FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
                 
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?
 
 
 
Yes.
If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from the contract within 12 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of account value withdrawn or contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative interim value adjustment, negative market value adjustment, and/or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties.
 
There is an interim value adjustment for amounts removed from a Segment of the SIO before Segment maturity and because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a Segment with a 3-year Segment Duration and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have elapsed, you could lose up to $
10
0,000 of your investment. This loss 
may
be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, and/or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties. We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date.
 
If amounts are removed from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date, there will be a market value adjustment which could greatly reduce the value in your fixed maturity option theoretically by up to 100% in extreme situations. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a fixed maturity option and later withdraw the entire amount before the maturity date, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss 
may
be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes and tax penalties. A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date
.
 
For additional information about the charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see “Withdrawal charge” in “Charges under the contracts” under “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus.
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
Are There Transaction Charges?
 
 
 
Yes.
In addition to withdrawal charges, interim value adjustments and market value adjustments, you may also be charged for other transactions including loans and for special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks or, third-party transfers or exchanges.
 
For additional information about transaction charges see “Charges under the contracts” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus.
 
 
  
 
 
 
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses?
   
Yes.
The contract provides for different ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay
each year
, depending on the investment options and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your contract specifications page of your certificate for information about the specific fees you will pay
each year
based on the investment options you have elected.
Although we do not charge you a direct fee to invest in the Segments under the SIO, there is an implicit ongoing fee associated with Segments because the amount you can earn on a Segment is limited by us by the Segment’s Performance Cap Rate. The Performance Cap Rate may cause your returns under the
Segment
to be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you receive some protection from Index losses through the Segment Buffer. The implicit ongoing fee from the Performance Cap Rate is not reflected in the tables below.

Charges for Early Withdrawals [Text Block]
Yes.
If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from the contract within 12 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of account value withdrawn or contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative interim value adjustment, negative market value adjustment, and/or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties.
 
There is an interim value adjustment for amounts removed from a Segment of the SIO before Segment maturity and because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a Segment with a 3-year Segment Duration and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have elapsed, you could lose up to $
10
0,000 of your investment. This loss 
may
be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, and/or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties. We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date.
 
If amounts are removed from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date, there will be a market value adjustment which could greatly reduce the value in your fixed maturity option theoretically by up to 100% in extreme situations. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a fixed maturity option and later withdraw the entire amount before the maturity date, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss 
may
be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes and tax penalties. A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date
.

Risks [Table Text Block]
RISKS
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?
 
 
 
Yes.
The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value, depending on the investment options you choose.
The return on the Segments of the SIO may be negative and there is a risk of substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance because you agree to absorb all losses to the extent they exceed the Segment Buffer.
You could lose as much as 80% (for Segments with a -20% Segment Buffer) to 90% (for Segments with a -10% Segment Buffer) of
your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance at Segment maturity, depending on the Segment Buffer applicable to the Segment in which you invest.
The cumulative loss over the life of the contract could be much greater. We do not guarantee that the contract will always offer Segments that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested in the SIO. For additional information about the risk of loss see “Principal risks of investing in the contract” in this prospectus.
  
 
Is this a Short-Term Investment?
 
 
 
No.
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. Withdrawals from a Segment of the SIO or a fixed maturity option prior to maturity may result in an interim value adjustment or market value adjustment, respectively. Amounts removed from a Segment prior to the Segment Maturity Date will not receive Index interest, and may result in a negative Segment Interim Value adjustment which could reduce the Segment Investment by significantly more than the amount withdrawn. Likewise, amounts removed from a fixed maturity option will not receive credited interest, and may result in a negative market value adjustment which could be significantly greater than the amount withdrawn. Contract value in a Segment will be reallocated at Segment Maturity according to your instructions. If you have not provided us with maturity instructions, the Segment Maturity Value will be transferred to the Segment Holding Account. Your Segment Maturity Value would then be transferred from that Segment Holding Account into the next Segment on the Segment Start Date. If the next Segment to be created would not meet the Segment Maturity Date Requirement or the Segment Type has been terminated, we will instead transfer your Segment Maturity Value to the EQ/Money Market variable investment option. Alternatively, if you designate a Performance Cap Threshold that is not met on the next Segment Start Date or if the Segment Type has been suspended, your Segment Maturity Value will remain in the Segment Holding Account. If you are impacted by these delays, you may transfer your Segment Maturity Value out of the Segment Holding Account into any other investment options available under your EQUI-VEST
®
contract at any time before the next month’s Segment Start Date.
For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see “Fee table” in this prospectus.
  
 
What Are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options?
 
 
 
An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios) or Segment of the SIO. Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option and fixed maturity options, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
 
For investments in a Segment of the SIO, the Performance Cap Rate will limit positive Index performance (e.g., limited upside). For example, if the Index Performance Rate is 10% and the Performance Cap Rate is 7%, we will credit 7% on the Segment Maturity Date assuming there are no fees or charges assessed.
This may result in you earning less than the Index Return.
 
The Segment Buffer will limit negative returns (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline). The Segment Buffer is the maximum amount of negative interest we will assume and we will credit any negative interest in excess of the Segment Buffer which means you bear all loss that exceeds the Segment Buffer. For example, if the Index Performance Rate is -25% and the Segment Buffer is -10%, we will credit -15% on the Segment Maturity Date assuming there are no fees or charges assessed.
 
Each Index is a “price return index,” not a “total return index,” and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
 
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Fixed investment options”, “Guaranteed interest option” and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in “Purchasing the contract” in the prospectus, as well as, “Risks associated with the variable investment options”, “Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option,” and “Risks associated with the fixed maturity options” in “Principal Risks of investing in the contract.” See also Appendix: “Investment options available under the contract” in this prospectus.
  
 
What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?
   
An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract’s account value and the optional benefits. The general obligations, including the guaranteed interest option, fixed maturity options, SIO, and any optional benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at www.equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.
 
For additional information about insurance company risks see “About the general account” in “More information” in this prospectus.
  
Investment Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, removing or substituting the Portfolios, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring the account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.
 
There are limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with the DCA programs. See “Allocating your contributions” in “Purchasing the contract” and “Transferring your account value” in “Transferring your money among investment options” in this prospectus for more information.
 
For more information see “About the Separate Account” in “More information” in this prospectus.
 
We determine the Performance Cap Rate for each SIO Segment on the Segment Start Date. You will not know the rate in advance. Prior to the Segment Start Date, you may elect a Performance Cap Threshold. The threshold represents the minimum Performance Cap Rate you find acceptable for a particular Segment. If we declare a cap that is lower than the threshold you specify, you will not be invested in that Segment and your account value will remain in that Segment Holding Account until the next available Segment for which your threshold is met or you provide us with alternative instructions.
You cannot transfer out of an SIO Segment prior to its maturity to another investment option. You can only make withdrawals out of a Segment or surrender your EQUI-VEST
®
contract. The amount you would receive would be calculated using the formula for the Segment Interim Value.
 
We may not offer new SIO Segments. Therefore, a Segment may not be available for you to transfer your Segment Maturity Value into after the Segment Maturity Date. We have the right to substitute an alternative index prior to Segment Maturity if the publication of the Index is discontinued or at our sole discretion we determine that our use of the Index should be discontinued or if the calculation of the Index is substantially changed. If we substitute an index for an existing Segment, we would not change the Segment Buffer or Performance Cap Rate. We would attempt to choose a substitute index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the replaced index.
 
We will not accept allocations to a fixed maturity option if on the date the contribution or transfer is to be applied the rate to maturity is 3%. This means that at points in time there may be no fixed maturity options available. You can allocate your contributions to one or more of these fixed maturity options. However, you may not allocate more than one contribution to any one fixed maturity option.
 
Contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option are limited.
 
If you elect to pay the advisory fee from your account value, then these deductions will, among other things, reduce the account value and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.
 
For additional information about restrictions on investment options, see “Portfolios of the Trusts”, “Structured Investment Options”, “Guaranteed Interest Option” and “Fixed maturity options” in “Purchasing the contract” and “Transferring your money among investment options” in this prospectus.
Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the investment options.
 
The standard and optional death benefits offered with the contract are available only at contract purchase. Withdrawals could significantly reduce or terminate the death benefit.
 
Not all employer plans will offer loans. Loans are subject to restrictions under federal tax rules and ERISA. Automated transfer programs, including dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing, are not available if you elect Semester Strategies for Series 100 and Series 200 TSA and EDC contracts only.
 
For additional information about the optional benefits see “How you can purchase and contribute to your contract” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Benefits available under the contract” in this prospectus.
Tax Implications [Text Block]
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.
 
For more information, see “Tax information” in this prospectus.
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block]
Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as “marketing allowances”). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.
 
For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see “Distribution of the contracts” in “More information” in this prospectus.
Exchanges [Text Block]
Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, as well as any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
 
For additional information about exchanges see “Charge for third-party transfer or exchange” in ”Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus.
Item 4. Fee Table [Text Block]
Fee table
 
 
 
The following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering, or making withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay
each year
based on the investment options you have elected.
 
The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the contract, surrender the contract, make certain withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract, or transfer account value between investment options.
Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply.

(1)
The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus. For certain contracts issued in New York, a different maximum withdrawal charge may apply. See Appendix: “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in the prospectus for more information.
(2)
In no event will the net loan interest charge exceed 2.00%. We charge interest on loans under your contract but also credit you interest on your loan reserve account. Our net loan interest charge is determined by the excess between the interest rate we charge over the interest rate we credit. See “Loans under TSA, governmental employer EDC and Corporate Trusteed contracts” under “Accessing your money” in the prospectus for more information on how the loan interest is calculated and for restrictions that may apply.
(3)
This charge will never exceed 2% of the amount disbursed or transferred.
(4)
Unless you specify otherwise, this charge will be deducted from the amount you request. Special service charges include (1) express mail charge; and (2) wire transfer charge. The current maximum charge for each service is $90. We may discontinue these services at any time.
 
The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the account value is removed from an investment option or from the contract before the expiration of a specified period.
 
Adjustments
           
SIO Segment Maximum Potential Loss Due to Interim Value adjustment (as a percentage of Account value invested in the Segment on the Segment Start Date)
(1)
  
100%
(2)
Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)
(3)
  
100%
 
(1)
We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date. The actual amount of the Segment Interim Value calculation is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the Segment Buffer and how the Index has performed since the Segment Start Date. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a Segment at a time when the Index price has declined to zero. If you surrender or cancel your variable annuity contract, die, transfer or make a withdrawal from a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date, the Segment Buffer will not necessarily apply to the extent it would on the Segment Maturity Date, and any upside performance will be limited to a percentage lower than the Performance Cap Rate. See “Structured Investment Option” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
(2)
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
(3)
A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. It is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See “Fixed maturity options” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
 
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay
each year
during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses).
 
Annual Contract Expenses
   
Annual Administrative Charge
(1)
  $65
Base Contract Expenses
(2)
(as a percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options):
  2.00%
 
(1)
The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. The current charge is $30. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year. For series 300 and 400 contracts, during the first two contract years this charge, if it applies, is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. Thereafter, the charge is $30 for each contract year. For series 100 and 200 contracts, the charge is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any prior withdrawals during the contract year. We may discontinue these services at any time.
(2)
The current Base Contract Expenses for Series 100 and 200 are: 1.40% for EQ/Common Stock and EQ/Money Market Options and 1.34% for all other investment options. For Series 300 the current charge is 1.34%. For Series 400 the current charge is 1.34%.
 
In addition to the fees described above, we limit the amount you can earn on a Segment of the SIO. This means your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
 
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contract, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document. See “Appendix: Investment options available under the contract.”

“Annual Portfolio Expenses” may be based, in part, on estimated amounts of such expenses. The expenses listed are for the year ended December 31, 2024.
 
Examples
 
These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the variable investment options with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable investment options. The costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Portfolio expenses.
 
These Examples assume all account value is allocated to the variable investment options. The examples do not reflect interim value adjustments or market value adjustments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in Segments of the SIO or the fixed maturity options.
 
These Examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the variable investment options for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return
each year
and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Portfolio expenses.
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Transaction Expenses [Table Text Block]
 
The following tables describe the fees, expenses, and adjustments that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering, or making withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay
each year
based on the investment options you have elected.
 
The first table describes fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the contract, surrender the contract, make certain withdrawals from an investment option or from the contract, or transfer account value between investment options.
Charges designed to approximate certain taxes that may be imposed on us, such as premium taxes in your state, may also apply.

(1)
The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus. For certain contracts issued in New York, a different maximum withdrawal charge may apply. See Appendix: “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in the prospectus for more information.
(2)
In no event will the net loan interest charge exceed 2.00%. We charge interest on loans under your contract but also credit you interest on your loan reserve account. Our net loan interest charge is determined by the excess between the interest rate we charge over the interest rate we credit. See “Loans under TSA, governmental employer EDC and Corporate Trusteed contracts” under “Accessing your money” in the prospectus for more information on how the loan interest is calculated and for restrictions that may apply.
(3)
This charge will never exceed 2% of the amount disbursed or transferred.
(4)
Unless you specify otherwise, this charge will be deducted from the amount you request. Special service charges include (1) express mail charge; and (2) wire transfer charge. The current maximum charge for each service is $90. We may discontinue these services at any time.
Sales Load (of Purchase Payments), Current [Percent] 0.00%
Deferred Sales Load (of Purchase Payments), Current [Percent] 6.00% [3]
Deferred Sales Load, Footnotes [Text Block] The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus. For certain contracts issued in New York, a different maximum withdrawal charge may apply. See Appendix: “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in the prospectus for more information.
Exchange Fee, Current [Dollars] $ 65 [4]
Exchange Fee, Footnotes [Text Block] This charge will never exceed 2% of the amount disbursed or transferred.
Annual Contract Expenses [Table Text Block]
The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the account value is removed from an investment option or from the contract before the expiration of a specified period.
 
