CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE



Title of securities to be registered	Amount to be registered	Proposed maximum offering price per unit(1)	Proposed maximum aggregate offering price	Amount of registration fee
Market Value Adjusted Annuity Contracts	$3,095,028	$1.00	$3,095,028	$0

(1)	Interests in the market value adjustment account are sold on a dollar basis, not on the basis of a price per share or unit.

This filing is being made under the Securities Act of 1933 to register $3,095,028 of interests in market value adjusted annuity contracts. The interests being registered herein are carried over, as unsold securities, from an existing Form S-3 registration statement of the same issuer (333-177478) filed on October 24, 2011. Because a filing fee of $173 previously was paid with respect to those securities, there is no filing fee under this registration statement. In accordance with Rule 415 (a)(6), the offering of securities on the earlier registration statement will be deemed terminated as of the effective date of this registration statement.

Risk Factors are discussed in the sections of the prospectus included in Part 1 of this Form concerning the Market Value Adjustment option.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the prospectus included in this registration statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The principal underwriter for these securities, Allstate Distributors, L.L.C., is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its best efforts to sell the securities offered. The offering under this registration statement will conclude three years from the effective date of this registration statement, unless terminated earlier by the Registrant. See the prospectus included in Part 1 hereof for the date of the prospectus.

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission may determine.

The merger of Glenbrook and Allstate Life (the “Merger”) was approved by the boards of directors of Allstate Life and Glenbrook. The Merger also received regulatory approval from the Departments of Insurance of the States of Arizona and Illinois, the states of domicile of Glenbrook and Allstate Life, respectively.

On the date of the Merger, Allstate Life acquired from Glenbrook all of Glenbrook’s assets and became directly liable for Glenbrook’s liabilities and obligations with respect to all Contracts issued by Glenbrook.

The Merger did not affect the terms of, or the rights and obligations under your Contract, other than to reflect the change to the company that guarantees your Contract benefits from Glenbrook to Allstate Life. You will receive certificate endorsements from Allstate Life that reflect the change from Glenbrook to Allstate Life. The Merger also did not result in any adverse tax consequences for any Contract Owners.

Separate Account Consolidation

Effective January 1, 2005, and in connection with the Merger, Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account and Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A combined with and into the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I (“Allstate Separate Account I”), and consolidated duplicative Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in the same Fund (the “Consolidation”). The accumulation unit values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation.

As a result of the Merger and Consolidation, your prospectus is amended as follows:

Replace all references to “Glenbrook Life” with “Allstate Life.” Replace all references to “Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A” with “Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I.” All references to “We,” “Us,” or “our” shall mean “Allstate Life.” All references to “the Variable Account” shall mean “Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I.”

“Financial Information” section: Replace the last sentence of the first paragraph with:

The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I, which includes financial information giving effect to the Consolidation on a pro forma basis, also appear in the Statement of Additional Information. For a free copy of the Statement of Additional Information, please write or call us at 1-800-755-5275.

Under the heading Market Timing and Excessive Trading, at the end of the second paragraph insert the following sentence:

MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING

The Contracts are intended for long-term investment. Market timing and excessive trading can potentially dilute the value of Variable Sub-Accounts and can disrupt management of a Portfolio and raise its expenses, which can impair Portfolio performance. Our policy is not to accept knowingly any money intended for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading. Accordingly, you should not invest in the Contract if your purpose is to engage in market timing or excessive trading, and you should refrain from such practices if you currently own a Contract.

We seek to detect market timing or excessive trading activity by reviewing trading activities. Portfolios also may report suspected market-timing or excessive trading activity to us. If, in our judgment, we determine that the transfers are part of a market timing strategy or are otherwise harmful to the underlying Portfolio, we will impose the trading limitations as described below under “Trading Limitations.” Because there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will use our reasonable judgment based on all of the circumstances.

While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, not all market timing or excessive trading is identifiable or preventable. Imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it first occurs. To the extent that such trading activity occurs prior to detection and the imposition of trading restrictions, the portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.

TRADING LIMITATIONS

We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, or to refuse any transfer request, if:

•

we believe, in our sole discretion, that certain trading practices, such as excessive trading, by, or on behalf of, one or more Contract Owners, or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests, may have a detrimental effect on the Accumulation Unit Values of any Variable Sub-Account or on the share prices of the corresponding Portfolio or otherwise would be to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners; or

•

we are informed by one or more of the Portfolios that they intend to restrict the purchase, exchange, or redemption of Portfolio shares because of excessive trading or because they believe that a specific transfer or group of transfers would have a detrimental effect on the prices of Portfolio shares.

In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:

•

the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;

•

the number of transfers you make over a period of time and/or the period of time between transfers (note: one set of transfers to and from a sub-account in a short period of time can constitute market timing);

•

whether your transfers follow a pattern that appears designed to take advantage of short term market fluctuations, particularly within certain Sub-account underlying portfolios that we have identified as being susceptible to market timing activities;

•

whether the manager of the underlying portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the portfolio; and

•

the investment objectives and/or size of the Sub-account underlying portfolio.

If we determine that a contract owner has engaged in market timing or excessive trading activity, we will restrict that contract owner from making future additions or transfers into the impacted Sub-account(s). If we determine that a contract owner has engaged in a pattern of market timing or excessive trading activity involving multiple Sub-accounts, we will also require that all future transfer requests be submitted through regular U.S. mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery. Any Sub-account or transfer restrictions will be uniformly applied.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.

“More Information” section: Replace the subsections entitled “Glenbrook Life” and “The Variable Account” with the following:

ALLSTATE LIFE

Allstate Life is the issuer of the Contract. Allstate Life was organized in 1957 is a stock life insurance company under the laws of the state of Illinois. Prior to January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company (“Glenbrook Life”) issued the Contract. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life merged with Allstate Life (“Merger”). On the date of the Merger, Allstate Life acquired from Glenbrook Life all of Glenbrook Life’s assets and became directly liable for Glenbrook Life’s liabilities and obligations with respect to all contracts issued by Glenbrook Life. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Illinois. All of the capital stock issued and outstanding of Allstate Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.

Allstate Life is licensed to operate in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all jurisdictions except the state of New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.

The Variable Account

Allstate Life established the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I in 1999. The Contracts were previously issued through the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account and Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A combined with Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I and consolidated duplicative Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in the same Portfolio (the “Consolidation”). The Accumulation Unit Values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.

We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated asset account under Illinois law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains, and losses separately from the results of our other operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations. Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Allstate Life.

The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Funds. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.

“Annual Reports and Other Documents” section: Replace the CIK identifying number in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph with “CIK No. 0000352736.”

THE CONTRACT AT A GLANCE

The following is a snapshot of the Contract. Please read the remainder of this prospectus for more information.


FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS		You can purchase a Contract with as little as $3,000 ($2,000 for “QUALIFIED CONTRACTS,” which are Contracts issued with QUALIFIED PLANS). You can add to your Contract as often and as much as you like, but each payment must be at least $50.

RIGHT TO CANCEL		You may cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require (“CANCELLATION PERIOD”). Upon cancellation, we will return your purchase payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts allocated to the Variable Account.

EXPENSES		You will bear the following expenses:

		• Total Variable Account annual fees equal to 1.35% of average daily net assets (1.45% if you select the ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER)

		• Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 (with certain exceptions)

		• Withdrawal charges ranging from 0% to 6% of purchase payment withdrawn (with certain exceptions)

		• Transfer fee of $10 after 12th transfer in any CONTRACT YEAR (fee currently waived)

		• State premium tax (if your state imposes one)

		In addition, each Portfolio pays expenses that you will bear indirectly if you invest in a Variable Sub-Account.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES		The Contract offers 22 investment alternatives including:

		• 2 Fixed Account Options (which credit interest at rates we guarantee)

		• 20 Variable Sub-Accounts investing in Portfolios offering professional money management by these investment advisers:

		• A I M Advisors, Inc.

		• American Century Investment Management, Inc.

