Subaccounts, including the extent and frequency with which such administrative charges may be modified. Periodically, we review the administrative charges under the Contracts, taking into consideration the types of factors listed above for determining credited interest rates. Subject to the restrictions referred to in the Prospectus, we reserve the right to change the administrative charges. We also reserve the right to change the services we make available to Contractholders. We will provide written notices to Contractholders when administrative charges are amended, modified, added or deleted, prior to the imposition of any change. Administrative charges are usually payable on a monthly basis, but may be payable on the occurrence of certain events. Each
Contractholder’s quarterly statements reflect direct deductions from the Contractholder’s Account Value in the Separate Account or General Account. The Annual Pension Fund Report to Contractholders also reflects
deductions and charges paid by the Contractholders.
A plan’s legal rights vary for contract amounts under our General Account and Separate Account. In general, we are subject to ERISA’s fiduciary responsibility provisions with respect to the assets of a separate account (other than a separate account registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 such as the Separate Account) to the extent the investment performance of such assets is passed directly through to plan participants or contractholders. ERISA requires insurers, in administering separate account assets that are subject to ERISA’s fiduciary rules, to act solely in the interest of a plan’s participants and beneficiaries; prohibits self-dealing and conflicts of interest; and requires insurers to adhere to a prudent standard of care. In contrast, ERISA’s fiduciary rules generally do not apply to assets held in the general account of an insurance company if the general account meets the definition of “guaranteed benefit policy” under Section 401(b)(2)(B) of ERISA. We believe that our General Account meets the definition of “guaranteed benefit policy,” and therefore assets held in our General Account are not “plan assets” under ERISA.
State regulation is typically more restrictive with respect to our General Account than our Separate Account. However, state insurance regulation may not provide the same level of protection to plan participants as ERISA regulation. In addition, our General Account contracts often include various guarantees under which we assume risks relating to the funding and distribution of benefits. We do not provide any guarantees with
respect to the investment returns on allocations to the Separate Account.

This Statement Of Additional Information Is Not A
Prospectus, And You Should Read It In Conjunction With The Prospectus For The Contracts.
Mutual of America Life Insurance Company (“Mutual of America,” or the “Company,” “we,” “us” or
“our”) is a mutual life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of New York and we are authorized to transact business in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our Home Office address is 320 Park Avenue, New
York, New York 10022.
We were incorporated in 1945 as a non-profit retirement association to provide retirement and other benefits for non-profit organizations and their employees in the health and welfare field. In 1978 we reorganized as a mutual life insurance company, and now serve for-profit organizations, not-for-profit organizations, their
employees and individuals.
We provide group and individual life insurance, annuities and related
services for the pension, retirement, and long-range savings needs of organizations, their employees and individuals. We invest the assets we derive from our business as permitted under applicable state law. As of December 31, 2025, we had total assets of approximately $23.8 billion. We are registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 for the limited purpose of providing investment allocation services to certain defined benefit pension plans. Mutual of America and its subsidiaries sometimes use the trade name Mutual of America Financial
Group.
We established the Separate Account under a resolution adopted by our Board of Directors on September 22, 1983. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The SEC does not supervise the management or investment practices or policies of the Separate Account or Mutual of America. The 1940 Act, however, does
regulate certain actions by the Separate Account.
NON-PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACTS
The Prospectus discusses the principal risks associated with the
Contracts, which include the financial risks associated with an investment in the Subaccounts and the Interest Accumulation Account, and that as designed to serve the pension, retirement or long-term savings needs, the Contracts are not designed to be
source of ready liquidity. Some non-principal risks include, among other things:
●
Contribution limits. As discussed in the “Taxes” section of the Prospectus, an
employee participating in certain tax-qualified defined contribution plans is subject to an annual contribution limit. Thus, the Contract is not an investment vehicle to which an employee can make unlimited Contributions (if such a feature were
desired).
●
Low interest rates. A low interest rate environment can impact annuities in several ways,
including (a) low crediting rates for fixed general account products (like the Interest Accumulation Account) and (b) possible reductions to annuity purchase rates – thereby lowering annuity payments.
Payments Received by Us from the Underlying Funds
We or our affiliates have entered into agreements with the investment adviser, transfer agent and/or distributor of certain of the Underlying Funds. Under the terms of these agreements, we or our affiliates will receive payments based on the average daily net assets invested by the Separate Account in the Underlying Funds in connection with our provision of administrative support, distribution and/or recordkeeping services to the Underlying Funds. These services provided to the Underlying Funds are in addition to the services provided
and expenses incurred by us and our affiliates in marketing and administering the variable annuity contracts.
Mutual of America’s Relationship with the
Underlying Funds
The Underlying Funds incur expenses
each time they sell, administer, or redeem their shares. The Separate Account aggregates Contractholder purchase, redemption, and transfer requests and submits net
or aggregated purchase/ redemption requests to each Underlying Fund on each Valuation Day. The Separate Account (not the Contractholders) is the Underlying Fund shareholder. When the Separate Account
aggregates transactions, the Underlying Fund does not incur the expense of processing individual transactions it would normally incur if it sold its shares directly to the public. Mutual of America incurs these expenses instead.