Adjustments
           
SIO Segment Maximum Potential Loss Due to Interim Value adjustment (as a percentage of Account value invested in the Segment on the Segment Start Date)
(1)
  
100%
(2)
Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)
(3)
  
100%
 
(1)
We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date. The actual amount of the Segment Interim Value calculation is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the Segment Buffer and how the Index has performed since the Segment Start Date. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a Segment at a time when the Index price has declined to zero. If you surrender or cancel your variable annuity contract, die, transfer or make a withdrawal from a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date, the Segment Buffer will not necessarily apply to the extent it would on the Segment Maturity Date, and any upside performance will be limited to a percentage lower than the Performance Cap Rate. See “Structured Investment Option” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
(2)
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
(3)
A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. It is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See “Fixed maturity options” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
Administrative Expense, Current [Dollars] $ 65 [5]
Administrative Expense, Footnotes [Text Block] The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. The current charge is $30. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year. For series 300 and 400 contracts, during the first two contract years this charge, if it applies, is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. Thereafter, the charge is $30 for each contract year. For series 100 and 200 contracts, the charge is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any prior withdrawals during the contract year. We may discontinue these services at any time.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
3.
Principal risks of investing in the contract
 
 
 
This section discusses certain risks associated with purchasing a contract. The level of risk you bear and your potential investment performance will differ depending on the investments you choose.
 
Risks associated with variable investment options
 
You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the subaccounts, which invest in Portfolios. If the subaccounts you select increase in value, then your account value goes up; if they decrease in value, your account value goes down. How much your account value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your subaccounts invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision.
 
Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option (SIO)
 
An investor is not invested in the Index or in the securities tracked by the Index. There are unique risks regarding the SIO.
 
Limiting Negative Returns (Segment Risk of Loss)
 
 
There is a risk of a substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest despite limits on negative index returns because you agree to absorb all losses from the portion of any negative Index Performance Rate that exceeds the Segment Buffer for any Segment at maturity. Currently, the only levels of protection are the -10% or the -20% Segment Buffers at maturity. You could lose as much as 80% (for Segments with a -20% Segment Buffer) to 90% (for Segments with a -10% Segment Buffer) of your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance on the Segment Maturity Date.
 
Limiting Positive Returns (Performance Cap Rates)
 
 
Your Segment Rate of Return for a Segment is limited by its Performance Cap Rate, if applicable, which could cause your Segment Rate of Return to be lower than it would otherwise be if you invested in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the Index.
 
 
We declare a Performance Cap Rate for each Segment, which is the highest Segment Rate of Return that can be credited on the Segment Maturity Date for that Segment. The Performance Cap, if applicable, Rate may limit your participation in any increases in the underlying Index associated with a Segment. Our minimum Performance
   
Cap Rates for 1, 3, and 5-year Segments are 4%, 12%, and 20%, respectively.
We will not open a Segment
with a Performance Cap Rate below the applicable minimum
Performance Cap Rate.
In some cases, we may decide not to declare a Performance Cap Rate for a Segment, in which case there is no maximum Segment Rate of Return for that Segment.
 
 
The Performance Cap Rate is determined on the Segment Start Date. You will not know the rate in advance. Prior to the Segment Start Date, you may elect a Performance Cap Threshold. The threshold represents the minimum Performance Cap Rate you find acceptable for a particular Segment. If we declare a cap that is lower than the threshold you specify, you will not be invested in that Segment and your account value will remain in that Segment Holding Account until the next available Segment for which your threshold is met or you provide us with alternative instructions. You risk having amounts remain in Segment Holding Accounts for lengthy periods of time rather than being invested in Segments. If you do not specify a threshold, you risk the possibility that the Performance Cap Rate established will have a lower cap than you would find acceptable. We will not open a Segment if the Performance Cap Rate for 1, 3, and 5-year Segments would be less than 4%, 12%, and 20%, respectively. The Performance Cap Rate is a rate of return from the Segment Start Date to the Segment Maturity Date.
 
Risks Related to Withdrawals (Segment Interim Value)
 
 
There is a risk of loss of principal and previously credited interest in the case of a withdrawal (including an automatic or systematic withdrawal or a required minimum distribution), annuitization, death, surrender, contract cancellation, or transfer prior to a Segment Maturity Date due to charges and adjustments imposed on those distributions, and this may occur even if index performance has been positive.
 
 
The method we use in calculating your Segment Interim Value may result in an amount lower than your Segment Investment, even if the Index has experienced positive investment performance since the Segment Start Date. Also, this amount may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment until maturity.
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties.
 
 
 
If you take a withdrawal, including required minimum distributions, and there is insufficient
 
   
value in the other investment options available under your EQUI-VEST
®
contract and the Segment Holding Account, we will withdraw amounts pro rata from any active Segments in your EQUI-VEST
®
contract. Amounts withdrawn from active Segments will be valued using the formula for calculating the Segment Interim Value.
 
 
 
Amounts paid on death or surrender before the Segment Maturity Date, will be based on the Segment Interim Value.
 
 
 
Any calculation of the Segment Interim Value will generally be affected by changes in both the volatility and level of the Index, as well as interest rates. The calculation of the Segment Interim Value is linked to various factors, including the value of a basket of put and call options on the Index as described in Appendix: “Segment Interim Value”. The Segment Interim Value will generally be negatively affected by increases in the expected volatility of index prices, interest rate increases, and by poor market performance. All other factors being equal, the Segment Interim Value would be lower the earlier a withdrawal or surrender is made during a Segment. Also, for all contracts using a Performance Cap Rate limiting factor, participation in upside performance for early withdrawals is pro-rated based on the period those amounts were invested in a Segment. This means you participate to a lesser extent in upside performance the earlier you take a withdrawal.
 
 
You cannot transfer out of a Segment prior to its maturity to another investment option. You can only make withdrawals out of a Segment or surrender your EQUI-VEST® contract. The amount you would receive would be calculated using the formula for the Segment Interim Value.
 
Risks Related to Segments, Segment Returns, and Segment Type Holding Accounts
 
 
We may, in our sole discretion, not offer certain Segments on one or more Segment Start Dates.
 
 
We may not offer new Segments. Therefore, a Segment may not be available for you to transfer your Segment Maturity Value into after the Segment Maturity Date.
 
 
We have the right to substitute an alternative index prior to Segment Maturity if the publication of the Index is discontinued or at our sole discretion we determine that our use of the Index should be discontinued or if the calculation of the Index is substantially changed. If we substitute an index for an existing Segment, we would not change the Segment Buffer or Performance Cap Rate. We would attempt to choose a substitute index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the replaced index.
 
 
The amounts held in the Segment Holding Account may earn a return that is less than the return you might have earned if those amounts were held in another investment option.
 
The level of risk you bear and your potential investment performance will differ depending on the Segments you choose. All of the reference Indices are price return indices, meaning that dividends are excluding from the performance of the Index. The performance of an Index is based on changes in the values of the securities or other instruments that comprise or define the Index. The securities and instruments comprising or defining the Indices are subject to a variety of investment risks, many of which are complicated and interrelated. These risks may affect capital markets generally, specific market segments, or specific issuers. The performance of the Indices may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Negative Index performance may cause you to lose money on your investment in the contract. The historical performance of an Index or a Segment of the SIO does not guarantee future results. It is impossible to predict whether an Index will perform positively or negatively over the course of a Segment Duration.
 
 
In the highly unlikely event we were forced to stop offering new Segments, contract owners would be limited to transferring or contributing to the other investment options. You could choose to surrender your contract, but you may be subject to withdrawal charges, taxes, and tax penalties, and if you purchase another retirement vehicle, it may have different features, fees, and risks than your annuity contract. If you are buying the annuity contract for the Structured Investment Option, you should speak to your financial adviser as to whether this product is suitable for you.
 
Risks Related to Indices
 
While it is not possible to invest directly in an Index, if you choose to allocate amounts to a Segment of the SIO, you are indirectly exposed to the investment risks associated with the applicable Index. Because each Index is comprised or defined by a collection of securities, each Index is largely exposed to market risk and issuer risk.
 
Market risk is the risk that market fluctuations may cause the value of a security to fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of an issuer’s securities may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, as opposed to the market generally.
 
 
S&P Price Return Index: The S&P 500 Price Return Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.
 
 
Russell 2000
®
Price Return Index: The Russell 2000
®
Price Return Index is comprised of equity securities of small-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, the securities of small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may involve more risk than the securities of larger companies. Small-capitalization companies are more likely to fail than larger companies.
 
 
MSCI EAFE Price Return Index: The MSCI EAFE Price Return Index is an equity index that captures large and mid-cap representation across developed markets around the world. The securities comprising the MSCI EAFE Price Return Index are subject to the risks related to investments in foreign markets (e.g. increased price volatility; changing currency exchange rates; and greater political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty). In general, foreign markets may be less liquid, more volatile, and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets.
 
Risks Associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
 
An allocation to a fixed maturity option has various risks associated with it.
 
Please be aware that a market value adjustment could result in a significant loss of principal and previously credited interest. In certain extreme circumstances, it is theoretically possible to lose 100% of your investment. Specifically:
 
 
If you make any withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment. The market value adjustment may be negative.
 
 
If there is a market value adjustment and interest rates have increased from the time that you originally allocated to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges), the market value adjustment will be negative and will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
 
The amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option’s maturity date.
 
 
Therefore, it is possible that a negative market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in fixed maturity options with later maturity dates.
 
If we deduct all or a portion of a fee or charge from a fixed maturity option, a market value adjustment will apply to that deduction from the fixed maturity option. If the market value adjustment is negative, it will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the contract and fixed maturity option. An owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability.
 
Risk associated with taking an early withdrawal
 
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a
short-term investment or savings vehicle and you should consider whether investing in the contract is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
 
Withdrawals could significantly reduce the minimum death benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
 
Withdrawals may be subject to Withdrawal Charges, negative Segment Interim Value adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option (SIO)
), negative Market Value Adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
), loss of interest and the possibility of adverse tax consequences.
 
Insurance company risk
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract including amounts allocated to the SIO and fixed maturity options. The general obligations and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. You should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability.
 
Possible fees on access to account value
 
We may apply fees if you access your account value during the accumulation period or surrender your contract. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences, you may incur fees for accessing your account value such as a withdrawal charge, transfer fee, third party transfer or exchange fee, annual administrative expense, base contract expense, and/or a charge for any optional benefits.
 
Possible adverse tax consequences
 
The tax considerations associated with the contract vary and can be complicated. The applicable tax rules can differ, depending on the type of contract, whether TSA, EDC, Annuitant-Owned HR-10, Trusteed, SEP, SIMPLE IRA and SARSEP contracts. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person’s contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. Tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider further proposals to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. Before making contributions to your contract or taking other action related to your contract, you should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract.
 
Contract Changes Risk
 
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the
 
variable investment options. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with laws that apply, to remove variable investment options from the Separate Account, to combine any two or more variable investment options, to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the Separate Account, to limit or terminate contributions or transfers into any of the variable investment options, and to limit the number of variable investment options you may select.
 
You should evaluate whether our ability to make the changes described above, and your ability to react to such changes, are appropriate based on your investment goals. When such changes occur, you should also evaluate whether those changes are appropriate based on your investment goals and, if not, you should evaluate your options under the Contract, which may be limited and may have negative consequences associated with them, as described in this section.
 
Risk of loss
 
All investments have risks to some degree and it is possible that you could lose money by investing in the contract. An investment in the contract is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
 
Availability by financial intermediary
 
Some financial intermediaries (e.g., selling broker-dealer firms) may not offer and/or may limit the offering of certain features, optional benefits, and investment options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, all based on issue age or other criteria established by the selling broker-dealer. For example, a firm may choose not to recommend certain investment options that are described in this Prospectus. Before you purchase the contract, you should ask your financial professional for details about the specific features, optional benefits, and investment options available through their firm, as well as those that are not. If a particular feature that interests you is not recommended through your broker-dealer, you may want to contact us to explore its availability.
 
Risk associated with taking a loan
 
Loans will decrease your account value and death benefit, and loaned amounts will not participate in the investment experience of your investment options. There may be adverse tax consequences associated with taking a loan from your contract.
 