		• The Dreyfus Corporation

		• Fidelity Management & Research Company

		• MFS(TM) Investment Management

		To find out current rates being paid on the Fixed Account Options or how the Variable Sub-Accounts have performed, call us at 1-800-755-5275.

SPECIAL SERVICES		For your convenience, we offer these special services:

		• AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

		• AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

		• DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

		• SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

4 PROSPECTUS


INCOME PAYMENTS		You can choose fixed income payments, variable income payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your income payments in one of the following ways:

		• life income with guaranteed payments

		• a “joint and survivor” life income with guaranteed payments

		• guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30 years)

DEATH BENEFITS		If you or the ANNUITANT (if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person) die before the PAYOUT START DATE, we will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.

TRANSFERS		Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract value (“CONTRACT VALUE”) among the investment alternatives, with certain restrictions. Transfers to a Guarantee Period of the Fixed Account must be at least $50.

		We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each “Contract Year,” which we measure from the date we issue your Contract or a Contract anniversary (“CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY”).

WITHDRAWALS		You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. Full or partial withdrawals are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT also may apply.

5 PROSPECTUS

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS

The Contract basically works in two ways. First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for retirement because you can invest in up to 22 investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “ACCUMULATION PHASE” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “ISSUE DATE”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/ or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in any of the 2 Fixed Account Options, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the 20 Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.

Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/ or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “INCOME PLANS”) described on page 21. You receive income payments during what we call the “PAYOUT PHASE” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.

The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

As the Contract Owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract Owner or, if none, the BENEFICIARY will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. See “The Contract.” In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract Owner, or if there is none, to your Beneficiary. See “Death Benefits.”

EXAMPLE 1

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contracts with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Variable Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses.

The example shows the dollar amount of expenses that you would bear directly or indirectly if you:

•

invested $10,000 in a Variable Sub-Account,

•

earned a 5% annual return on your investment,

•

surrendered your Contract, or you began receiving income payments for a specified period of less than 120 months, at the end of each time period, and

•

elected the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.

THE EXAMPLE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY TAXES OR TAX PENALTIES YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY IF YOU SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT.

The first line of the example assumes that the maximum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios are charged. The second line of the example assumes that the minimum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios are charged. Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown below


	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	80	$	130	$	175	$	315
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	69	$	97	$	120	$	204

EXAMPLE 2

THIS EXAMPLE USES THE SAME ASSUMPTIONS AS EXAMPLE 1 ABOVE, EXCEPT THAT IT ASSUMES YOU DECIDED NOT TO SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT, OR YOU BEGAN RECEIVING INCOME PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF AT LEAST 120 MONTHS, AT THE END OF EACH TIME PERIOD.


	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	29	$	88	$	149	$	315
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	18	$	55	$	94	$	204

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT EXAMPLES AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. YOUR RATE OF RETURN MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN 5%, WHICH IS NOT GUARANTEED. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT ASSUME THAT ANY PORTFOLIO EXPENSE WAIVERS OR REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE PERIODS PRESENTED. THE ABOVE EXAMPLES ASSUME THE ELECTION OF THE ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER WITH A MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE OF 1.35%, AN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE OF 0.10%, AND AN ANNUAL CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE OF $35. IF THAT RIDER WERE NOT ELECTED, THE EXPENSE FIGURES SHOWN ABOVE WOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOWER. THE ABOVE EXAMPLES ALSO ASSUME TOTAL ANNUAL PORTFOLIO EXPENSES LISTED IN THE EXPENSE TABLE WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE PERIODS SHOWN.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “ACCUMULATION UNIT.” Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE.” Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund. Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account’s finances, please refer to the Variable Account’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I, which include financial information giving effect to the Consolidation on a pro forma basis, also appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

THE CONTRACT

CONTRACT OWNER

The Allstate Provider Variable Annuity is a contract between you, the Contract Owner, and Allstate Life, a life insurance company. As the Contract Owner, you may exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):

•

the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,

•

the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,

•

the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,

•

the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,

•

the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income payments will be based,

•

the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner dies, and

•

any other rights that the Contract provides.

If you die, any surviving Contract Owner, or, if none, the Beneficiary may exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.

The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-living person and a living person. If the Contract Owner is a grantor trust, the Contract Owner will be considered a non-living person for purposes of the Death of Owner and Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract. The maximum age of the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant cannot exceed 90 as of the date we receive the completed application. You may change the Contract Owner at any time. We will provide a change of ownership form to be signed by you and filed with us. After we accept the form, the change of ownership will be effective as of the date you signed the form. Until we receive your written notice to change the Contract Owner, we are entitled to rely on the most recent ownership information in our files. We will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change the Contract Owner, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each change is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the change.

Changing ownership of this Contract may cause adverse tax consequences and may not be allowed under qualified plans. Please consult with a competent tax advisor prior to making a request for a change of Contract Owner.

BENEFICIARY

The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the Death Proceeds or become the new Contract Owner, subject to the “Death of Owner” section below, if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract Owner dies after the Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments scheduled to continue.

You may name one or more primary and contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. The primary Beneficiary is the person who is first entitled to receive benefits under the Contract upon the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner. A contingent Beneficiary is the person selected by the Contract Owner who will become the Beneficiary if all named primary Beneficiaries die before the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner.

You may restrict income payments to Beneficiaries by providing us a written request. Once we accept the written request, the change or restriction will take effect as of the date you signed the request. Any change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept the change.

You may change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be signed by you and filed with us. After we accept the form, the change of Beneficiary will be effective as of the date you signed the form. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each change is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the change.

If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there are no other surviving primary or contingent Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:

•

your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,

•

your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,

•

your estate.

If one or more Beneficiaries survives you, we will divide the Death Proceeds among the surviving Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you have not given us written instructions, we will pay the Death Proceeds in equal amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.

Each Beneficiary may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the payout option chosen by the original Beneficiary.

MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT

Only an Allstate Life officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.

ANNUITANT

The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application. You may change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Payout Start Date (only if the Contract Owner is a living person). Once we accept a change, it takes effect as of the date you signed the request. Each change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept it.

You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life income payments depend at the time you select an Income Plan. We permit joint Annuitants only on or after the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:

(i)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise,

(ii)	the youngest Beneficiary.

ASSIGNMENT

No owner has a right to assign any interest in a Contract as collateral or security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits under the Contract until they are payable to the Beneficiary. We will not be bound by any assignment until the assignor signs it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSIGN YOUR CONTRACT.

PURCHASES

MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS

Your initial purchase payment must be at least $3,000 ($2,000 for a Qualified Contract). All subsequent purchase payments must be $50 or more. You may make purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to limit the maximum amount of purchase payments we will accept.

AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Consult your sales representative for more detailed information.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your purchase payments among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your allocations by notifying us in writing. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the investment alternatives.

We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in good order.

We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our headquarters. We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “VALUATION DATES.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.

11 PROSPECTUS

RIGHT TO CANCEL

You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer period should your state require it. You may return your Contract by delivering it or mailing it to us. If you exercise this “RIGHT TO CANCEL,” the Contract terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to return a greater amount.

In states where we are required to refund purchase payments, we reserve the right during the Cancellation Period to invest any purchase payments you allocated to a Variable Sub-Account to the money market Variable Sub-Account available under the Contract. We will notify you if we do so. At the end of the Cancellation Period, you may then allocate your money to other Variable Sub-Accounts.

If your Contract is qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will refund the greater of any purchase payments or the Contract Value.

CONTRACT VALUE

Your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.

ACCUMULATION UNITS

To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment Accumulation Units you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account will rise or fall to reflect:

•

changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and

•

the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge, administrative expense charge, and any provision for taxes that have accrued since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.

We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees (currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information. We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider described on page 26.

YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE PORTFOLIOS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO ARE VALUED, SINCE THAT DETERMINATION DIRECTLY BEARS ON THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE OF THE CORRESPONDING VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNT AND, THEREFORE, YOUR CONTRACT VALUE.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed Account. You may choose from among 2 Fixed Account Options: a dollar cost averaging option, and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may not be available in all states. Please consult with your sales representative for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION

Purchase payments that you allocate to the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option (“DCA Fixed Account Option”) will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months for each payment or transfer.

