“For retirees faced with the tough decision of when to start their Social Security payments, Nassau makes it easier with our latest innovative annuity product, Nassau Income Accelerator,” said Phil Gass, Chairman and CEO of Nassau. “Our goal in developing this product was to offer much more flexibility that would allow individuals to optimize all their retirement income sources.”