Business disruption, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies risks
 
We rely heavily on technology, including interconnected computer systems and data storage networks and digital communications, to conduct our variable product business. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other 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 cyberattacks. Cyber-attacks may be systemic (e.g., affecting the internet, cloud services, or other infrastructure) or targeted (e.g., failures in or breach of our systems or those of third parties on whom we rely, including ransomware and malware attacks). Cybersecurity risks include, among other things, the loss, theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our websites (or the websites of third parties on whom we rely), other operational disruption and unauthorized release, use or abuse of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Due to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, a cybersecurity breach could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. Systems failures and cyberattacks, as well as, any other catastrophic event, including natural and manmade disasters, public health emergencies, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, floods or severe storms affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us, our business operations and your account value and interfere with our ability to process contract transactions and calculate account values. Systems failures and cyberattacks may also 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 account values and unit values and/or the underlying funds to be unable to calculate share values, cause the release or possible destruction of confidential customer and/or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation 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. The preventative actions we take to reduce the frequency and severity of cybersecurity incidents and protect our computer systems may be insufficient to prevent a cybersecurity breach from impacting our operations or your contract value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid cybersecurity breaches affecting your contract.
 
The development and deployment of AI tools and technologies, including generative AI, and its use and anticipated use by us or by third parties on whom we rely, may increase our existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI and generative AI may be misused by us or by third parties upon which we rely, and that risk is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the uncertain and evolving policy and regulatory landscape governing its use. Such misuse could expose us to legal or regulatory risk. Because the generative AI technology is so new, many of the potential risks of generative AI are currently unknowable.
 
In addition, we are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, including, but not limited to, storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, or any other event, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic such as COVID-19, could result in our workforce, and/or employees of service providers and/or third-party administrators, being compromised and unable or unwilling to fully perform their responsibilities, which could likewise result in interruptions in our service. This could interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including processing orders from owners and orders with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate contract value, or have other adverse impacts on our operations. These events may also negatively affect the our service providers and intermediaries, the underlying funds and issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

Death Benefits
 
There are no restrictions on which investment options you can invest in for the death benefits. The Segments and variable investment options may be conservative in nature and you may receive a higher rate of return from other investment options. If you are seeking more aggressive investment options the allowable investments may not be appropriate for you.
 
Payment of Death Benefit
 
Beneficiary designations are subject to the terms of your plan. You designate your beneficiary when you apply for your contract. You may change your beneficiary at any time while you are alive and while the contract is in force. The change will be effective as of the date the written request is executed, whether or not you are living on the date the change is received at our processing office. We are not responsible for any beneficiary change request that we do not receive. We will send you a written confirmation when we receive your request. Generally, the owner must be the beneficiary under tax exempt employer EDC plan contracts and the trustee must be the beneficiary under most Trusteed contracts. Such owner may substitute as the beneficiary under the contract the beneficiary under the employer’s plan after your death.
 
Death benefit
 
Your contract provides a death benefit. The death benefit is equal to the greater of (i) your account value (without adjustment for any otherwise applicable negative market value adjustment) and less any outstanding loan balance and accrued interest as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect payment and (ii) the “minimum death benefit.” The minimum death benefit is equal to your total contributions, adjusted for withdrawals and any withdrawal charges and any taxes that apply, less any outstanding loan balance and accrued interest. Amounts withdrawn from any Segment before the Segment Maturity Date to pay the death benefit will reflect the Segment Interim Value calculation. For more information, see “Adjustments with respect to early distributions from Segments” in “Charges, Expenses, and Adjustments” in this prospectus.
 
If your surviving spouse rolls the death benefit proceeds over into a contract issued by us, the death proceeds will remain invested in this contract until your spouse’s contract is issued and the amount of the death benefit will be calculated as of the date we receive all requirements necessary to issue your spouse’s new contract. The amount of the death benefit will be calculated to equal the greater of (i) your account value (without adjustment for any otherwise applicable negative market value adjustment), less any outstanding loan balance and accrued interest, as of the date that your spouse’s contract is issued, and (ii) the “minimum death benefit” as of the date of your death. This means that the death benefit proceeds could vary up or down, based on investment performance, until your spouse’s new contract is issued.
 
How withdrawals affect the minimum death benefit
 
Depending upon the contract series, the contract date, and the state where your contract is issued, each withdrawal you make will reduce the amount of your current minimum death benefit on a pro rata basis. Reduction on a pro rata basis means that
we calculate the percentage of your current account value that is being withdrawn (including the amount of any withdrawal charge deducted from the contract) and we reduce your current minimum death benefit by that same percentage. For example, if your account value is $30,000, and you withdraw $12,000 you have withdrawn 40% of your account value. If your minimum death benefit was $40,000 before the withdrawal, it would be reduced by $16,000 ($40,000 x .40) and your new minimum death benefit after the withdrawal would be $24,000 ($40,000-$16,000). As this example shows,
the pro rata reduction of the death benefit can be greater than the dollar amount of the withdrawal.
Check with your financial professional.
 
Effect of the annuitant’s death
 
If the annuitant dies before the annuity payments begin, we will pay the death benefit to your beneficiary.
 
Generally, the death of the annuitant terminates the contract. However, if you are the owner and annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary the contract can be continued as follows:
 
Successor owner and annuitant for SEP, SARSEP and SIMPLE IRAs (may not be available in all states). 
If you are the owner and annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, your spouse may elect upon your death to continue the contract as the owner/annuitant and no death benefit is payable until the surviving spouse’s death. If your surviving spouse decides to continue the contract, as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the successor owner/annuitant feature, we will increase the account value to equal your minimum death benefit, if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in the account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, for series 300 and 400 withdrawal charges will no longer apply to contributions made before your death. Withdrawal charges will apply if additional contributions are made. These additional contributions will be withdrawn only after all other amounts have been withdrawn. For series 100 and 200 contracts, withdrawal charges will no longer apply and additional contributions may no longer be made.
 
The determination of spousal status is made under applicable state law; however, in the event of a conflict between federal and state law, we follow federal rules.
 
Effect of your death on the Structured Investment Option
 
Once we have received notice of your death and until the death benefit is processed, we will not make any transfers from the Segment Holding Account to a Segment. Amounts in the Segment Holding Account will be defaulted into the EQ/Money Market variable investment option on the next scheduled Segment Maturity Date. If Segments mature, the Segment Maturity Value will be transferred to the EQ/Money Market variable investment option.
 
How death benefit payment is made
 
The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (“SECURE Act”) enacted at the end of 2019 has changed key aspects of post-death distributions from tax
 
qualified and tax favored contracts such as TSAs, SEP IRAs, SARSEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs. We may be required in certain cases to pay benefits faster under existing contracts.
 
We will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary in the form of the annuity payout option you have chosen, if the option is permitted under federal tax rules in effect after your death. If you have not chosen an annuity payout option as of the time of the annuitant’s death, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit in a single sum. However, subject to any exceptions in the contract, our rules and applicable federal income tax rules, the beneficiary may elect to apply the death benefit to one or more annuity payout options we offer at the time. See “Your annuity payout options” under “Accessing your money” in this prospectus. In some cases a beneficiary may be able to do a nonspousal direct rollover to a new inherited IRA of a death benefit from a qualified plan, 403(b) plan or governmental employer 457(b) plan.
 
If the beneficiary is a natural person (i.e., not an entity such as a corporation or a trust) and so elects, death benefit proceeds can be paid through the “Equitable Access Account,” which is a draft account that works in certain respects like an interest-bearing checking account. In that case, we will send the beneficiary a draftbook, and the beneficiary will have immediate access to the proceeds by writing a draft for all or part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds. The Company will retain the funds until a draft is presented for payment. Interest on the Equitable Access Account is earned from the date we establish the account until the account is closed by your beneficiary or by us if the account balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, which is currently $1,000. The Equitable Access Account is part of the Company’s general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. We will receive any investment earnings during the period such amounts remain in the general account. The Equitable Access Account is not a bank account or a checking account and it is not insured by the FDIC. Funds held by insurance companies in the general account are guaranteed by the respective state guaranty association.
 
Beneficiary continuation option (For TSAs, SEPs, SARSEP and SIMPLE IRAs only) — May not be available in all states
 
Depending on the beneficiary, this option may be restricted or may no longer be available for deaths after December 31, 2019, due to the changes made by the SECURE Act. Upon your death under a TSA, SEP, SARSEP or SIMPLE IRA contract, your beneficiary may generally elect to keep the contract with your name on it and receive distributions under the contract instead of receiving the death benefit in a single sum. If the election is made, then as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract.
 
If eligible, your beneficiary can elect to receive payments over your beneficiary’s life expectancy (determined in the calendar year after your death and determined on a term certain basis).
This feature must be elected by September 30th of the year following the calendar year of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. These payments must begin no later than December 31st of the calendar year after the year of your death. For sole spousal beneficiaries, payments may begin by December 31st of the calendar year in which you would have reached the applicable RMD age (as described under “Tax Information” later in this prospectus), if such time is later. For deaths after December 31, 2019, only specified individuals who are “eligible designated beneficiaries” or “EDBs” may generally stretch post-death payments over the beneficiary’s life expectancy. See required minimum distributions after your death in this prospectus under Tax Information. Individual beneficiaries who do not have EDB status (including beneficiaries named by the original beneficiary to receive any remaining interest after the death of the original beneficiary) must take out any remaining interest in the IRA or plan within 10 years of the applicable death in accordance with federal tax rules. In the case of deceased participants under government employer sponsored plans, these new rules apply to deaths after December 31, 2021.
 
Under the beneficiary continuation option:
 
  The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary.
 
  This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose.
 
  If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary’s share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the beneficiary’s own life expectancy, if payments over life expectancy are chosen by an eligible beneficiary.
 
  The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the beneficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary.
 
  The beneficiary may make transfers among the investment options, but no additional contributions will be permitted.
 
  Loans will no longer be available for TSA contracts.
 
  Any death benefit provision (including the minimum death benefit provision) will no longer be in effect.
 
  The beneficiary may choose at any time to withdraw all or a portion of the account value and no withdrawal charges will apply.
 
  Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300.
 
  Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract.
 
 
Depending on the type of contract you own, upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary he or she has named has the option to either continue taking required minimum distributions based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. In certain cases, the subsequent beneficiary must withdraw any
 
   
remaining amount within ten years of your death or your beneficiary’s death as applicable. See “Tax information” in this prospectus.
 
The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment.
 
The beneficiary continuation option may not be available in your state. Check with your financial professional or our processing office regarding availability in your state.
 
How the Structured Investment Option affects the Beneficiary continuation option
 
Under the Beneficiary continuation option, if you have any account value in a Segment or Segment Holding Account:
 
 
The transfer restrictions on amounts in Segments prior to election of the beneficiary continuation option remain in place. Any amounts in Segments may not be transferred out of the Segments until their Segment Maturity Dates. The Segment Maturity Value may be reinvested in other investment options. However, if the beneficiary is subject to the “10-year rule,” amounts may not be invested in Segments with Segment Maturity Dates later than December 31st of the calendar year which contains the tenth anniversary of your death.
 
 
If there is more than one beneficiary, then as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature for the first beneficiary, all Segments will continue for each beneficiary.
 
 
An eligible designated beneficiary who chooses to receive annual payments over his life expectancy should consult his tax adviser about selecting Segments that provide sufficient liquidity to satisfy the payout requirements under this option. For more information, please see “Required minimum distributions” under “Tax Information” in this prospectus.
 
Other Benefits
 
Investment simplifier
 
Our Investment simplifier program allows you to choose from two automatic options for transferring amounts from the guaranteed interest option to the variable investment options. The transfer options are the “fixed-dollar option” and the “interest sweep.” You may select one or the other, but not both. If you elect to use rebalancing option II (discussed below), you may not choose either of the investment simplifier options.
 
Fixed-dollar option.
 Under this option you may elect to have a fixed-dollar amount transferred out of the guaranteed interest option and into the variable investment options of your choice on a monthly basis. You can specify the number of monthly transfers or instruct us to continue to make monthly transfers until all available amounts in the guaranteed interest option have been transferred out.
In order to elect the fixed-dollar option, you must have a minimum of $5,000 in the guaranteed interest option on the date we receive your election form at our processing office. You also must elect to transfer at least $50 per month. The fixed-dollar option is subject to the guaranteed interest option transfer limitation described above under “Transferring your account value.”
 
Interest sweep.
 Under the interest sweep, we will make transfers on a monthly basis from amounts in the guaranteed interest option. The amount we will transfer will be the interest credited to amounts you have in the guaranteed interest option from the last business day of the prior month to the last business day of the current month. You must have at least $7,500 in the guaranteed interest option on the date we receive your election and on the last business day of each month thereafter to participate in the interest sweep option.
 
The fixed-dollar and interest sweep options are forms of dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging allows you to gradually allocate amounts to the variable investment options by periodically transferring approximately the same dollar amount to the variable investment options you select. This will cause you to purchase more units if the unit’s value is low and fewer units if the unit’s value is high. Therefore, you may get a lower average cost per unit over the long term. This plan of investing, however, does not guarantee that you will earn a profit or be protected against losses.
 
When your participation in the investment simplifier will end.
 Your participation in the investment simplifier will end:
 
  Under the fixed-dollar option, when either the number of designated monthly transfers have been completed or the amount you have available in the guaranteed interest option has been transferred out.
 
  Under the interest sweep option, when the amount you have in the guaranteed interest option falls below $7,500 (determined on the last business day of the month) for two months in a row.
 
  Under either option, on the date we receive at our processing office, your written request to cancel automatic transfers, or on the date your contract terminates.
 