For each purchase payment, the first transfer from the DCA Fixed Account must occur within one month of the date of payment. If we do not receive an allocation from you within one month of the date of payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the money market Sub-Account in equal monthly installments using the longest transfer period being offered at the time the purchase payment is made. Transferring Account Value to the money market Variable Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described on page 18. You must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36 months of payment. At the end of 36 months, any nominal amounts remaining in the DCA Fixed Account will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. No transfers are permitted into the DCA Fixed Account.

We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we guarantee the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to this Option, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate. We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your sales representative or Allstate Life customer service at 1-800-755-5275.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, and ten years in length. In the future, we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.

You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment. Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option.

14 PROSPECTUS

INTEREST RATES. We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the same length that begin at different times.

We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors.

WE DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER PREDICT NOR GUARANTEE WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. For current interest rate information, please contact your sales representative or Allstate Life at 1-800-755-5275.

HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period.

THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW A PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATED TO A GUARANTEED PERIOD WOULD GROW, GIVEN AN ASSUMED GUARANTEE PERIOD AND ANNUAL INTEREST RATE:


Purchase Payment	$	10,000
Guarantee Period		5 years
Annual Interest Rate		4.50	%


	END OF CONTRACT YEAR
	YEAR 1		YEAR 2		YEAR 3		YEAR 4		YEAR 5
Beginning Contract Value	$	10,000.00
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)		X 1.045
	$	10,450.00
Contract Value at end of Contract Year			$	10,450.00
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)				X 1.045
			$	10,920.25
Contract Value at end of Contract Year					$	10,920.25
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)						X 1.045
					$	11,411.66
Contract Value at end of Contract Year							$	11,411.66
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)								X 1.045
							$	11,925.19
Contract Value at end of Contract Year									$	11,925.19
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)										X 1.045
									$	12,461.82

TOTAL INTEREST CREDITED DURING GUARANTEE PERIOD = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)

This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5-year Guarantee Period. If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above.

RENEWALS. Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:

Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or

2)	Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or

15 PROSPECTUS

Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred to include a Market Value Adjustment; we will pay interest from the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of the transfer. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered; or

Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment also will apply when you apply amounts currently invested in a Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless applied during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires). A Market Value Adjustment may apply in the calculation of the Settlement Value described below in the “Death Benefit Amount” section below. We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 19.

We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when you remove your money. “TREASURY RATE” means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15.

The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding (if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to that period plus interest earned under the Contract.

Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.

For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5-year Treasury Rate for that duration is 4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at that later time, the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a decrease in the amount payable to you.

The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS

TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the investment alternatives. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provide or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess of 12 per Contract Year. We treat transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on the same day as one transfer.

We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the transfer.

16 PROSPECTUS

If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.

We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.

TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE

During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments into variable income payments. If you choose an Income Plan that depends on any person’s life, you may not make any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months apart.

TELEPHONE TRANSFERS

You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-755-5275. The cut-off time for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central Time. In the event that the New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange.

We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.

We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may be liable for such losses.

MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING

TRADING LIMITATIONS

We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, or to refuse any transfer request, if:

•

In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:

•

the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;

•

17 PROSPECTUS

•

whether the manager of the underlying portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the portfolio; and

•

the investment objectives and/or size of the Sub-account underlying portfolio.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the DCA Fixed Account to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.

We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.

The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However, participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the performance of each Variable Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Variable Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. We will not include money you allocate to the Fixed Account Options in the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your request. We are not responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of your request.

Example:

Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among two Variable Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the AIM V.I. Value Variable Sub-Account and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the AIM V.I. Value Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in the AIM V.I. Value Variable Sub-Account and use the money to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.

The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

EXPENSES

As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE

During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a $35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. If you surrender your Contract, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge pro rated for the part of the Contract Year elapsed, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver, described below.

18 PROSPECTUS

The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals, and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and income payments; and issuing reports to Contract Owners and regulatory agencies. We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:

•

total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or

•

all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.

In addition, we will waive the contract maintenance charge if total purchase payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts (1.35% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider). The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options. We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE

We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase. We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.

TRANSFER FEE

We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will NOT charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day we receive your payment. Beginning on January 1, 2004, if you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of this “FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT” are NOT carried forward to future Contract Years. We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal. We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:

•

on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate income payments to be received for a specified period);

•

on the death of the Contract Owner (or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person), unless the Settlement Value is used to determine the Death Proceeds;

•

withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or

•

withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.

We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken before age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. Withdrawals may also be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.

CONFINEMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:

1.	you or the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not a natural person) are confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date;

2.	you request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s stay at the long term care facility or hospital; and

3.	a physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract).

You may not claim this benefit if you, the Annuitant, or a member of your or the Annuitant’s immediate family, is the physician prescribing your or the Annuitant’s stay in a long term care facility.

TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if:

1.	you or the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not a natural person) are first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

2.	you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.

Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and conditions of these waivers. The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of a withdrawal on your taxes.

PREMIUM TAXES

Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender. Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death. At our discretion, we may discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 4%, depending on the state.

At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.

DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES

We are not currently making a provision for such taxes. In the future, however, we may make a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account. We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” section beginning on page 29.

OTHER EXPENSES

Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Portfolios. For a summary of current estimates of those charges and expenses, see page 7. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or a portion thereof) next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances. You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal charge and premium taxes. You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro rata from the investment alternatives according to the value of your investments therein. In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable Sub- Account. If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to us. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally

20 PROSPECTUS

considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:

1.	The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

2.	An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or

3.	The SEC permits delay for your protection.

In addition, we may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months (or shorter period if required by law). If we delay payment for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.

MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

If your request for a partial withdrawal will reduce your Contract Value to less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. Before terminating any Contract whose value has been previously reduced by withdrawals to less than $2,000, we will inform you in writing of our intention to terminate your Contract and give you at least 30 days in which to make an additional purchase payment to restore your Contract’s Value to the contractual minimum of $2,000. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and taxes.

INCOME PAYMENTS

PAYOUT START DATE

You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The “PAYOUT START DATE” is the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be:

•

at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

•

no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.

You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.

INCOME PLANS

An Income Plan is a series of scheduled payments to you or someone you designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10 years.

Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to provide:

•

fixed income payments;

•

variable income payments; or

•

a combination of the two.

A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis”. Once the investment in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

The three Income Plans are:

INCOME PLAN 1 - LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by the Contract.

INCOME PLAN 2 - JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by the Contract.

21 PROSPECTUS

INCOME PLAN 3 - GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30 YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. You may elect to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any mortality risk.

The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed payments. If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive before we make each payment.

Please note that under such Income Plans, if you elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die before the third income payment, and so on.

Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3). In that case you may terminate all or part of the Variable Account portion of the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the present value of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn. The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal charge may apply. We also deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at the Payout Start Date. We may make other Income Plans available. You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account to fixed income payments. We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the amount available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:

•

terminate the Contract and pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen; or

•

reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20.

VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the amount of our administration expenses.

We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the underlying Portfolios; and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than we expect based on the tables we use.

In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase, however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net investment return equals the assumed investment rate.

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.

FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:

1.	adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;

2.	deducting any applicable premium tax; and

22 PROSPECTUS

3.	applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.

We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or any shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make payment.

CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is appropriate.

23 PROSPECTUS

DEATH BENEFITS

DEATH OF OWNER

If you die before the Payout Start Date, any surviving joint Contract Owner or, if none, the Beneficiary will be designated the new Contract Owner and will be entitled to the options described below. If the new Contract Owner previously was the Beneficiary, however, the new Contract Owner’s options will be subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary.

The claim for death benefits must be submitted to us within 180 days of the relevant death in order to claim the standard or enhanced death benefit. If a complete claim is not submitted within 180 days of the relevant death, the claimant will receive the greater of Contract Value or the Settlement Value. (See “Death Proceeds” below).

