Midland National Life Insurance
September 2014: A federal judge granted final approval of this settlement.
June 2014: A federal judge preliminarily approved a settlement to a class-action lawsuit against Midland National Life Insurance Company. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2011, alleges that, among other things, the company deceptively markets its deferred annuities. According to the complaint, Midland’s sales brochures market the annuities as a retirement vehicle with bonuses and asset accumulation linked to stock indexes and tax-deferred growth without also informing consumers that the company shifts the cost of bonuses and sales commissions to the consumers over time. According to the settlement terms, the benefit each class member is eligible to receive depends upon the status of the class member’s annuity as of the benefit determination date.

Midland National Life Insurance Company and Does 1-100, Case No. 11-cv-05858, C. D. CA.).