Rebalancing your account value
 
Our rebalancing program offers two options that you can use to automatically reallocate your account value. Option I permits reallocation among the variable investment options only and option II permits reallocation among the variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option. To enroll in the asset rebalancing program, you must notify us in writing by completing our asset rebalancing form, instructing us:
 
(a)
in whole percentages only, the percentage you want invested in each variable investment option (and the guaranteed interest option, if applicable), and
 
(b)
how often you want the rebalancing to occur (quarterly, semiannually, or annually).
 
While your rebalancing program is in effect, we will transfer amounts among each variable investment option (and the guaranteed interest option, if applicable), so that the percentage of your account value that you specify is
 
invested in each option at the end of each rebalancing date. Your entire account value in the variable investment options (and guaranteed interest option, if applicable) must be included in the rebalancing program. Currently, we permit rebalancing of up to 20 investment options. Transfer restrictions out of the guaranteed interest option may apply in accordance with the last two bullets under “Transferring your account value” above in this section. The initial transfer under the rebalancing program (based on your account value as of the day before the program is established) is not permitted to cause the transfer restrictions to be violated, and any rebalancing election that would be a violation of the transfer restrictions will not be put into effect. However, if the program can be established, once it is in effect, the transfer restrictions will be waived for the rebalancing transfers.
 
 
Rebalancing does not assure a profit or protect against loss. You should periodically review your allocation percentages as your needs change. You may want to discuss the rebalancing program with your financial professional before electing the program.
 
 
To be eligible, you must have (i) at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options for option I, or (ii) at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, combined for option II. We may waive this $5,000 requirement. Rebalancing is not available for amounts you have allocated in the fixed maturity options.
 
If you elect to use option II, you may not choose either of the investment simplifier automatic options.
 
You may elect or terminate the rebalancing program at any time. You may also change your allocations under the program at any time. Once enrolled in the rebalancing program, it will remain in effect until you instruct us in writing to terminate the program. Requesting an investment option transfer while enrolled in our rebalancing program will not automatically change your allocation instructions for rebalancing your account value. This means that upon the next scheduled rebalancing, we will transfer amounts among your investment options pursuant to the allocation instructions previously on file for your program. Changes to your allocation instructions for the rebalancing program (or termination of your enrollment in the program) must be in writing and sent to our processing office.
 
For TSA, Corporate Trusteed and certain governmental employer EDC contracts with outstanding loans only,
on any rebalancing date where the amount to be transferred from the guaranteed interest option would cause a transfer from the Loan Reserve Account (which is part of the guaranteed interest option), the rebalancing program will be automatically cancelled. (See “Loans under TSA, governmental employer EDC and Corporate Trusteed contracts” in “Accessing your money” in this prospectus.)
 
Optional Semester Strategies program (For Series 100 and Series 200 TSA and EDC contracts only)
 
The Company offers access to account services through SWBC Investment Advisory Services LLC (“SWBC”), an
unaffiliated third party. SWBC is an independent registered investment advisory firm that assists retirement plan participants with investment advisory services, including model portfolio services. If available under your employer’s plan, you may generally enroll in SWBC’s model portfolio and investment advisory services program (the “Program”) to manage your account value. The investment advisor will have an advisory relationship with contract owners who participate in the Program. The Program will allocate your account value among the variable investment options, guaranteed interest option and Segments in the Structured Investment Option based on your set time horizon, risk tolerance and investment return objectives derived by SWBC from information you provide to SWBC. For more information about the Structured Investment Option, please see the “Structured Investment Option” in “Purchasing the Contract”. To see if the Program is available in your state, please contact your financial professional and/or see Appendix “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in this prospectus. SWBC’s Form ADV is provided at enrollment and is also available upon request and on SWBC’s website.
 
SWBC will assign you to a specific Program model portfolio (“Model Portfolio”) based on two main criteria: time horizon and risk tolerance. First, they will determine the age you plan to retire (the “Planned Retirement Age”), which cannot be later than the maturity date under the contract and the Model Portfolio strategy you select. SWBC’s Programs generally offers Model Portfolios with five different time horizons, which are named accordingly:
 
 
16+ years
to retirement
 
 
11-15 years
to retirement
 
 
6-10 years
to retirement
 
 
1-5 years
to retirement
 
 
Post-retirement
 
You can generally change your Planned Retirement Age at any time by providing the new retirement age to SWBC.
 
Next, SWBC will consider your “risk tolerance”. Together, you will determine if you want more or less exposure to equities. The Program currently offers the above Model Portfolios using two different strategies. Based on your risk tolerance, you can choose:
 
 
Semester Strategies
has more exposure to equities. Semester Strategies allocates approximately 20% of your assets into multiple 1-year Standard Segments and the remaining assets into fixed income and equity variable investment options (shifting from more equities to more fixed income as you glide between models as you approach retirement).
 
 
Semester Strategies Plus
has less exposure to equities. Semester Strategies Plus initially allocates a higher percentage of your assets into multiple 1-year Standard Segments than Semester Strategies (gradually increasing the allocation to 1-year Standard Segments) and the
 
   
remaining assets into fixed income and equity variable investment options (shifting from more equities, but less than Semester Strategies, to more fixed income as you glide between models as you approach retirement).
 
You can generally change from Semester Strategies to Semester Strategies Plus at any time. You cannot, however, move from Semester Strategies Plus to Semester Strategies.
 
The Model Portfolios may have limited investment options which may be more conservative than other investment options which may limit the upside potential for your contract. There is a risk of loss in all the Model Portfolios.
 
When you enroll in the Program, your allocation instructions for future contributions will be changed to the Model Portfolio you are assigned to by SWBC as of the date we process your enrollment request. In addition, your entire account value will be rebalanced or reallocated periodically according to the Model Portfolio’s allocations. Amounts in variable investment options, including the Segment Type Holding Accounts, and guaranteed interest options will be rebalanced according to the Model Portfolio’s allocations monthly, generally on the first Friday of every month (each a “Semester Strategies Rebalance Date”) and amounts in a Segment will be reallocated according to the Model Portfolio’s allocations when that Segment matures (each a “Semester Strategies Reallocation Date”). Amounts rebalanced or reallocated into new Segments will be placed in the applicable Segment Type Holding Accounts. Because of the difference in timing between Semester Strategies Rebalance Dates, Semester Strategies Reallocation Dates and amounts directed into Segments first being placed in Segment Type Holding Accounts, your actual allocations may vary from the Model Portfolio’s allocations at certain points in time if you have account value in Segments. If an investment option in a Model Portfolio terminates, liquidates, merges, or closes to new investors, SWBC will determine what course of action to take and will update the Model Portfolio’s allocations as necessary.
 
On an annual basis, the Program will determine if you will transition or “glide” from one Model Portfolio to the next Model Portfolio based on your birthdate and the number of years remaining until your Planned Retirement Age currently on file. If a glide is scheduled to occur, your allocation instructions for future contributions will be changed to the new Model Portfolio allocations. Your account value will be rebalanced and reallocated as applicable into the investment options according that new Model Portfolio’s allocations on the next Semester Strategies Rebalance Date and applicable Semester Strategies Reallocation Dates. You will receive notice of an upcoming glide. The automatic glide feature is part of the Program and cannot be modified. If you do not want to glide from the current Model Portfolio to the next Model Portfolio, you will have to change your Planned Retirement Age prior to your birthdate. Once you reach your Planned Retirement Age, you will glide to the post-retirement Model Portfolio for purposes of the Program and thereafter you will no longer glide to a different Model Portfolio as you continue to age.
SWBC will generally review the Model Portfolios on an annual basis and may review them more frequently based on market conditions. SWBC may also terminate a Model Portfolio and assign you to a new Model Portfolio. You will receive notice of any changes in the Model Portfolio allocations. You may decide to opt out of the changes by terminating your participation in the Program and becoming self-directed prior to your account value being rebalanced and reallocated as applicable according to the new Model Portfolio allocations. If you do not opt out, on the date of the proposed change your allocation instructions for future contributions will be changed to the Model Portfolio’s new allocations. Your account value will be rebalanced and reallocated as applicable into the investment options according to that Model Portfolio’s new allocations on the next Semester Strategies Rebalance Date and applicable Semester Strategies Reallocation Dates.
 
To participate in the Program, you are required to use the Maximum investment options choice method. If you elected the Maximum transfer flexibility method before enrolling in the Program, you will be switched to the Maximum investment options choice method when you enroll in the Program. In addition, when you enroll in the Program, any current automated transfer programs, including dollar cost averaging, and asset rebalancing, will be unavailable and/or terminate and you will not be able to establish any new program(s) while you participate. In addition, if you invested in the Structured Investment Option and specified a Performance Cap Threshold and/or provided Segment maturity instructions, those elections will be changed when you enroll in the Program. For more information about the Structured Investment Option, please see the “Structured Investment Option” in “Purchasing the Contract” in this prospectus.
 
When you enroll in the Program, we will pay SWBC’s advisory services fee on your behalf.
 
You may terminate the Program and become self-directed at any time by completing the necessary termination form or by contacting your financial professional. You can also terminate your participation in the Program by logging into your account at www.equitable.com or contacting one of our customer service representatives at (800)
628-6673.
If you request to change your future allocation instructions or make a transfer from one investment option to another, your participation in the Program will terminate and you will become self-directed. Once terminated, we reserve the right to not permit you to
re-enroll
in the Program. If the Program terminates for any reason, you will be self-directed and, therefore, you will no longer receive model portfolio or investment advisory services from SWBC. If the Program terminates you will remain in your existing investment options until you provide us with new instructions. We can also terminate the Program at any time and for any reason. If we terminate the Program you will become self-directed. We do not provide investment advice. Please note that if you were switched from the Maximum transfer flexibility method to the Maximum investment options choice method when you enrolled in the Program you will not be automatically switched back to the Maximum transfer flexibility
 
method if your participation in the Program terminates. Likewise, if any automated programs, a Performance Cap Threshold or Segment maturity instructions were terminated when you enrolled in the Program, those automated programs, Performance Cap Thresholds or special maturity instructions will not automatically resume; you will need to provide us with new instructions regarding which automated programs that you wish to
re-enroll
in, any Performance Cap Threshold you wish to set and any new Segment maturity instructions you want to use.
 
Please note:
 
  Your Planned Retirement Age cannot be later than the maturity date under your contract.
 
  If you have current investments in the Structured Investment Option, you may not be eligible to participate in the Program if your current Structured Investment Option allocations are higher than the Model Portfolio allocations to the Structured Investment Option would be based on the information you provided SWBC.
 
  You cannot move from Semester Strategies Plus to Semester Strategies.
 
  If you change your future allocations or transfer account value from one investment option to another, your participation in the Program will terminate and you will become self-directed.
 
  When you enroll in the Program, you will not be able to establish a new automated rebalancing program and any current automated rebalancing program will terminate.
 
  The Program will rebalance and reallocate your account value generally according to the Model Portfolio allocations; however, because of the difference in timing between Semester Strategies Rebalance Dates, Semester Strategies Reallocation Dates and amounts directed into Segments first being placed in Segment Type Holding Accounts, your actual allocations may vary from the Model Portfolio allocations at certain points in time if you have account value in Segments.
 
For additional information or to enroll in the Program, contact your financial professional or one of our customer service representatives. The Program may not be available to all plans, all contracts, all certificates, in all states or through all financial intermediaries.

Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
Yes.
The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value, depending on the investment options you choose.
The return on the Segments of the SIO may be negative and there is a risk of substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance because you agree to absorb all losses to the extent they exceed the Segment Buffer.
You could lose as much as 80% (for Segments with a -20% Segment Buffer) to 90% (for Segments with a -10% Segment Buffer) of
your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance at Segment maturity, depending on the Segment Buffer applicable to the Segment in which you invest.
The cumulative loss over the life of the contract could be much greater. We do not guarantee that the contract will always offer Segments that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested in the SIO. For additional information about the risk of loss see “Principal risks of investing in the contract” in this prospectus.
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risk of loss
 
All investments have risks to some degree and it is possible that you could lose money by investing in the contract. An investment in the contract is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
C000024805 [Member] | Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
No.
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. Withdrawals from a Segment of the SIO or a fixed maturity option prior to maturity may result in an interim value adjustment or market value adjustment, respectively. Amounts removed from a Segment prior to the Segment Maturity Date will not receive Index interest, and may result in a negative Segment Interim Value adjustment which could reduce the Segment Investment by significantly more than the amount withdrawn. Likewise, amounts removed from a fixed maturity option will not receive credited interest, and may result in a negative market value adjustment which could be significantly greater than the amount withdrawn. Contract value in a Segment will be reallocated at Segment Maturity according to your instructions. If you have not provided us with maturity instructions, the Segment Maturity Value will be transferred to the Segment Holding Account. Your Segment Maturity Value would then be transferred from that Segment Holding Account into the next Segment on the Segment Start Date. If the next Segment to be created would not meet the Segment Maturity Date Requirement or the Segment Type has been terminated, we will instead transfer your Segment Maturity Value to the EQ/Money Market variable investment option. Alternatively, if you designate a Performance Cap Threshold that is not met on the next Segment Start Date or if the Segment Type has been suspended, your Segment Maturity Value will remain in the Segment Holding Account. If you are impacted by these delays, you may transfer your Segment Maturity Value out of the Segment Holding Account into any other investment options available under your EQUI-VEST
®
contract at any time before the next month’s Segment Start Date.
For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see “Fee table” in this prospectus.
C000024805 [Member] | Investment Options Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios) or Segment of the SIO. Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option and fixed maturity options, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
 
For investments in a Segment of the SIO, the Performance Cap Rate will limit positive Index performance (e.g., limited upside). For example, if the Index Performance Rate is 10% and the Performance Cap Rate is 7%, we will credit 7% on the Segment Maturity Date assuming there are no fees or charges assessed.
This may result in you earning less than the Index Return.
 