1. If your spouse is the sole surviving Contract Owner or, in the absence of any surviving Contract Owner, is the sole Beneficiary:

(a)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of your spouse; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse; or

(iii)

over the life of your spouse with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse.

(c)	If your spouse does not elect one of these options, the Contract will continue in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the following conditions apply:

The Contract Value of the continued Contract will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. The excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-Accounts as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Within 30 days of the date the Contract is continued, your surviving spouse may choose one of the following transfer alternatives without incurring a transfer fee:

(i)	transfer all or a portion of the excess among the Variable Sub-accounts;

(ii)	transfer all or a portion of the excess into the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period; or

(iii)

transfer all or a portion of the excess into a combination of Variable Sub-accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account.

Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in the Contract.

The surviving spouse may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment.

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the Death Benefit of the continued Contract will be as defined in the Death Benefit provision.

Only one spousal continuation is allowed under the Contract.

2. If the new Contract Owner is not your spouse but is a living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income Payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of the new Contract Owner; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner; or

(iii)

over the life of the new Contract Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner.

(c)

If the new Contract Owner does not elect one of the options above, then the new Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds the Contract Value will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the new Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

24 PROSPECTUS

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to offer additional options upon the death of the Contract Owner.

If the new Contract Owner dies prior to the complete liquidation of the Contract Value, then the new Contract Owner’s named Beneficiary(ies) will receive the greater of the Settlement Value or the remaining Contract Value. This amount must be liquidated as a lump sum within 5 years of the date of the original Contract Owner’s death.

3. If the new Contract Owner is a corporation or other type of non-living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

If the new Contract Owner does not elect the option above, then the new Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, the Contract Value under this option will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the new Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the new Contract Owner upon the death of the Contract Owner.

If any new Contract Owner is a non-living person, all new Contract Owners will be considered to be non-living persons for purposes of these provisions

Under any of these options, all ownership rights, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary, are available to the new Contract Owner from the date of your death to the date on which the Death Proceeds are paid.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the following apply:

1. If the Contract Owner is a living person, then the Contract will continue with a new Annuitant, who will be:

(a)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise

(b)	the youngest Beneficiary.

You may change the Annuitant before the Payout Start Date.

2. If the Contract Owner is a non-living person:

(a)	The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

If the Contract Owner does not elect the option above, then the Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the Annuitant’s date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, the Contract Value under this option will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the Contract Owner upon the death of the Annuitant.

Under any of these options, all ownership rights are available to the non-living Contract Owner from the date of the Annuitant’s death to the date on which the Death Proceeds are paid.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

A claim for a distribution on death must include Due Proof of Death. We will accept the following documentation as “Due Proof of Death”:

•

a certified copy of a death certificate,

•

a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or

•

any other proof acceptable to us.

DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS

DEATH PROCEEDS

If we receive a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds within 180 days of the date of your death, the Death Proceeds are equal to the applicable death benefit described below. Otherwise, the Death Proceeds are equal to the greater of the Contract Value or the Settlement Value.

We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the applicable death benefit as described above.

This right applies only for the purposes of determining the amount payable as Death Proceeds and in no way restricts when a claim may be filed.

DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:

25 PROSPECTUS

1.	the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

2.	the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

3.	the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary.

In calculating the Settlement Value, the amount in each individual Guarantee Period may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment will apply to amounts in a Guarantee Period, unless we calculate the Settlement Value during the 30-day period after the expiration of the Guarantee Period. Also, the Settlement Value will reflect the deduction of any applicable withdrawal charges, contract maintenance charges, and premium taxes. Contract maintenance charges will be pro rated for the part of the Contract Year elapsed as of the date we determine the Settlement Value, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver of such charges described in the “Contract Maintenance Charge” section above.

A “Death Benefit Anniversary” is every seventh Contract Anniversary beginning with the Issue Date. For example, the Issue Date, 7th and 14th Contract Anniversaries are the first 3 Death Benefit Anniversaries. The partial withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:

(a)	= is the withdrawal amount;

(b)	= is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and

is the Contract Value on the Death Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments or withdrawals made since that Anniversary.

We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death benefit will be the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the value of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, which is the greatest of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we determine the death benefit. The “Anniversary Value” is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	is the withdrawal amount,

(b)	is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	is the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments and withdrawals since that Contract Anniversary.

We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the oldest Contract Owner’s or the Annuitant’s, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, 80th birthday. The Enhanced Death Benefit Rider will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any state non-forfeiture laws that govern the Contract.

MORE INFORMATION

ALLSTATE LIFE

Allstate Life is the issuer of the Contract. Allstate Life was organized in 1957 as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the state of Illinois. Prior to January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company (“Glenbrook Life”) issued the Contract. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life merged with Allstate Life (“Merger”). On the date of the Merger, Allstate Life acquired from Glenbrook Life all of Glenbrook Life’s assets and became directly liable for Glenbrook Life’s liabilities and obligations with respect to all contracts issued by Glenbrook Life. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Illinois. All of the capital stock issued and outstanding of Allstate Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

26 PROSPECTUS

“Consolidation”). The Accumulation Unit Values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.

We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated asset account under Illinois law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations. Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Allstate Life.

The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.

THE PORTFOLIOS

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the distributing Portfolios at their net asset value.

VOTING PRIVILEGES. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with instructions that we receive from Contract Owners entitled to give such instructions.

As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract Owner or anyone with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income payments has the voting interest. The payee’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.

We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.

We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.

CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another eligible investment Portfolio. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in additional underlying funds. We will notify you in advance of any change.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the same Portfolio. The board of directors/trustees of these Portfolios monitors for possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios. Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, the Portfolio’s board of directors/trustees may require a separate account to withdraw its participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio’s net asset value could decrease if it had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.

THE CONTRACT

DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc., (“ALFS”) located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL 60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts. ALFS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company. ALFS is a registered broker dealer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“EXCHANGE ACT”), and is a member of the NASD.

27 PROSPECTUS

We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. Commissions paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract sales will not exceed 8% of all purchase payments. These commissions are intended to cover distribution expenses. Sometimes, we also pay the broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A persistency bonus is not expected to exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the Contract Values considered in connection with the bonus. In some states, Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees of banks which may be acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.

Allstate Life does not pay ALFS a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The underwriting agreement with ALFS provides that we will reimburse ALFS for any liability to Contract Owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts issued.

ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the Contracts and the Variable Account.

We provide the following administrative services, among others:

•

issuance of the Contracts;

•

maintenance of Contract Owner records;

•

Contract Owner services;

•

calculation of unit values;

•

maintenance of the Variable Account; and

•

preparation of Contract Owner reports.

We will send you Contract statements and transaction confirmations at least annually. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic statement. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we reserve the right to make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice of the potential error.

We will also provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.

NON-QUALIFIED ANNUITIES HELD WITHIN A QUALIFIED PLAN

If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your qualified plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.

LEGAL MATTERS

All matters of state insurance law pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and Allstate Life’s right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been passed upon by Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of Allstate Life.

TAXES

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. ALLSTATE LIFE MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION INVOLVING A CONTRACT.

Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances. If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.

TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Allstate Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L of the Code. Since the Variable Account is not an entity separate from Allstate Life, and its operations form a part of Allstate Life, it will not be taxed separately. Investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract. Under existing federal income tax law, Allstate Life believes that the Variable Account investment income and capital gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase the reserves under the Contract. Accordingly, Allstate Life does not anticipate that it will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Variable Account, and therefore Allstate Life does not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. If Allstate Life is taxed on investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account, then Allstate Life may impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to make provision for such taxes.

TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL

TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:

•

the Contract Owner is a natural person,

•

the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and

•

Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes.

NON-NATURAL OWNERS. Non-natural owners are also referred to as Non Living Owners in this prospectus. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts does not enjoy tax deferral and is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the non-natural owner during the taxable year.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE NON-NATURAL OWNER RULE. There are several exceptions to the general rule that annuity contracts held by a non-natural owner are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Contracts will generally be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as agent for a natural person. However, this special exception will not apply in the case of an employer who is the nominal owner of an annuity contract under a non-Qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees. Other exceptions to the non-natural owner rule are: (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) certain qualified contracts; (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain qualified plans; (4) certain contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) immediate annuity contracts, purchased with a single premium, when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period.