Mutual of America also incurs the distribution costs of selling the Contracts (as discussed above), which benefit the Underlying Funds by providing Contractholders with Subaccount options that correspond to the
Underlying Funds.
An investment adviser or subadviser of an Underlying Fund or its affiliates may provide Mutual of America with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the Contracts and may pay Mutual of America to participate in marketing activities. These activities may provide the adviser or subadviser (or their affiliates) with increased exposure to persons involved in the distribution of the Contracts.
Types of Payments Mutual of America Receives
In light of the above, the Underlying Funds and their affiliates make
certain payments to Mutual of America (the “payments”). The amount of these payments is based on a percentage of assets invested in the Underlying Funds attributable to the Contracts and other variable contracts Mutual of America issue. These payments are made for various purposes, including payments for the services provided and expenses incurred by Mutual of America in promoting, marketing and administering the Contracts and Underlying Funds. Mutual of
America may realize a profit on the payments received.
Mutual of
America receives the following types of payments:
●
Sub-transfer
agent fees or fees pursuant to administrative service plans adopted by the Underlying Fund, which may be deducted from Underlying Fund assets; and
●
Payments by an
Underlying Fund’s adviser or subadviser (or its affiliates), from their own revenues. Such payments are not from Underlying Fund assets. However, the revenues from which such
payments are made may be derived from advisory fees, which are deducted from Underlying Fund assets and are
reflected in mutual fund charges.
Furthermore, Mutual of America benefits from assets invested in Mutual of America’s affiliated Underlying Funds (i.e., MoA Funds Corporation) because it and its affiliates also receive compensation from the Underlying Funds for investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and/or other services provided. Thus, Mutual of America may receive more revenue with respect to affiliated Underlying Funds than
unaffiliated Underlying Funds.
Amount of Payments Mutual of America Receives
For the year end December 31,
2025, the Underlying Fund service fee payments Mutual of America received from the Underlying Funds did not exceed 0.25% (as a percentage of the average Daily Net
Assets invested in the Underlying Funds) offered through the Contracts or other variable contracts that Mutual of America issues. Payments from investment advisers or subadvisers to participate in marketing activities have not been taken
into account in this percentage.
Some of the Underlying Funds or their affiliates have agreed to make payments to Mutual of America, although the applicable percentages may vary from by Underlying Fund and some may not make any
payments at all. Because the amount of the actual payments Mutual of America receives depends on the assets of the Underlying Funds attributable to the Contracts, Mutual of America may receive higher payments from Underlying Funds with lower percentages (but greater assets) than from Underlying Funds that have higher
percentages (but fewer assets).
We hold title to the Separate Account’s assets, including shares of
the Underlying Funds. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of Underlying Fund shares by each of the Subaccounts. Mid-Atlantic Trust Company, located at 1251 Waterfront Place, Suite 510, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, provides trading and custodial
services for the shares of the Underlying Funds owned by us.
KPMG LLP, located at 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154, is the independent registered public accounting firm of the Separate Account. They have served as the auditor of one or more of Mutual of America Life Insurance Company’s separate accounts since 2002. They have audited the accompanying financial
statements of Mutual of America Separate Account No. 2.
PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED
Information on purchase of the Contracts and exchange privileges between the subaccounts is set forth in the Prospectus. We do not charge a sales load in connection with sales of the Contract.
We have no arrangements with any persons or entities to permit frequent transfers of contract value and no such arrangements are permitted.
Mutual of America Securities LLC (“Securities LLC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual of America, located at 320 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, serves as principal underwriter for the Contracts. Securities LLC is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). All persons engaged in selling the Contracts are our licensed agents and are duly qualified registered representatives of
Securities LLC.
We offer the Contracts for sale on a continuous basis through certain of
our employees. Securities LLC has no employees, and all registered representatives of Securities LLC are employees of Mutual of America. Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between Securities LLC and us, we cover the expenses incurred by
Securities LLC to distribute the Contracts.

Item 30. Indemnification
Charter of Depositor. The Charter of Mutual of America provides in substance that no director or officer shall be personally liable for damages for any breach
of duty as a director except when a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that the director’s acts or omissions were in bad faith, involved intentional misconduct or were acts or omissions the director knew or reasonably should have
known violated New York Insurance Law or a specific standard of care imposed on directors directly by the New York Insurance Law, or which constituted a knowing violation of any other law or allowed the director to personally gain a financial profit
or other advantage to which the director was not legally entitled.
By Laws of Depositor. The By-Laws of Mutual of America provide for the indemnification
of present and former officers and directors of the Company (a “person”) against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred, if the person acted
in good faith and for a purpose which the person necessarily believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe said conduct was unlawful. Expenses incurred
in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, or threat thereof, may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon an undertaking by or on behalf of
the person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
Insurance. Coverage for
directors and officers (“D&O”) of Mutual of America Life Insurance et al is provided under an insurance policy issued by Chubb, with excess coverage by CNA, AIG and Travelers. The aggregate limit of liability under these policies is