The Segment Buffer will limit negative returns (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline). The Segment Buffer is the maximum amount of negative interest we will assume and we will credit any negative interest in excess of the Segment Buffer which means you bear all loss that exceeds the Segment Buffer. For example, if the Index Performance Rate is -25% and the Segment Buffer is -10%, we will credit -15% on the Segment Maturity Date assuming there are no fees or charges assessed.
 
Each Index is a “price return index,” not a “total return index,” and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
 
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Fixed investment options”, “Guaranteed interest option” and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in “Purchasing the contract” in the prospectus, as well as, “Risks associated with the variable investment options”, “Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option,” and “Risks associated with the fixed maturity options” in “Principal Risks of investing in the contract.” See also Appendix: “Investment options available under the contract” in this prospectus.

No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract including amounts allocated to the SIO and fixed maturity options. The general obligations and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability.

Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risks associated with variable investment options
 
You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the subaccounts, which invest in Portfolios. If the subaccounts you select increase in value, then your account value goes up; if they decrease in value, your account value goes down. How much your account value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your subaccounts invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision.
C000024805 [Member] | Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option SIO [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option (SIO)
 
An investor is not invested in the Index or in the securities tracked by the Index. There are unique risks regarding the SIO.
 
Limiting Negative Returns (Segment Risk of Loss)
 
 
There is a risk of a substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest despite limits on negative index returns because you agree to absorb all losses from the portion of any negative Index Performance Rate that exceeds the Segment Buffer for any Segment at maturity. Currently, the only levels of protection are the -10% or the -20% Segment Buffers at maturity. You could lose as much as 80% (for Segments with a -20% Segment Buffer) to 90% (for Segments with a -10% Segment Buffer) of your principal and previously credited interest due to negative index performance on the Segment Maturity Date.
 
Limiting Positive Returns (Performance Cap Rates)
 
 
Your Segment Rate of Return for a Segment is limited by its Performance Cap Rate, if applicable, which could cause your Segment Rate of Return to be lower than it would otherwise be if you invested in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the Index.
 
 
We declare a Performance Cap Rate for each Segment, which is the highest Segment Rate of Return that can be credited on the Segment Maturity Date for that Segment. The Performance Cap, if applicable, Rate may limit your participation in any increases in the underlying Index associated with a Segment. Our minimum Performance
   
Cap Rates for 1, 3, and 5-year Segments are 4%, 12%, and 20%, respectively.
We will not open a Segment
with a Performance Cap Rate below the applicable minimum
Performance Cap Rate.
In some cases, we may decide not to declare a Performance Cap Rate for a Segment, in which case there is no maximum Segment Rate of Return for that Segment.
 
 
The Performance Cap Rate is determined on the Segment Start Date. You will not know the rate in advance. Prior to the Segment Start Date, you may elect a Performance Cap Threshold. The threshold represents the minimum Performance Cap Rate you find acceptable for a particular Segment. If we declare a cap that is lower than the threshold you specify, you will not be invested in that Segment and your account value will remain in that Segment Holding Account until the next available Segment for which your threshold is met or you provide us with alternative instructions. You risk having amounts remain in Segment Holding Accounts for lengthy periods of time rather than being invested in Segments. If you do not specify a threshold, you risk the possibility that the Performance Cap Rate established will have a lower cap than you would find acceptable. We will not open a Segment if the Performance Cap Rate for 1, 3, and 5-year Segments would be less than 4%, 12%, and 20%, respectively. The Performance Cap Rate is a rate of return from the Segment Start Date to the Segment Maturity Date.
 
Risks Related to Withdrawals (Segment Interim Value)
 
 
There is a risk of loss of principal and previously credited interest in the case of a withdrawal (including an automatic or systematic withdrawal or a required minimum distribution), annuitization, death, surrender, contract cancellation, or transfer prior to a Segment Maturity Date due to charges and adjustments imposed on those distributions, and this may occur even if index performance has been positive.
 
 
The method we use in calculating your Segment Interim Value may result in an amount lower than your Segment Investment, even if the Index has experienced positive investment performance since the Segment Start Date. Also, this amount may be less than the amount you would receive had you held the investment until maturity.
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, or if you have to pay taxes or tax penalties.
 
 
 
If you take a withdrawal, including required minimum distributions, and there is insufficient
 
   
value in the other investment options available under your EQUI-VEST
®
contract and the Segment Holding Account, we will withdraw amounts pro rata from any active Segments in your EQUI-VEST
®
contract. Amounts withdrawn from active Segments will be valued using the formula for calculating the Segment Interim Value.
 
 
 
Amounts paid on death or surrender before the Segment Maturity Date, will be based on the Segment Interim Value.
 
 
 
Any calculation of the Segment Interim Value will generally be affected by changes in both the volatility and level of the Index, as well as interest rates. The calculation of the Segment Interim Value is linked to various factors, including the value of a basket of put and call options on the Index as described in Appendix: “Segment Interim Value”. The Segment Interim Value will generally be negatively affected by increases in the expected volatility of index prices, interest rate increases, and by poor market performance. All other factors being equal, the Segment Interim Value would be lower the earlier a withdrawal or surrender is made during a Segment. Also, for all contracts using a Performance Cap Rate limiting factor, participation in upside performance for early withdrawals is pro-rated based on the period those amounts were invested in a Segment. This means you participate to a lesser extent in upside performance the earlier you take a withdrawal.
 
 
You cannot transfer out of a Segment prior to its maturity to another investment option. You can only make withdrawals out of a Segment or surrender your EQUI-VEST® contract. The amount you would receive would be calculated using the formula for the Segment Interim Value.
 
Risks Related to Segments, Segment Returns, and Segment Type Holding Accounts
 
 
We may, in our sole discretion, not offer certain Segments on one or more Segment Start Dates.
 
 
We may not offer new Segments. Therefore, a Segment may not be available for you to transfer your Segment Maturity Value into after the Segment Maturity Date.
 
 
We have the right to substitute an alternative index prior to Segment Maturity if the publication of the Index is discontinued or at our sole discretion we determine that our use of the Index should be discontinued or if the calculation of the Index is substantially changed. If we substitute an index for an existing Segment, we would not change the Segment Buffer or Performance Cap Rate. We would attempt to choose a substitute index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the replaced index.
 
 
The amounts held in the Segment Holding Account may earn a return that is less than the return you might have earned if those amounts were held in another investment option.
 
The level of risk you bear and your potential investment performance will differ depending on the Segments you choose. All of the reference Indices are price return indices, meaning that dividends are excluding from the performance of the Index. The performance of an Index is based on changes in the values of the securities or other instruments that comprise or define the Index. The securities and instruments comprising or defining the Indices are subject to a variety of investment risks, many of which are complicated and interrelated. These risks may affect capital markets generally, specific market segments, or specific issuers. The performance of the Indices may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Negative Index performance may cause you to lose money on your investment in the contract. The historical performance of an Index or a Segment of the SIO does not guarantee future results. It is impossible to predict whether an Index will perform positively or negatively over the course of a Segment Duration.
 
 
In the highly unlikely event we were forced to stop offering new Segments, contract owners would be limited to transferring or contributing to the other investment options. You could choose to surrender your contract, but you may be subject to withdrawal charges, taxes, and tax penalties, and if you purchase another retirement vehicle, it may have different features, fees, and risks than your annuity contract. If you are buying the annuity contract for the Structured Investment Option, you should speak to your financial adviser as to whether this product is suitable for you.
 
Risks Related to Indices
 
While it is not possible to invest directly in an Index, if you choose to allocate amounts to a Segment of the SIO, you are indirectly exposed to the investment risks associated with the applicable Index. Because each Index is comprised or defined by a collection of securities, each Index is largely exposed to market risk and issuer risk.
 
Market risk is the risk that market fluctuations may cause the value of a security to fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of an issuer’s securities may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, as opposed to the market generally.
 
 
S&P Price Return Index: The S&P 500 Price Return Index is comprised of equity securities issued by large-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, large-capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.
 
 
Russell 2000
®
Price Return Index: The Russell 2000
®
Price Return Index is comprised of equity securities of small-capitalization U.S. companies. In general, the securities of small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may involve more risk than the securities of larger companies. Small-capitalization companies are more likely to fail than larger companies.
 
 
MSCI EAFE Price Return Index: The MSCI EAFE Price Return Index is an equity index that captures large and mid-cap representation across developed markets around the world. The securities comprising the MSCI EAFE Price Return Index are subject to the risks related to investments in foreign markets (e.g. increased price volatility; changing currency exchange rates; and greater political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty). In general, foreign markets may be less liquid, more volatile, and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets.

Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risks Associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
 
An allocation to a fixed maturity option has various risks associated with it.
 
Please be aware that a market value adjustment could result in a significant loss of principal and previously credited interest. In certain extreme circumstances, it is theoretically possible to lose 100% of your investment. Specifically:
 
 
If you make any withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment. The market value adjustment may be negative.
 
 
If there is a market value adjustment and interest rates have increased from the time that you originally allocated to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges), the market value adjustment will be negative and will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
 
The amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option’s maturity date.
 
 
Therefore, it is possible that a negative market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in fixed maturity options with later maturity dates.
 
If we deduct all or a portion of a fee or charge from a fixed maturity option, a market value adjustment will apply to that deduction from the fixed maturity option. If the market value adjustment is negative, it will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the contract and fixed maturity option. An owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability.

short-term investment or savings vehicle and you should consider whether investing in the contract is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
 
Withdrawals could significantly reduce the minimum death benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
 
Withdrawals may be subject to Withdrawal Charges, negative Segment Interim Value adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Structured Investment Option (SIO)
), negative Market Value Adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
), loss of interest and the possibility of adverse tax consequences.

Possible fees on access to account value
 
We may apply fees if you access your account value during the accumulation period or surrender your contract. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences, you may incur fees for accessing your account value such as a withdrawal charge, transfer fee, third party transfer or exchange fee, annual administrative expense, base contract expense, and/or a charge for any optional benefits.

Possible adverse tax consequences
 
The tax considerations associated with the contract vary and can be complicated. The applicable tax rules can differ, depending on the type of contract, whether TSA, EDC, Annuitant-Owned HR-10, Trusteed, SEP, SIMPLE IRA and SARSEP contracts. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person’s contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. Tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider further proposals to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. Before making contributions to your contract or taking other action related to your contract, you should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract.

Contract Changes Risk
 
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the
 
variable investment options. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with laws that apply, to remove variable investment options from the Separate Account, to combine any two or more variable investment options, to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the Separate Account, to limit or terminate contributions or transfers into any of the variable investment options, and to limit the number of variable investment options you may select.
 
You should evaluate whether our ability to make the changes described above, and your ability to react to such changes, are appropriate based on your investment goals. When such changes occur, you should also evaluate whether those changes are appropriate based on your investment goals and, if not, you should evaluate your options under the Contract, which may be limited and may have negative consequences associated with them, as described in this section.

Availability by financial intermediary
 
Some financial intermediaries (e.g., selling broker-dealer firms) may not offer and/or may limit the offering of certain features, optional benefits, and investment options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, all based on issue age or other criteria established by the selling broker-dealer. For example, a firm may choose not to recommend certain investment options that are described in this Prospectus. Before you purchase the contract, you should ask your financial professional for details about the specific features, optional benefits, and investment options available through their firm, as well as those that are not. If a particular feature that interests you is not recommended through your broker-dealer, you may want to contact us to explore its availability.

Risk associated with taking a loan
 
Loans will decrease your account value and death benefit, and loaned amounts will not participate in the investment experience of your investment options. There may be adverse tax consequences associated with taking a loan from your contract.
C000024805 [Member] | Business disruption cybersecurity and artificial intelligence AI technologies risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Business disruption, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies risks
 
We rely heavily on technology, including interconnected computer systems and data storage networks and digital communications, to conduct our variable product business. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other 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 cyberattacks. Cyber-attacks may be systemic (e.g., affecting the internet, cloud services, or other infrastructure) or targeted (e.g., failures in or breach of our systems or those of third parties on whom we rely, including ransomware and malware attacks). Cybersecurity risks include, among other things, the loss, theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our websites (or the websites of third parties on whom we rely), other operational disruption and unauthorized release, use or abuse of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Due to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, a cybersecurity breach could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. Systems failures and cyberattacks, as well as, any other catastrophic event, including natural and manmade disasters, public health emergencies, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, floods or severe storms affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us, our business operations and your account value and interfere with our ability to process contract transactions and calculate account values. Systems failures and cyberattacks may also 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 account values and unit values and/or the underlying funds to be unable to calculate share values, cause the release or possible destruction of confidential customer and/or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation 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. The preventative actions we take to reduce the frequency and severity of cybersecurity incidents and protect our computer systems may be insufficient to prevent a cybersecurity breach from impacting our operations or your contract value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid cybersecurity breaches affecting your contract.
 