GRANTOR TRUST OWNED ANNUITY. Contracts owned by a grantor trust are considered owned by a non-natural owner. Grantor trust owned contracts receive tax deferral as described in the Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule section. In accordance with the Code, upon the death of the annuitant, the death benefit must be paid. According to your Contract, the Death Benefit is paid to the surviving Contract Owner. Since the trust will be the surviving Contract Owner in all cases, the Death Benefit will be payable to the trust notwithstanding any beneficiary designation on the annuity contract. A trust, including a grantor trust, has two options for receiving any death benefits: 1) a lump sum payment; or 2) payment deferred up to five years from date of death.

DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be “adequately diversified” consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable year. Although Allstate Life does not have control over the Portfolios or their investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.

OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. The IRS has stated that a contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.

Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in private and published rulings in which it found that Contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, if your contract offers more than twenty (20) investment alternatives you have the choice to allocate premiums and contract values among a broader selection of investment alternatives than described in such rulings. You may be able to transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would be includible in your gross income. Allstate Life does not know what standards will be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However, we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.

TAXATION OF PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, amounts received are taxable to the extent the Contract Value, without regard to surrender charges, exceeds the investment in the Contract. The investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.

TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity payments received from a Non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your investment in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period. The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio of the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from taxable income is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these ratios. If any variable payment is less than the excludable amount you should contact a competent tax advisor to determine how to report any unrecovered investment. The federal tax treatment of annuity payments is unclear in some respects. As a result, if the IRS should provide further guidance, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount will be allowed as a deduction for your last taxable year.

WITHDRAWALS AFTER THE PAYOUT START DATE. Federal tax law is unclear regarding the taxation of any additional withdrawal received after the Payout Start Date. It is possible that a greater or lesser portion of such a payment could be taxable than the amount we determine.

DISTRIBUTION AT DEATH RULES. In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:

•

if any Contract Owner dies on or after the Payout Start Date but before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Contract Owner’s death;

•

if any Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after the date of the Contract Owner’s death. These requirements are satisfied if any portion of the Contract Owner’s interest that is payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary is distributed over the life of such Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary) and the distributions begin within 1 year of the Contract Owner’s death. If the Contract Owner’s designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Contract Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Contract Owner.

•

if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, then the Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of applying the distribution at death rules. In addition, a change in the Annuitant on a Contract owned by a non-natural person will be treated as the death of the Contract Owner.

TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:

•

if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a full withdrawal, or

•

if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

29 PROSPECTUS

made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made under an immediate annuity, or

•

attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL PERIODIC PAYMENTS. With respect to non-Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments or immediate annuity payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the Contract Owner’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.

TAX FREE EXCHANGES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 1035. A 1035 exchange is a tax-free exchange of a non-qualified life insurance contract, endowment contract or annuity contract into a non-Qualified annuity contract. The contract owner(s) must be the same on the old and new contract. Basis from the old contract carries over to the new contract so long as we receive that information from the relinquishing company. If basis information is never received, we will assume that all exchanged funds represent earnings and will allocate no cost basis to them.

PARTIAL EXCHANGES. The IRS has issued a ruling that permits partial exchanges of annuity contracts. Under this ruling, if you take a withdrawal from a receiving or relinquishing annuity contract within 24 months of the partial exchange, then special aggregation rules apply for purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution. The IRS has issued limited guidance on how to aggregate and report these distributions. The IRS is expected to provide further guidance; as a result, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different.

TAXATION OF OWNERSHIP CHANGES. If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is taxed as a withdrawal of such amount or portion and may also incur the 10% penalty tax.

AGGREGATION OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. The Code requires that all non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by Allstate Life (or its affiliates) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.

INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold the required 10% of the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.

Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates for all annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

Generally, Section 1441 of the Code provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a completed Form W-8BEN. A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.

30 PROSPECTUS

TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS

The income on tax sheltered annuity (TSA) and IRA investments is tax deferred, and the income on variable annuities held by such plans does not receive any additional tax deferral. You should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior to purchasing a variable annuity as a TSA or IRA. Tax Qualified Contracts are contracts purchased as investments as:

•

Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Section 408(b) of the Code;

•

Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;

•

Simplified Employee Pension (SEP IRA) under Section 408(k) of the Code;

•

Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) under Section 408(p) of the Code; and

•

Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements.

The tax rules applicable to participants with tax qualified annuities vary according to the type of contract and the terms and conditions of the endorsement. Adverse tax consequences may result from certain transactions such as excess contributions, premature distributions, and, distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules. Allstate Life can issue an individual retirement annuity on a rollover or transfer of proceeds from a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored retirement plan under which the decedent’s surviving spouse is the beneficiary. Allstate Life does not offer an individual retirement annuity that can accept a transfer of funds for any other, non-spousal, beneficiary of a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored retirement plan.

In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.

TAXATION OF WITHDRAWALS FROM AN INDIVIDUALLY OWNED TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACT. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Tax Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible IRA contributions) bears to the Contract Value, is excluded from your income. We do not keep track of nondeductible contributions, and all tax reporting of distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs will indicate that the distribution is fully taxable.

“Qualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are not included in gross income. “Qualified distributions” are any distributions made more than five taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution to any Roth IRA and which are:

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death,

•

attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or

•

made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000).

“Nonqualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are treated as made from contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that distributions exceed contributions. All tax reporting of distributions from Roth IRAs will indicate that the taxable amount is not determined.

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS. Generally, IRAs (excluding Roth IRAs) and TSAs require minimum distributions upon reaching age 70 1/2. Failure to withdraw the required minimum distribution will result in a 50% tax penalty on the shortfall not withdrawn from the Contract. Not all income plans offered under the Contract satisfy the requirements for minimum distributions. Because these distributions are required under the Code and the method of calculation is complex, please see a competent tax advisor.

THE DEATH BENEFIT AND TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. Pursuant to the Code and IRS regulations, an IRA (e.g., traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA) may not invest in life insurance contracts. However, an IRA may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. The Contract offers a death benefit that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. We believe that the Death Benefits offered by your Contract do not constitute life insurance under these regulations.

It is also possible that certain death benefits that offer enhanced earnings could be characterized as an incidental death benefit. If the death benefit were so characterized, this could result in current taxable income to a Contract Owner. In addition, there are limitations on the amount of incidental death benefits that may be provided under qualified plans, such as in connection with a 403(b) plan.

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the qualified plans listed above.

PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS FROM TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a Tax Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:

31 PROSPECTUS

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs),

•

made pursuant to an IRS levy,

•

made for certain medical expenses,

•

made to pay for health insurance premiums while unemployed (applies only for IRAs),

•

made for qualified higher education expenses (applies only for IRAs), and

•

made for a first time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit and applies only for IRAs).

During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL PERIODIC PAYMENTS ON TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. With respect to Tax Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the taxpayer’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.

INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING ON TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS. Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions that are not considered “eligible rollover distributions.” The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold the required 10% from the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory. Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all “eligible rollover distributions” unless you elect to make a “direct rollover” of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover distributions generally include all distributions from employer sponsored retirement plans, including TSAs but excluding IRAs, with the exception of:

•

required minimum distributions, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or,

•

hardship distributions.

For all annuitized distributions that are not subject to the 20% withholding requirement, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES. Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA). Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence. Certain distributions from other types of qualified plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an Individual Retirement Annuity.

ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES. Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to make nondeductible contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity.

32 PROSPECTUS

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.

Subject to certain limitations, a traditional Individual Retirement Account or Annuity may be converted or “rolled over” to a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. The income portion of a conversion or rollover distribution is taxable currently, but is exempted from the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions.

ANNUITIES HELD BY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account. The death benefit of an annuity held in an Individual Retirement Account must be paid upon the death of the annuitant.

SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION IRA. Section 408(k) of the Code allows eligible employers to establish simplified employee pension plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. These employers may, within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the employees to the individual retirement annuities. Employers intending to use the Contract in connection with such plans should seek competent tax advice.

SAVINGS INCENTIVE MATCH PLANS FOR EMPLOYEES (SIMPLE IRA). Section 408(p) of the Code allow eligible employers with 100 or fewer employees to establish SIMPLE retirement plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. In general, a SIMPLE IRA consists of a salary deferral program for eligible employees and matching or nonelective contributions made by employers. Employers intending to purchase the Contract as a SIMPLE IRA should seek competent tax and legal advice.

TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED IRAS (TRADITIONAL, ROTH, SEP, OR SIMPLE), PLEASE REFER TO IRS PUBLICATION 590 AND YOUR COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR.

TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES. Section 403(b) of the Code provides tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any contract used for a 403(b) plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction contributions made after 12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction contributions, may be made only on or after the date the employee:

•

attains age 59 1/2,

•

severs employment,

•

dies,

•

becomes disabled, or

•

incurs a hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be distributed on account of hardship).

These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Allstate Life is directed to transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan. Generally, we do not accept Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) funds in 403(b) contracts.

APPENDIX B

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLE

The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to the end of the Guarantee Period.

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income payment request. If a Note with a maturity of the original Guarantee Period is not available, we determine an appropriate interest rate based on an interpolation of the next shortest duration and next longest duration Notes.

Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.

* If a U.S. Treasury Note (“Note”) with a maturity of the Guarantee Period is not available, we will determine an appropriate interest rate based on an interpolation of the next shortest duration and next longest duration Notes.

The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:

.9 X [I-(J + .0025)] X N

To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan from a Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires.

43 PROSPECTUS

EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Purchase Payment: $10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period

Guarantee Period: 5 years

Interest Rate: 4.50%

Full Surrender: End of Contract Year 3

NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.

Example 1 (Assumes declining interest rates)


Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:		$10,000.00 X(1.045)/3/ = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:		.15 X($10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:		I = 4.5%
		J = 4.2%

Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:

730 days

365 days


		Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 X [I - (J
		+ .0025)] X N = .9 X [.045 - (.042 + .0025)]
		X2 = .0009
		Market Value Adjustment = Market Value
		Adjustment Factor X Amount Subject to Market
		Value Adjustment:
		=.0009 X($11,411.66 - $1,500.00) = $8.92
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result of full withdrawal at		$11,411.66 + $8.92 = $11,420.58

the end of Contract Year 3:

EXAMPLE 2: (ASSUMES RISING INTEREST RATES)


Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:		$10,000.00 X(1.045)/3/ = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:		.15 X($10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:		I = 4.5%
		J = 4.8%

Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:

730 days

		Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 X [I - (J
		+ .0025)] X N = .9 X [.045 - (.048 + .0025)]

		Market Value Adjustment = Market Value
		Adjustment Factor X Amount Subject to Market
		Value Adjustment:
		=-.0099 X($11,411.66 - $1,500.00) = - $98.13
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result of full withdrawal at		$11,411.66 - $98.13 = $11,313.53

THE CONTRACT AT A GLANCE

The following is a snapshot of the Contract. Please read the remainder of this prospectus for more information.


FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS		You can purchase a Contract with as little as $3,000 ($2,000 for “QUALIFIED CONTRACTS”, which are Contracts issued within QUALIFIED PLANS). You can add to your Contract as often and as much as you like, but each payment must be at least $50.

RIGHT TO CANCEL		You may cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require (“CANCELLATION PERIOD”). Upon cancellation, we will return your purchase payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts allocated to the Variable Account.

EXPENSES		You will bear the following expenses:

		• Total Variable Account annual fees equal to 1.15% of average daily net assets (1.37% if you select the ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER and 1.59% if you select the ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER)

		• Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 (with certain exceptions)

		• Withdrawal charges ranging from 0% to 6% of purchase payment withdrawn (with certain exceptions)

		• Transfer fee of $10 after 12th transfer in any CONTRACT YEAR (fee currently waived)

4 PROSPECTUS



SPECIAL SERVICES		For your convenience, we offer these special services:

		• AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

		• AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

		• DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

		• SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

INCOME PAYMENTS		You can choose fixed income payments, variable income payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your income payments in one of the following ways:

		• life income with guaranteed payments

		• a “joint and survivor” life income with guaranteed payments

		• guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30 years)

DEATH BENEFITS		If you or the ANNUITANT (if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person) die before the PAYOUT START DATE, we will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.

TRANSFERS		Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract Value (“CONTRACT VALUE”) among the investment alternatives, with certain restrictions. Transfers to a Guarantee Period of the Fixed Account must be at least $50.

		We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each “Contract Year,” which we measure from the date we issue your Contract or a Contract Anniversary (“CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY”).

WITHDRAWALS		You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. Full or partial withdrawals are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT also may apply.

5 PROSPECTUS

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS

The Contract basically works in two ways. First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for retirement because you can invest in up to 40 investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “ACCUMULATION PHASE” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “ISSUE DATE”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/ or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in any of the 3 Fixed Account Options, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the 38 Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.

Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/ or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “INCOME PLANS”) described on page 23. You receive income payments during what we call the “PAYOUT PHASE” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.

The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

EXAMPLE 1

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contracts with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract Owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Variable Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses. The example below shows the dollar amount of expenses that you would bear directly or indirectly if you:

•

invested $10,000 in a Variable Sub-Account,

•

earned a 5% annual return on your investment,

•

surrendered your Contract, or you began receiving income payments for a specified period of less than 120 months, at the end of each time period, and

•

elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.

THE EXAMPLE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY TAXES OR TAX PENALTIES YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY IF YOU SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT.


	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	95	$	174	$	246	$	448
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	71	$	103	$	130	$	226

EXAMPLE 2

This example uses the same assumptions as Example 1 above, except that it assumes you decided not to surrender your Contract, or you began receiving income payments for a specified period of at least 120 months, at the end of each time period.


	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	44	$	131	$	221	$	448
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses	$	20	$	61	$	105	$	226

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT EXAMPLES AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. YOUR RATE OF RETURN MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN 5%, WHICH IS NOT GUARANTEED. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT ASSUME THAT ANY PORTFOLIO EXPENSE WAIVERS OR REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENTS ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE PERIODS PRESENTED. THE ABOVE EXAMPLES ASSUME THE ELECTION OF THE ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER, WITH A MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE OF 1.49%, AN ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE OF 0.10%, AND AN ANNUAL CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE OF $35. IF NO RIDER WERE ELECTED, OR IF THE ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER WERE ELECTED, THE EXPENSE FIGURES SHOWN ABOVE WOULD BE SLIGHTLY LOWER. THE ABOVE EXAMPLES ALSO ASSUME TOTAL ANNUAL PORTFOLIO EXPENSES LISTED IN THE EXPENSE TABLE WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE PERIODS SHOWN.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “ACCUMULATION UNIT”. Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE”. Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund. Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account’s finances, please refer to the Variable Account’s financial statement contained in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I, which include financial information giving effect to the Consolidation on a pro forma basis, also appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving contract Owner dies, and

•

any other rights that the Contract provides.

If you die, any surviving Contract Owner, or, if none, the Beneficiary may exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.

The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-living person and a living person. If the Contract Owner is a grantor trust, the Contract Owner will be considered a non-living person for the purposes of the Death of Owner and Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract. The maximum age of the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant cannot exceed 90 as of the date we received the completed application. You may change the Contract Owner at any time. We will provide a change of ownership form to be signed by you and filed with us. After we accept the form, the change of ownership will be effective as of the date you signed the form. Until we receive your written notice to change the Contract Owner, we are entitled to rely on the most recent ownership information in our files. We will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change the Contract Owner, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each change is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the change.

ANNUITANT

You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life income payments depend. We permit joint Annuitants only on or after the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:

(i)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise,

(ii)	the youngest Beneficiary.

