until the following calendar year. As such, the supplemental compensation
percentage may vary from year to year, but will not exceed 8% under the current supplemental
compensation plan.
The cost of supplemental compensation is not directly charged to the price of our Products except as an
allocation of overhead expense, which is applied to all eligible group insurance products, whether or not
supplemental compensation is paid in relation to a particular sale or renewal. As a result, your rates will not
differ by whether or not your Intermediary receives supplemental compensation. If your Intermediary collects
the premium from you in relation to your Products, your Intermediary may earn a return on such amounts.
Additionally, MetLife may have a variety of other relationships with your Intermediary or its affiliates that
involve the payment of compensation and benefits that may or may not be related to your relationship with
MetLife (e.g., consulting or reinsurance arrangements).
More information about the eligibility criteria, limitations, payment calculations and other terms and
conditions under MetLife’s base compensation and supplemental compensation plans can be found on
MetLife’s Web site at www. metlife.com/brokercompensation. Questions regarding Intermediary
compensation can be directed to ask4met@metlifeservice.com, or if you would like to speak to someone
about Intermediary compensation, please call (800) ASK 4MET. In addition to the compensation paid to an
Intermediary, MetLife may also pay compensation to your MetLife sales representative. Compensation paid
to your MetLife sales representative is for participating in the sale, servicing, and/or renewal of Products,
and the compensation paid may vary based on a number of factors including the type of Product(s) and
volume of business sold. If you are the person or entity to be charged under an insurance policy or annuity
contract, you may request additional information about the compensation your MetLife sales representative
expects to receive as a result of the sale or concerning compensation for any alternative quotes presented,
by contacting your MetLife sales representative or Calling (866) 796-1800.