The development and deployment of AI tools and technologies, including generative AI, and its use and anticipated use by us or by third parties on whom we rely, may increase our existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI and generative AI may be misused by us or by third parties upon which we rely, and that risk is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the uncertain and evolving policy and regulatory landscape governing its use. Such misuse could expose us to legal or regulatory risk. Because the generative AI technology is so new, many of the potential risks of generative AI are currently unknowable.
 
In addition, we are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, including, but not limited to, storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, or any other event, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic such as COVID-19, could result in our workforce, and/or employees of service providers and/or third-party administrators, being compromised and unable or unwilling to fully perform their responsibilities, which could likewise result in interruptions in our service. This could interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including processing orders from owners and orders with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate contract value, or have other adverse impacts on our operations. These events may also negatively affect the our service providers and intermediaries, the underlying funds and issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

Fees and Expenses [Text Block]
FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?
   
Yes.
If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from the contract within 12 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of account value withdrawn or contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative market value adjustment, and/or if you have to pay taxes, or tax penalties.
 
If amounts are removed from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date, there will be a market value adjustment which could greatly reduce the value in your fixed maturity option theoretically by up to 100% in extreme situations. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a fixed maturity option and later withdraw the entire amount before the maturity date, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a withdrawal charge, taxes and tax penalties. A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date.
 
For additional information about the charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see “Withdrawal charge” in “Charges under the contracts” under “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus.
 
Are There Transaction Charges?
 
 
 
Yes.
In addition to withdrawal charges and market value adjustments, you may also be charged for other transactions for special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks or third-party transfers or exchanges.

Risks [Table Text Block]
RISKS
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?
  
Yes.
The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value, depending on the investment options you choose. For additional information about the risk of loss see “Principal risks of investing in the contract” in this prospectus.
 
Is this a Short-Term Investment?
  
No.
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties. For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see “Fee table” in this prospectus.
 
What Are the Risks Associated with the Investment options?
  
An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option and fixed maturity options has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
 
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Fixed investment options”, “Guaranteed interest option” and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in “Purchasing the contract” in the prospectus, as well as, “Risks associated with the variable investment options”, and “Risks associated with the fixed maturity options” in “Principal Risks of investing in the contract. ”See also Appendix: “Investment options available under the contract” in this prospectus.
 
What Are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?
  
An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract’s account value and the optional benefits. The general obligations including the guaranteed interest option, fixed maturity options and any optional benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at www.equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.
 
For additional information about insurance company risks see “About the general account” in “More information” in this prospectus.
 
Investment Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, removing or substituting the Portfolios, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring the account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.
 
Effective June 18, 2012, for certain contract series and types, we no longer accept contributions. For other contract series and types, including contracts issued in certain states, we currently continue to accept subsequent contributions subject to limitations. For more information, see “How you can contribute to your contract” in “Purchasing the contract” and Appendix: “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in this prospectus.
 
There are limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with the DCA program. See “Allocating your contributions” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Transferring your account value” in “Transferring your money among investment options in this prospectus” for more information.
 
For more information see “About the Separate Account” in “More information” in the prospectus.
 
You must choose one of the two investment methods: 1) Maximum investment option choice, or 2) Maximum transfer flexibility. For more information please see “Selecting your investment method” in this prospectus.
 
We will not accept allocations to a fixed maturity option if on the date the contribution or transfer is to be applied the rate to maturity is 3%. This means that at points in time there may be no fixed maturity options available. You can allocate your contributions to one or more of these fixed maturity options. However, you may not allocate more than one contribution to any one fixed maturity option.
 
Contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option are limited.
For additional information about restrictions on investment options, see “Portfolios of the Trusts”, “Guaranteed interest option”, and “Fixed maturity options” in “Purchasing the Contract” and “Transferring your money among investment options” in this prospectus.
Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block]
Yes.
At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the investment options.
 
This contract includes a standard death benefit. Withdrawals could significantly reduce or terminate the death benefit.
 
For additional information about the optional benefits see “Benefits available under the contract” in the prospectus.
Tax Implications [Text Block]
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.
 
For more information, see “Tax information” in this prospectus.
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block]
Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as “marketing allowances”). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.
 
For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see “Distribution of the contracts” in “More information” in this prospectus.
Exchanges [Text Block]
Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, as well as any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
 
For additional information about exchanges see “Charge for third-party transfer or exchange” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus.

The charge percentage is deducted upon a withdrawal of amounts in excess of the 10% free withdrawal amount. Important exceptions and limitations may eliminate or reduce this charge. For a complete description of withdrawal charges, please see “Withdrawal Charge” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” in this prospectus. See Appendix, “State contract availability and/or variations of certain features and benefits” in this prospectus for more information.

The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the account value is removed from an investment option or from the contract before the expiration of a specified period.
 
Adjustments
           
Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)
(1)
  
100%
 
(1)
A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See “Fixed maturity options” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
 
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay
each year
during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses).
 
Annual Contract Expenses
     
Annual Administrative Charge
(1)
   $65
Base Contract Expenses
(2)
(as a percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options)
   2.00%
 
(1)
The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. The current charge is $30. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year. For series 300, 400 and 500 contracts, during the first two contract years this charge, if it applies, is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. Thereafter, the charge is $30 for each contract year. For series 100 and 200 contracts, the charge is equal to the lesser of $30 or 2% of your account value, plus any amounts previously withdrawn during the contract year. We may discontinue these services at any time.
(2)
The current Base Contract Expenses for Series 100 and 200 are: current charge 1.40% and maximum 1.49% for EQ/Common Stock and EQ/Money Market Options. For all other investment options the current charge and maximum is 1.34% for Series 100 and 200. For Series 300 the current charge is 1.34% and the maximum is 1.35%. For Series 400 the current charge is 1.34% and the maximum is 2.00%. For Series 500 the current charge is 1.45% and maximum is 2.00%.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contract, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document.

Examples
 
These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the variable investment options with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable investment options. The costs include transaction expenses, annual contract expenses, and annual Portfolio expenses.
 
These Examples assume all account value is allocated to the variable investment options. The examples do not reflect market value adjustments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the fixed maturity options.
 
These examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the variable investment options for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return
each year
and assumes the most expensive combination of annual Portfolio expenses and optional benefits available at their maximum charge.
 
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
3.
Principal risks of investing in the contract
 
 
The risks identified below are the principal risks of investing in the contract. The contract may be subject to additional risks other than those identified and described in this prospectus.
 
Risks associated with variable investment options
 
You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the subaccounts, which invest in Portfolios. If the subaccounts you select increase in value, then your account value goes up; if they decrease in value, your account value goes down. How much your account value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your subaccounts invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision.
 
Insurance company risk
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract. The general obligations and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. You should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability.
 
Risks Associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
 
An allocation to a fixed maturity option has various risks associated with it.
 
Please be aware that a market value adjustment could result in a significant loss of principal and previously credited interest. In certain extreme circumstances, it is theoretically possible to lose 100% of your investment. Specifically:
 
 
If you make any withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment. The market value adjustment may be negative.
 
 
If there is a market value adjustment and interest rates have increased from the time that you originally allocated to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges), the market value adjustment will be negative and will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
 
The amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option’s maturity date.
 
Therefore, it is possible that a negative market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in fixed maturity options with later maturity dates.
 
If we deduct all or a portion of a fee or charge from a fixed maturity option, a market value adjustment will apply to that deduction from the fixed maturity option. If the market value adjustment is negative, it will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the contract and fixed maturity option. An owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability.
 
Risk associated with taking an early withdrawal
 
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle and you should consider whether investing in the contract is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
 
Withdrawals could significantly reduce the minimum death benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
 
Withdrawals may be subject to Withdrawal Charges, negative Market Value Adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
), loss of interest and the possibility of adverse tax consequences.
 
Insurance company risk
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract including amounts allocated to the fixed maturity options. The general obligations and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. You should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability.
 
Possible fees on access to account value
 
We may apply fees if you access your account value during the accumulation period or surrender your contract. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences you may incur fees for accessing your account value such as a withdrawal charge, transfer fee, third party transfer or exchange fee, annual administrative expense, base contract expense, and/or a charge for any optional benefits.
 
Possible adverse tax consequences
 
The tax considerations associated with the contract vary and can be complicated. The applicable tax rules can differ,
depending on the type of contract, whether NQ, traditional IRA, Roth Advantage, Roth IRA or QP. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person’s contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. Tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider further proposals to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. Before making contributions to your contract or taking other action related to your contract, you should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract.
 
Contract Changes Risk
 
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with laws that apply, to remove variable investment options from the Separate Account, to combine any two or more variable investment options, to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the Separate Account, to limit or terminate contributions or transfers into any of the variable investment options, and to limit the number of variable investment options you may select.
 
You should evaluate whether our ability to make the changes described above, and your ability to react to such changes, are appropriate based on your investment goals. When such changes occur, you should also evaluate whether those changes are appropriate based on your investment goals and, if not, you should evaluate your options under the Contract, which may be limited and may have negative consequences associated with them, as described in this section.
 
Availability by financial intermediary
 
Some financial intermediaries (e.g., selling broker-dealer firms) may not offer and/or may limit the offering of certain features, optional benefits, and investment options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, all based on issue age or other criteria established by the selling broker-dealer. For example, a firm may choose not to recommend certain investment options that are described in this Prospectus. Before you purchase the contract, you should ask your financial professional for details about the specific features, optional benefits, and investment options available through their firm, as well as those that are not. If a particular feature that interests you is not recommended through your broker-dealer, you may want to contact us to explore its availability.
 
Risk of loss
 
All investments have risks to some degree and it is possible that you could lose money by investing in the contract. An investment in the contract is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Risk associated with taking a loan
 
Loans will decrease your account value and death benefit, and loaned amounts will not participate in the investment experience of your investment options. There may be adverse tax consequences associated with taking a loan from your contract.
Business disruption, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies risks
 
We rely heavily on technology, including interconnected computer systems and data storage networks and digital communications, to conduct our variable product business. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risksresulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyberattacks.
Cyber-attacks
may be systemic (e.g., affecting the internet, cloud services, or other infrastructure) or targeted (e.g., failures in or breach of our systems or those of third parties on whom we rely, including ransomware and malware attacks). Cybersecurity risks include, among other things, the loss, theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our websites (or the websites of third parties on whom we rely), other operational disruption and unauthorized release, use or abuse of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Due to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, a cybersecurity breach could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. Systems failures and cyberattacks, as well as, any other catastrophic event, including natural and manmade disasters, public health emergencies, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, floods or severe storms affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us, our business operations and your account value and interfere with our ability to process contract transactions and calculate account values. Systems failures and cyberattacks may also 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 account values and unit values and/or the underlying funds to be unable to calculate share values, cause the release or possible destruction of confidential customer and/or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation 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. The preventative actions we take to reduce the frequency and severity of cybersecurity incidents and protect our computer systems may be insufficient to prevent a cybersecurity breach from impacting our operations or your contract value. There can
be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid cybersecurity breaches affecting your contract.
 
The development and deployment of AI tools and technologies, including generative AI, and its use and anticipated use by us or by third parties on whom we rely, may increase our existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI and generative AI may be misused by us or by third parties upon which we rely, and that risk is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the uncertain and evolving policy and regulatory landscape governing its use. Such misuse could expose us to legal or regulatory risk. Because the generative AI technology is so new, many of the potential risks of generative AI are currently unknowable.
 
In addition, we are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, including, but not limited to, storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, or any other event, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic such as COVID-19, could result in our workforce, and/or employees of service providers and/or third-party administrators, being compromised and unable or unwilling to fully perform their responsibilities, which could likewise result in interruptions in our service. This could interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including processing orders from owners and orders with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate contract value, or have other adverse impacts on our operations. These events may also negatively affect the our service providers and intermediaries, the underlying funds and issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

About Death Benefits
 
Payment of Death Benefit
 
You designate your beneficiary when you apply for your contract. You may change your beneficiary at any time while the contract is in force and the owner and annuitant are alive. The change will be effective as of the date the written request is executed, whether or not you are living on the date the change is received at our processing office. We are not responsible for any beneficiary change request that we do not receive. We will send you a written confirmation when we receive your request.
 
Death benefit
 
The death benefit is equal to the greater of (i) your account value (without adjustment for any otherwise applicable negative market value adjustment) as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of the annuitant’s death, any required instructions for the method of payment, information and forms necessary to effect payment and (ii) the “minimum death benefit.” The minimum death benefit is equal to your total contributions, adjusted for withdrawals, withdrawal charges, and taxes that apply. There is no additional charge for this death benefit.
 
If your surviving spouse rolls the death benefit proceeds over into a contract issued by us, the death proceeds will remain invested in this contract until your spouse’s contract is issued and the amount of the death benefit will be calculated as of the date we receive all requirements necessary to issue your spouse’s new contract. The amount of the death benefit will be calculated to equal the greater of (i) your account value (without adjustment for any otherwise applicable negative market value adjustment) as of the date that your spouse’s contract is issued, and (ii) the “minimum death benefit” as of the date of your death. This means that the death benefit proceeds could vary up or down, based on investment performance, until your spouse’s new contract is issued.
 