BENEFICIARY

You may name one or more primary and contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. The primary Beneficiary is the person who is the first entitled to receive benefits under the Contract upon the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner. A contingent Beneficiary is the person selected by the Contract Owner who will become the Beneficiary if all named primary Beneficiaries die before the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner.

10 PROSPECTUS

•

your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,

•

your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,

•

your estate.

If one or more Beneficiaries survive you, we will divide the Death Proceeds among the surviving Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you have not given us written instructions, we will pay the Death Proceeds in equal amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.

If more than one Beneficiary shares in the Death Proceeds, each Beneficiary will be treated as a separate and independent owner of his or her respective share. Each Beneficiary will exercise all rights related to his or her share, including the sole right to select a payout option, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the payout option chosen by the original Beneficiary.

PURCHASES

MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS

AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed information.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our home office. We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “VALUATION DATES.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.

11 PROSPECTUS

RIGHT TO CANCEL

If your Contract is qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will refund the greater of any purchase payments of the Contract Value.

CONTRACT VALUE

ACCUMULATION UNITS

To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account will rise or fall to reflect:

•

changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and

•

We determine Contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees (currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information. We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider described on page 27.

12 PROSPECTUS

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options: 2 dollar cost averaging options, and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may not be available in all states. Please consult with your representative for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. Purchase payments that you allocate to the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option (“DCA Fixed Account Option”) will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months for each payment or transfer.

For each purchase payment, the first transfer from the DCA Fixed Account must occur within one month of the date of payment. If we do not receive an allocation from you within one month of the date of payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the money market Variable Sub-Account in equal monthly installments. Transferring Account Value to the money market Variable Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described on page 19. You must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36 months of payment. At the end of 36 months, any nominal amounts remaining in the DCA Fixed Account will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. No transfers are permitted into the DCA Fixed Account.

SHORT TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. You may establish a Short Term Dollar Cost Averaging Program by allocating purchase payments to the Short Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option (“Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option”). We will credit interest to purchase payments you allocate to this Option for up to one year at the current rate in effect at the time of allocation.

For each purchase payment, the first transfer from the Short Term DCA Fixed Account must occur within one month of the date of payment. If we do not receive an allocation from you within one month of the date of payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the money market Variable Sub-Account in equal monthly installments. Transferring Account Value to the money market Variable Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described on page 19.

We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 12 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 12 months. At the end of the transfer period, any nominal amounts remaining in the Short Term DCA Fixed Account will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account.

If you discontinue the Short term Dollar Cost Averaging Program before the end of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in this Option to the money market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term DCA Fixed Account.

We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we

15 PROSPECTUS

guarantee the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to either of these Options, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate. We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your representative or Allstate Life customer service at 1-800-755-5275.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.

You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment(s). Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option.

THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW A PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATED TO A GUARANTEED PERIOD WOULD GROW, GIVEN AN ASSUMED GUARANTEE PERIOD AND ANNUAL INTEREST RATE:


Purchase Payment	$	10,000
Guarantee Period		5 years
Annual Interest Rate		4.50	%


	END OF CONTRACT YEAR
	YEAR 1		YEAR 2		YEAR 3		YEAR 4		YEAR 5
Beginning Contract Value	$	10,000.00
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)		x1.045

		$10,450.00
Contract Value at end of Contract Year			$	10,450.00
X (1 + Annual Interest) x1.045

				$10,920.25
Contract Value at end of Contract Year					$	10,920.25
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)						x1.045

						$11,411.66
Contract Value at end of Contract Year							$	11,411.66
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)								x1.045

								$11,925.19
Contract Value at end of Contract Year									$	11,925.19
X (1 + Annual Interest Rate)										x1.045

									$	12,461.82

TOTAL INTEREST CREDITED DURING GUARANTEE PERIOD = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)

16 PROSPECTUS

2)	Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or

Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:

•

within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 20,

•

that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 21,

•

to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or

•

a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after continuing the Contract.

The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

17 PROSPECTUS

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS

TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to either the Short-Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Options. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess of 12 per Contract Year. All transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on any given day counts as one transfer.

If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.

We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.

TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE

TELEPHONE TRANSFERS

We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time without notice.

MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING

While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, not all market timing or excessive trading is identifiable or preventable. Imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it first occurs. To the extent that such trading activity occurs prior to detection and the imposition of 18 PROSPECTUS trading restrictions, the portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.

18 PROSPECTUS

TRADING LIMITATIONS

We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, or to refuse any transfer request, if:

•

In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:

•

the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;

•

whether the manager of the underlying portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the portfolio; and

•

the investment objectives and/or size of the Sub-account underlying portfolio.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the Short Term DCA Fixed Account or the DCA Fixed Account, to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.

We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfers count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

19 PROSPECTUS

increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and use the money to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.

The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

EXPENSES

As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE

The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and the Variable Account.

Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals, and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and income payments; and issuing reports to Contract Owners and regulatory agencies. We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:

•

total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or

•

all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.

In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05% of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts (1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, and 1.49% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider). The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options. We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE

TRANSFER FEE

We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day we receive your payment. If you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of this “FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT” are not carried forward to future Contract Years. We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest

20 PROSPECTUS

purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal. We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:

•

on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate income payments to be received for a specified period);

•

on the death of the Contract Owner, or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person (unless the Settlement Value is used to determine the death benefit);

•

withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or

•

withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.

We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty and a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisors regarding any withdrawals.

1.	You or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, are confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date;

2.	You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s stay at the long term care facility or hospital; and

3.	A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract).

TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if:

1.	you or the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not a natural person) are first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

2.	you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.

UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on one partial or a full withdrawal taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:

1.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;

2.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, receive unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a result of that unemployment; and

3.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, claim this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of unemployment compensation.

Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and conditions of these waivers. The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the effect of a withdrawal on your taxes.

PREMIUM TAXES

DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES

We are not currently maintaining a provision

21 PROSPECTUS

for such taxes. In the future, however, we may establish a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account. We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” section beginning on page 34.

OTHER EXPENSES

Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Portfolios. For a summary of current estimates of those charges and expenses, see page 31. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof) next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances. You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal charge and premium taxes. You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro rata from the investment alternatives according to the value of your investments therein. In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable Sub-Account. If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to us. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:

1.	The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

2.	An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or

3.	The SEC permits delay for your protection.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. Before terminating any Contract whose value has been previously reduced by withdrawals to less than $2,000, we will inform you in writing of our intention to terminate your Contract and give you at least 30 days in which to make an additional purchase payment to restore your Contract’s Value to the contractual minimum of $2,000. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.

22 PROSPECTUS

INCOME PAYMENTS

PAYOUT START DATE

You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The “PAYOUT START DATE” is the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be:

•

at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

•

no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.

INCOME PLANS

•

fixed income payments;

•

variable income payments; or

•

a combination of the two.

A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis”. Once the investment in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 591/2 may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

The three Income Plans are:

INCOME PLAN 3 - GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30 YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. You may elect to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any mortality risk.

We may make other Income Plans available.

If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Option, you may be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value to an Income Plan. You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start Date. If

23 PROSPECTUS

you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account to fixed income payments. We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the amount available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:

•

reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20.

VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.

FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:

1.	adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;

2.	deducting any applicable premium tax; and

3.	applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.

CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is appropriate.

DEATH BENEFITS

DEATH OF OWNER

1. If your spouse is the sole surviving Contract Owner or, in the absence of any surviving Contract Owner, is the sole Beneficiary:

(a)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

24 PROSPECTUS

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of your spouse; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse; or

(iii)

over the life of your spouse with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse.

(c)	If your spouse does not elect one of these options, the Contract will continue in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the following conditions apply:

The Contract Value of the continued Contract will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account. The excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-accounts as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-account. Within 30 days of the date the Contract is continued, your surviving spouse may choose one of the following transfer alternatives without incurring a transfer fee:

(i)	transfer all or a portion of the excess among the Variable Sub-accounts;

(ii)	transfer all or a portion of the excess into the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period; or

(iii)

transfer all or a portion of the excess into a combination of Variable Sub-accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account.

Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in the Contract.