How withdrawals affect the minimum death benefit
 
Depending upon contract series, contract date and the state where your contract is issued, each withdrawal you make will reduce the amount of your current minimum death benefit on a pro rata basis. Reduction on a pro rata basis means that we calculate the percentage of your current account value that is being withdrawn (including the amount of any withdrawal charge deducted from the contract) and we reduce your current minimum death benefit by that same percentage. For example, if your account value is $30,000, and you withdraw $12,000 you have withdrawn 40% of your account value. If your minimum death benefit was $40,000 before the withdrawal, it would be reduced by $16,000 ($40,000 x .40) and your new minimum death benefit after the withdrawal would be $24,000 ($40,000-$16,000). As this example shows,
the pro rata reduction of the death benefit can be greater than the dollar amount of the withdrawal
. Check with your financial professional.
 
Effect of the annuitant’s death
 
If the annuitant dies before the annuity payments begin, we will pay the death benefit to your beneficiary.
Generally, the death of the annuitant terminates the contract. However, if you are both the owner and the annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, the contract can be continued as discussed below under “Successor owner and annuitant.” Only a spouse who is the sole primary beneficiary can be a successor owner/ annuitant. The determination of spousal status is made under applicable state law; however, in the event of a conflict between federal and state law, we follow federal rules. A beneficiary may be able to have limited ownership as discussed under “Beneficiary continuation option” below.
 
Successor Owner and Annuitant: traditional IRA, QP IRA, NQ and Roth IRA contracts (may not be available in all states for some series).
 If you are the owner and annuitant and your spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, your spouse may elect upon your death to continue the contract as the owner/annuitant and no death benefit is payable until the surviving spouse’s death. If your surviving spouse decides to continue the contract, as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the successor owner/annuitant feature, we will increase the account value to equal your minimum death benefit, if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in the account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract. Thereafter, withdrawal charges will no longer apply to contributions made before your death. Withdrawal charges will apply if additional contributions are made. These additional contributions will be withdrawn only after all other amounts have been withdrawn. For series 100 and 200 IRA contracts, withdrawal charges will no longer apply and additional contributions may no longer be made. The minimum death benefit will continue to apply.
 
When an NQ contract owner dies before the annuitant
 
Under certain conditions after the original owner’s death, the owner changes for purposes of receiving federal tax law required distributions from your contract. When you are not the annuitant under an NQ contract and you die before annuity payments begin, unless you specify otherwise, we will automatically make the beneficiary your successor owner. If you do not want this beneficiary also to be the successor owner, you should name a specific successor owner. You may name a successor at any time while the contract is in force and the owner and annuitant are alive by sending satisfactory notice to our processing office.
 
Unless the surviving spouse of the owner who has died is the successor owner for this purpose, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed under the following rules:
 
  The cash value of the contract must be fully paid to the successor owner (new owner) within five years after your death.
 
  The successor owner may instead elect to receive the cash value as a life annuity (or payments for a period certain of not longer than the new owner’s life expectancy). Payments must begin within one year after the
non-annuitant
owner’s death. Unless this alternative is elected, we will pay any cash value five years after your death.
If the surviving spouse is the successor owner, the spouse may elect to continue the contract. No distributions are required as long as the surviving spouse and annuitant are living. The account value must be distributed no later than 5 years after the spouse’s death.
 
How death benefit payment is made
 
We will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary in the form of the annuity payout option you have chosen, if the option is permitted under federal tax rules in effect after your death.
 
If you have not chosen an annuity payout option as of the time of the annuitant’s death, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit in a single sum. However, subject to any exceptions in the contract, our rules and any applicable requirements under federal income tax rules, the beneficiary may elect to apply the death benefit to one or more annuity payout options we offer at the time. See “Your annuity payout options” under “Accessing your money” earlier in this Prospectus. Please note that any annuity payout option chosen may not extend beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary.
 
If the beneficiary is a natural person (i.e., not an entity such as a corporation or a trust) and so elects, death benefit proceeds can be paid through the “Equitable Access Account,” which is a draft account that works in certain respects like an interest-bearing checking account. In that case, we will send the beneficiary a draftbook, and the beneficiary will have immediate access to the proceeds by writing a draft for all or part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds. The Company will retain the funds until a draft is presented for payment. Interest on the Equitable Access Account is earned from the date we establish the account until the account is closed by your beneficiary or by us if the account balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, which is currently $1,000. The Equitable Access Account is part of the Company’s general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. We will receive any investment earnings during the period such amounts remain in the general account. The Equitable Access Account is not a bank account or a checking account and it is not insured by the FDIC. Funds held by insurance companies in the general account are guaranteed by the respective state guaranty association.
 
Beneficiary continuation option for traditional IRA, QP IRA, Roth IRA and Roth Advantage contracts
 
Upon your death under a traditional IRA, QP IRA, Roth IRA, or Roth Advantage contract, your beneficiary may generally elect to keep the contract with your name on it and receive distributions under the contract instead of receiving the death benefit in a single sum. The beneficiary continuation option may not be available in all states for some series. Depending on the beneficiary, this option may be restricted or may no longer be available for deaths after December 31, 2019, due to the changes made by the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (“SECURE Act”) enacted at the end of 2019. We may be required in certain cases to pay benefits faster under existing contracts.
If eligible, your beneficiary can elect to receive payments over your beneficiary’s life expectancy (determined in the calendar year after your death and determined on a term certain basis). This feature must be elected by September 30th of the year following the calendar year of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option. These payments must begin no later than December 31st of the calendar year after the year of your death. If the election is made, then as of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is greater then such account value.
 
For deaths after December 31, 2019, only specified individuals who are “eligible designated beneficiaries” or “EDBs” may generally stretch post-death payments over the beneficiary’s life expectancy. See “required minimum distributions after your death” in this prospectus under “Tax Information.” Individual beneficiaries who do not have EDB status (including beneficiaries named by the original beneficiary to receive any remaining interest after the death of the original beneficiary) must take out any remaining interest in the IRA or plan within 10 years of the applicable death in accordance with federal tax rules.
 
Under the beneficiary continuation option:
 
  The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary.
 
  This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. Certain trusts with only individual beneficiaries will be treated as individuals for this purpose.
 
  If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary’s share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the beneficiary’s own life expectancy, if payments over life expectancy are chosen by an eligible beneficiary.
 
  The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the beneficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary.
 
  The beneficiary may make transfers among the investment options, but no additional contributions will be permitted.
 
  The minimum death benefit provision will no longer be in effect.
 
  The beneficiary may choose at any time to withdraw all or a portion of the account value and no withdrawal charges will apply. Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300.
 
  Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract.
 
 
Upon the death of your beneficiary, the following distribution rules will apply to the subsequent beneficiary
   
named by your beneficiary: (1) if your beneficiary is an EDB or you died on or before December 31, 2019, the subsequent beneficiary must withdraw any remaining amount within ten years of your beneficiary’s death in accordance with federal tax rules; or (2) if your beneficiary is not an EDB, the subsequent beneficiary must withdraw any remaining amount within 10 years of your death in accordance with federal tax rules. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment.
 
Beneficiary continuation option for series 400 NQ contracts only
 
This feature (also known as inherited annuity), may only be elected when the NQ contract owner dies before the date annuity payments are to begin, whether or not the owner and the annuitant are the same person. If the owner and annuitant are different and the owner dies before the annuitant, for purposes of this discussion, “beneficiary” refers to the successor owner. For a discussion of successor owner, see “When an NQ contract owner dies before the annuitant” earlier in this section.
 
This feature must be elected within 9 months following the date of your death and before any other inconsistent election is made. Beneficiaries who do not make a timely election will not be eligible for this option.
 
Generally, payments will be made once a year to the beneficiary over the beneficiary’s life expectancy, determined on a term certain basis and in the year payments start. These payments must begin no later than one year after the date of your death and are referred to as “scheduled payments.” The beneficiary may choose the
“5-year
rule” instead of scheduled payments over life expectancy. If the beneficiary chooses the
5-year
rule, there will be no scheduled payments. Under the
5-year
rule, the beneficiary may take withdrawals as desired, but the entire account value must be fully withdrawn by the fifth anniversary of your death.
 
Under the beneficiary continuation option for NQ contracts (regardless of whether the owner and annuitant are the same person):
 
  This feature is only available if the beneficiary is an individual. It is not available for any entity such as a trust, even if all of the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals.
 
  The contract continues with your name on it for the benefit of your beneficiary.
 
  If there is more than one beneficiary, each beneficiary’s share will be separately accounted for. It will be distributed over the respective beneficiary’s own life expectancy, if scheduled payments are chosen.
 
  The minimum amount that is required in order to elect the beneficiary continuation option is $5,000 for each beneficiary.
  The beneficiary may make transfers among the investment options but no additional contributions will be permitted.
 
  The minimum death benefit will no longer be in effect.
 
  If the beneficiary chooses the
“5-year
rule,” withdrawals may be made at any time. If the beneficiary instead chooses scheduled payments, the beneficiary may also take withdrawals, in addition to scheduled payments, at any time.
 
  Any partial withdrawal must be at least $300.
 
  Your beneficiary will have the right to name a beneficiary to receive any remaining interest in the contract on the beneficiary’s death.
 
  Upon the death of your beneficiary, the beneficiary that he or she has named has the option to either continue taking scheduled payments based on the remaining life expectancy of the deceased beneficiary (if scheduled payments were chosen) or to receive any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum. We will pay any remaining interest in the contract in a lump sum if your beneficiary elects the
5-year
rule. The option elected will be processed when we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions for the method of payment and any required information and forms necessary to effect payment.
 
If you are both the owner and annuitant:
 
  As of the date we receive satisfactory proof of death, any required instructions, information and forms necessary to effect the beneficiary continuation option feature, we will increase the account value to equal the applicable death benefit if such death benefit is greater than such account value. The increase in account value will be allocated to the investment options according to the allocation percentages we have on file for your contract.
 
  No withdrawal charges will apply to any withdrawals by the beneficiary.
 
If the owner and annuitant are not the same person:
 
  If the beneficiary continuation option is elected, the beneficiary automatically becomes the new annuitant of the contract, replacing the existing annuitant.
 
  The account value will not be reset to the death benefit amount.
 
  The withdrawal charge schedule and free withdrawal amount on the contract will continue to be applied to any withdrawal or surrender other than scheduled payments.
 
 
We do not impose a withdrawal charge on scheduled payments except if, when added to any withdrawals previously taken in the same contract year, including for this purpose a contract surrender, the total amount of withdrawals and scheduled payments exceeds the free withdrawal amount. See “Withdrawal charge” in “Charges, expenses, and adjustments” earlier in this Prospectus.
If a contract is jointly owned:
 
  The surviving owner supersedes any other named beneficiary and may elect the beneficiary continuation option.
 
  If the deceased joint owner was also the annuitant, see “If you are both the owner and annuitant” above.
 
  If the deceased joint owner was not the annuitant, see “If the owner and annuitant are not the same person” above.
 
Other Benefits
 
Investment simplifier
 
Our Investment simplifier program allows you to choose from two automatic options for transferring amounts from the guaranteed interest option to the variable investment options. The transfer options are the “fixed-dollar option” and the “interest sweep.” You may select one or the other but not both. If you elect to use rebalancing option II (discussed below), you may not choose either of the investment simplifier options.
 
Fixed-dollar option. 
Under this option, you may elect to have a fixed-dollar amount transferred out of the guaranteed interest option and into the variable investment options of your choice on a monthly basis. You can specify the number of monthly transfers or instruct us to continue to make monthly transfers until all available amounts in the guaranteed interest option have been transferred out.
 
In order to elect the fixed-dollar option, you must have a minimum of $5,000 in the guaranteed interest option on the
date we receive your election form at our processing office. You also must elect to transfer at least $50 per month. The fixed-dollar option is subject to the guaranteed interest option transfer limitation described above.
 
Interest sweep. 
Under the interest sweep, we will make transfers on a monthly basis from amounts in the guaranteed interest option. The amount we will transfer will be the interest credited to amounts you have in the guaranteed interest option from the last business day of the prior month to the last business day of the current month. You must have at least $7,500 in the guaranteed interest option on the date we receive your election and on the last business day of each month thereafter to participate in the interest sweep option.
 
The fixed-dollar option and interest sweep feature are forms of dollar-cost averaging. Dollar-cost averaging allows you to gradually allocate amounts to the variable investment options by periodically transferring approximately the same dollar amount to the variable investment options you select. This will cause you to purchase more units if the unit’s value is low and fewer units if the unit’s value is high. Therefore, you may get a lower average cost per unit over the long term. This plan of investing, however, does not guarantee that you will earn a profit or be protected against losses.
When your participation in the investment simplifier will end. 
Your participation in the investment simplifier option will end:
 
  Under the fixed-dollar option, when either the number of designated monthly transfers have been completed or the amount you have available in the guaranteed interest option has been transferred out.
 
  Under the interest sweep, when the amount you have in the guaranteed interest option falls below $7,500 (determined on the last business day of the month) for two months in a row.
 
  Under either option, on the date we receive at our processing office, your written request to cancel automatic transfers, or on the date your contract terminates.
 
Rebalancing your account value
 
Our rebalancing program offers two options that you can use to automatically reallocate your account value. Option I permits reallocation among the variable investment options only and option II permits reallocation among the variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option. To enroll in the asset rebalancing program, you must notify us in writing by completing our asset rebalancing form, instructing us:
 
(a)
in whole percentages only, the percentage you want invested in each variable investment option (and the guaranteed interest option, if applicable), and
 
(b)
how often you want the rebalancing to occur (quarterly, semi-annually, or annually).
 
While your rebalancing program is in effect, we will transfer amounts among each variable investment option (and the guaranteed interest option, if applicable), so that the percentage of your account value that you specify is invested in each option at the end of each rebalancing date. Your entire account value in the variable investment options (and guaranteed interest option, if applicable) must be included in the rebalancing program. Currently, we permit rebalancing of up to 20 investment options. Transfer restrictions out of the guaranteed interest option may apply in accordance with the last two bullets under “Transferring your account value” above in this section. The initial transfer under the rebalancing program (based on your account value as of the day before the program is established) is not permitted to cause the transfer restrictions to be violated, and any rebalancing election that would be a violation of the transfer restrictions will not be put into effect. However, if the program can be established, once it is in effect, the transfer restrictions will be waived for the rebalancing transfers.
 
 
Rebalancing does not assure a profit or protect against loss. You should periodically review your allocation percentages as your needs change. You may want to discuss the rebalancing program with your financial professional and/or financial adviser before electing the program.
 
 
To be eligible, you must have (i) at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options for option I, or (ii) at least $5,000 of account value in the variable investment options and the guaranteed interest option, combined for
option II. Rebalancing is not available for amounts you have allocated in the fixed maturity options. We may waive this $5,000 requirement.
 
If you elect to use option II, you may not choose either of the investment simplifier automatic options.
 
You may elect or terminate the rebalancing program at any time. You may also change your allocations under the program at any time. Once enrolled in the rebalancing program, it will remain in effect until you instruct us in writing to terminate the program. Requesting an investment option transfer while enrolled in our rebalancing program will not automatically change your allocation instructions for rebalancing your account value. This means that upon the next scheduled rebalancing, we will transfer amounts among your investment options pursuant to the allocation instructions previously on file for your program. Changes to your allocation instructions for the rebalancing program (or termination of your enrollment in the program) must be in writing and sent to our processing office.

Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risk of loss
 
All investments have risks to some degree and it is possible that you could lose money by investing in the contract. An investment in the contract is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
C000024803 [Member] | Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
No.
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.

Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option and fixed maturity options has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
 
For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see “Fixed investment options”, “Guaranteed interest option” and “Portfolios of the Trusts” in “Purchasing the contract” in the prospectus, as well as, “Risks associated with the variable investment options”, and “Risks associated with the fixed maturity options” in “Principal Risks of investing in the contract. ”See also Appendix: “Investment options available under the contract” in this prospectus.
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risks associated with variable investment options
 
You take all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the subaccounts, which invest in Portfolios. If the subaccounts you select increase in value, then your account value goes up; if they decrease in value, your account value goes down. How much your account value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios in which your subaccounts invest. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Portfolios before making an investment decision.
C000024803 [Member] | Insurance Company Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]
An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract’s account value and the optional benefits. The general obligations including the guaranteed interest option, fixed maturity options and any optional benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at www.equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.
 
For additional information about insurance company risks see “About the general account” in “More information” in this prospectus.
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Insurance company risk
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that we owe under the contract. The general obligations and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims paying ability. You should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability.
C000024803 [Member] | Risks Associated with the Fixed Maturity Options [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risks Associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
 
An allocation to a fixed maturity option has various risks associated with it.
 
Please be aware that a market value adjustment could result in a significant loss of principal and previously credited interest. In certain extreme circumstances, it is theoretically possible to lose 100% of your investment. Specifically:
 
 
If you make any withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges) from a fixed maturity option before it matures, we will make a market value adjustment. The market value adjustment may be negative.
 
 
If there is a market value adjustment and interest rates have increased from the time that you originally allocated to a fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal (including transfers, surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges), the market value adjustment will be negative and will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
 
The amount of the market value adjustment, either up or down, will be greater the longer the time remaining until the fixed maturity option’s maturity date.
 
Therefore, it is possible that a negative market value adjustment could greatly reduce your value in the fixed maturity options, particularly in fixed maturity options with later maturity dates.
 
If we deduct all or a portion of a fee or charge from a fixed maturity option, a market value adjustment will apply to that deduction from the fixed maturity option. If the market value adjustment is negative, it will reduce your value in the fixed maturity option.
 
No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the contract and fixed maturity option. An owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability.
C000024803 [Member] | Risk associated with taking a withdrawal [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risk associated with taking an early withdrawal
 
The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle and you should consider whether investing in the contract is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
 
Withdrawals could significantly reduce the minimum death benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn.
 
Withdrawals may be subject to Withdrawal Charges, negative Market Value Adjustments (see
Risks associated with the Fixed Maturity Options
), loss of interest and the possibility of adverse tax consequences.
C000024803 [Member] | Possible fees on access to account value [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Possible fees on access to account value
 
We may apply fees if you access your account value during the accumulation period or surrender your contract. For example, in addition to possible tax consequences you may incur fees for accessing your account value such as a withdrawal charge, transfer fee, third party transfer or exchange fee, annual administrative expense, base contract expense, and/or a charge for any optional benefits.
C000024803 [Member] | Possible adverse tax consequences [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Possible adverse tax consequences
 
The tax considerations associated with the contract vary and can be complicated. The applicable tax rules can differ,
depending on the type of contract, whether NQ, traditional IRA, Roth Advantage, Roth IRA or QP. We cannot provide detailed information on all tax aspects of the contracts. Moreover, the tax aspects that apply to a particular person’s contract may vary depending on the facts applicable to that person. Tax rules may change without notice. We cannot predict whether, when, or how these rules could change. Any change could affect contracts purchased before the change. Congress may also consider further proposals to comprehensively reform or overhaul the United States tax and retirement systems, which if enacted, could affect the tax benefits of a contract. We cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted. Before making contributions to your contract or taking other action related to your contract, you should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract.
C000024803 [Member] | Contract Changes Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Contract Changes Risk
 
We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with laws that apply, to remove variable investment options from the Separate Account, to combine any two or more variable investment options, to restrict or eliminate any voting rights as to the Separate Account, to limit or terminate contributions or transfers into any of the variable investment options, and to limit the number of variable investment options you may select.
 
You should evaluate whether our ability to make the changes described above, and your ability to react to such changes, are appropriate based on your investment goals. When such changes occur, you should also evaluate whether those changes are appropriate based on your investment goals and, if not, you should evaluate your options under the Contract, which may be limited and may have negative consequences associated with them, as described in this section.
C000024803 [Member] | Availability By Financial Intermediary [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Availability by financial intermediary
 
Some financial intermediaries (e.g., selling broker-dealer firms) may not offer and/or may limit the offering of certain features, optional benefits, and investment options, as well as limit the availability of the contracts, all based on issue age or other criteria established by the selling broker-dealer. For example, a firm may choose not to recommend certain investment options that are described in this Prospectus. Before you purchase the contract, you should ask your financial professional for details about the specific features, optional benefits, and investment options available through their firm, as well as those that are not. If a particular feature that interests you is not recommended through your broker-dealer, you may want to contact us to explore its availability.
C000024803 [Member] | Risk associated with taking a loan [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Risk associated with taking a loan
 
Loans will decrease your account value and death benefit, and loaned amounts will not participate in the investment experience of your investment options. There may be adverse tax consequences associated with taking a loan from your contract.
C000024803 [Member] | Business disruption cybersecurity and artificial intelligence AI technologies risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]
Business disruption, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies risks
 
We rely heavily on technology, including interconnected computer systems and data storage networks and digital communications, to conduct our variable product business. Because our variable product business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risksresulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyberattacks.
Cyber-attacks
may be systemic (e.g., affecting the internet, cloud services, or other infrastructure) or targeted (e.g., failures in or breach of our systems or those of third parties on whom we rely, including ransomware and malware attacks). Cybersecurity risks include, among other things, the loss, theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our websites (or the websites of third parties on whom we rely), other operational disruption and unauthorized release, use or abuse of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Due to the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks, a cybersecurity breach could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. Systems failures and cyberattacks, as well as, any other catastrophic event, including natural and manmade disasters, public health emergencies, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, floods or severe storms affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us, our business operations and your account value and interfere with our ability to process contract transactions and calculate account values. Systems failures and cyberattacks may also 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 account values and unit values and/or the underlying funds to be unable to calculate share values, cause the release or possible destruction of confidential customer and/or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation 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. The preventative actions we take to reduce the frequency and severity of cybersecurity incidents and protect our computer systems may be insufficient to prevent a cybersecurity breach from impacting our operations or your contract value. There can
be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid cybersecurity breaches affecting your contract.
 
The development and deployment of AI tools and technologies, including generative AI, and its use and anticipated use by us or by third parties on whom we rely, may increase our existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI and generative AI may be misused by us or by third parties upon which we rely, and that risk is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the uncertain and evolving policy and regulatory landscape governing its use. Such misuse could expose us to legal or regulatory risk. Because the generative AI technology is so new, many of the potential risks of generative AI are currently unknowable.
 
In addition, we are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, including, but not limited to, storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts, or any other event, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic such as COVID-19, could result in our workforce, and/or employees of service providers and/or third-party administrators, being compromised and unable or unwilling to fully perform their responsibilities, which could likewise result in interruptions in our service. This could interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including processing orders from owners and orders with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate contract value, or have other adverse impacts on our operations. These events may also negatively affect the our service providers and intermediaries, the underlying funds and issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)
(3)
   100%  
 
(1)
We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date. The actual amount of the Segment Interim Value calculation is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the Segment Buffer and how the Index has performed since the Segment Start Date. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a Segment at a time when the Index price has declined to zero. If you surrender or cancel your variable annuity contract, die, transfer or make a withdrawal from a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date, the Segment Buffer will not necessarily apply to the extent it would on the Segment Maturity Date, and any upside performance will be limited to a percentage lower than the Performance Cap Rate. See “Structured Investment Option” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
(2)
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
(3)
A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. It is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See “Fixed maturity options” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
The next table describes the f
e
es and expenses that you will pay
each year
during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses). If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.

In addition to the fees described above, we limit the amount you can earn on a Segment of the SIO. This means your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
 
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future.

The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the account value is removed from an investment option or from the contract before the expiration of a specified period.
 
Adjustments
           
SIO Segment Maximum Potential Loss Due to Interim Value adjustment (as a percentage of Account value invested in the Segment on the Segment Start Date)
(1)
  
100
%
(2)
Fixed Maturity Option Maximum Potential Loss Due to Market Value Adjustment (as a percentage of Account value withdrawn from the Fixed Maturity Option)
(3)
  
100
%
 
(1)
We use the Segment Interim Values for your Segments of the SIO if you make any withdrawals (including surrender or termination of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges, or if you take a loan) or upon payment of a death benefit from a Segment on any date prior to the Segment Maturity Date. The actual amount of the Segment Interim Value calculation is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the Segment Buffer and how the Index has performed since the Segment Start Date. The maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a Segment at a time when the Index price has declined to zero. If you surrender or cancel your variable annuity contract, die, transfer or make a withdrawal from a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date, the Segment Buffer will not necessarily apply to the extent it would on the Segment Maturity Date, and any upside performance will be limited to a percentage lower than the Performance Cap Rate. See “Structured Investment Option” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
(2)
Because the end-of-term downside protection provided by a Segment Buffer does not apply to the Segment Interim Value, it is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios.
(3)
A market value adjustment will apply to withdrawals, transfers, surrender of your contract, or when we make deductions for charges from a fixed maturity option before the maturity date. The actual amount of the Market Value Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, the difference between the rate to maturity that applies to the amount being withdrawn and the rate to maturity in effect at that time for new allocations to that same fixed maturity option, and the length of time remaining until the maturity date. It is theoretically possible that you could lose up to 100% of your investment and previously credited interest in certain extreme scenarios. In general, the maximum loss would occur if there is a total distribution for a fixed maturity option a significant time prior to the maturity date and interest rates have risen dramatically from the time that you originally allocate an amount to the fixed maturity option to the time that you take the withdrawal. See “Fixed maturity options” under “Purchasing the contract” for more information.
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay
each year
during the time that you own the contract (not including Portfolio fees and expenses). If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.
 
Annual Contract Expenses
 
 
Annual Administrative Charge
(1)
  $65
Base Contract Expenses
(2)
(as a percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options):

(1)
The annual administrative charge is deducted from your account value on each contract date anniversary. The current charge is $30. If the contract is surrendered or annuitized or a death benefit is paid on any date other than the contract date anniversary, we will deduct a pro rata portion of the administrative charge for that year.
(2)
The minimum expenses is 1.20% for certain contracts.
 
In addition to the fees described above, we limit the amount you can earn on a Segment of the SIO. This means your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the underlying Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. A complete list of Portfolios available under the contact, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document.