The surviving spouse may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment.

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the Death Benefit of the continued Contract will be as defined in the Death Benefit provision.

Only one spousal continuation is allowed under the Contract.

2. If the new Contract Owner is not your spouse but is a living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income Payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of the new Contract Owner; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner; or

(iii)

over the life of the new Contract Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner.

(c)

If the new Contract Owner does not elect one of the options above, then the new Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, the Contract Value will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the new Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to offer additional options upon the death of the Contract Owner.

3. If the new Contract Owner is a corporation or other type of non-living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

25 PROSPECTUS

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the new Contract Owner upon the death of the Contract Owner.

If any new Contract Owner is a non-living person, all new Contract Owners will be considered to be non-living persons for purposes of these provisions.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the following apply:

1. If the Contract Owner is a living person, then the Contract will continue with a new Annuitant, who will be:

(a)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise

(b)	the youngest Beneficiary.

You may change the Annuitant before the Payout Start Date.

2. If the Contract Owner is a non-living person:

(a)	The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the Contract Owner upon the death of the Annuitant.

Under any of these options, all ownership rights are available to the non-living Contract Owner from the date of the Annuitant’s death to the date on which the Death Proceeds are paid.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

A claim for a distribution on death must include Due Proof of Death. We will accept the following documentation as “Due Proof of Death”:

•

a certified copy of a death certificate,

•

a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or

•

any other proof acceptable to us.

DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS

DEATH PROCEEDS. If we receive a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds within 180 days of the date of your death, the Death Proceeds are equal to the applicable death benefit described below. Otherwise, the Death Proceeds are equal to the greater of the Contract Value or the Settlement Value.

We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the applicable death benefit as described above.

This right applies only for the purposes of determining the amount payable as Death Proceeds and in no way restricts when a claim may be filed.

DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:

1.	the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

2.	the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

3.	the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary.

26 PROSPECTUS

(a)	= the withdrawal amount;

(b)	= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and

(c)	= the Contract Value on the Death Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments or withdrawals made since that Anniversary.

OPTIONAL RIDERS

We offer two optional riders: an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider. You may elect to add either or no Riders to your Contract; you may not add both. If you elect an optional Rider, we will charge you a higher mortality and expense risk charge. We may discontinue offering either or both of these Riders at any time. The benefits under these Riders are described below.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

If the Contract Owner is a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only upon the death of the Contract Owner. If the Contract Owner is not a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only upon the death of the Annuitant. For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death benefit will be the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the enhanced death benefit. The enhanced death benefit is equal to the greater of the Enhanced Death Benefit A or Enhanced Death Benefit B. Enhanced Death Benefit B may not be available in all states. The enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any state nonforfeiture laws that govern the Contract.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT A. At issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is equal to the initial purchase payment. After issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is the greatest of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we determine the death benefit. The “Anniversary Value” is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments and withdrawals since that Contract Anniversary.

We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the oldest Contract Owner’s or the Annuitant’s, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, 85th birthday. After age 85, we will recalculate Enhanced Death Benefit A only for purchase payments and withdrawals.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT B. The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total purchase payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below. Each purchase payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of:

•

the date we determine the death benefit, or

•

the first day of the month following the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant’s, 85th birthday.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	= the most recently calculated enhanced death benefit.

ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER

Instead of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, you may instead choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.

The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is as described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”

The enhanced income benefit guarantees that the amount of income payments you receive will not be less than those determined by applying the value of the enhanced death benefit on the Payout Start Date to the minimum guaranteed rate (rather than to any current rates we may be offering) for the Income Plan you select.

The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract Owner elects a Payout Start Date that:

•

is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and

•

is prior to the Annuitant’s 90th Birthday.

On the Payout Start Date, you may apply the greater of the Contract Value or the enhanced income benefit to the Payout Phase of the Contract. No Market Value Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments guaranteed for either a single or joint lives with a period certain of at least:

•

10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or

27 PROSPECTUS

•

5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.

If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.

The enhanced income benefit only applies to the determination of income payments under Income Plans in the circumstances described above. This is not a guarantee of Contract Value on investment performance. This benefit does not enhance the amounts you receive in partial withdrawals or surrenders. If you surrender your Contract, you will not receive any benefit under this Rider.

ALLSTATE LIFE

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.

THE PORTFOLIOS

28 PROSPECTUS

CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another eligible investment portfolio. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in additional underlying funds. We will notify you in advance of any change.

The board of directors/trustees of these Portfolios monitors for possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios. Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, the Portfolio’s board of directors/trustees may require a separate account to withdraw its participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio’s net asset value could decrease if it had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.

THE CONTRACT

DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc. (“ALFS”), located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL 60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. ALFS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. ALFS is a registered broker dealer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“EXCHANGE ACT”), and is a member of the NASD.

ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the Contracts and the Variable Account.

•

issuance of the Contracts;

•

maintenance of Contract Owner records;

•

Contract Owner services;

TAXES

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. ALLSTATE LIFE MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION INVOLVING A CONTRACT.

TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL

TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:

•

the Contract Owner is a natural person,

•

the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and

•

Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes.

31 PROSPECTUS

the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.

DISTRIBUTION AT DEATH RULES. In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:

•

TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:

•

if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a full withdrawal, or

•

if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

32 PROSPECTUS

PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made under an immediate annuity, or

•

attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

33 PROSPECTUS

TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS

•

Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Section 408(b) of the Code;

•

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements.

In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death,

•

attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or

•

made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000).

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the qualified plans listed above.

34 PROSPECTUS

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs),

•

During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

•

required minimum distributions, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or,

•

hardship distributions.

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

35 PROSPECTUS

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.

ANNUITIES HELD BY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (COMMONLY KNOWN AS CUSTODIAL

IRAS). Internal Revenue Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Individual Retirement Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the Annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account.

Generally, the death benefit of an annuity held in an Individual Retirement Account must be paid upon the death of the Annuitant. However, in most states, the Contract permits the custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account to continue the Contract in the accumulation phase, with the Annuitant’s surviving spouse as the new Annuitant, if the following conditions are met:

1)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account is the owner of the annuity and has the right to the death proceeds otherwise payable under the annuity contract;

2)	The deceased Annuitant was the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account;

3)	We receive a complete request for settlement for the death of the Annuitant; and

4)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account provides us with a signed certification of the following:

(a)	The Annuitant’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Individual Retirement Account;

(b)	The Annuitant’s surviving spouse has elected to continue the Individual Retirement Account as his or her own Individual Retirement Account; and

(c)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account has continued the Individual Retirement Account pursuant to the surviving spouse’s election.

TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED IRAS (TRADITIONAL, ROTH, SEP, OR SIMPLE), PLEASE REFER TO IRS PUBLICATION 590 AND YOUR COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR.

APPENDIX B

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to the end of the Guarantee Period.

Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.

The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:

.9 X [I-(J + .0025)] X N

52 PROSPECTUS

EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Purchase Payment: $10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period

Guarantee Period: 5 years

Interest Rate: 4.50%

Full Surrender: End of Contract Year 3

NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.

Example 1 (Assumes declining interest rates)


Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:		$10,000.00 X (1.045)/3/ = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:		.15 X($10,000.00) = $1,500.00
		I = 4.5%
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:		J = 4.2%

730 days

365 days


Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:		Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 X [I - (J
		+ .0025)] X N = .9 X [.045 - (.042 + .0025)]
		X 2 = .0009
		Market Value Adjustment = Market Value
		Adjustment Factor X Amount Subject to Market
		Value Adjustment:
		= .0009 X ($11,411.66 - $1,500.00) = $8.92
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result of full withdrawal at		$11,411.66 + $8.92 = $11,420.58

the end of Contract Year 3:

EXAMPLE 2: (ASSUMES RISING INTEREST RATES)


Step 1. Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:		$10,000.00 X (1.045)/3/ = $11,411.66
Step 2. Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:		.15 X ($10,000.00) = $1,500.00
		I = 4.5%
Step 3. Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:		J = 4.8%

730 days

365 days


Step 4. Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:		Market Value Adjustment Factor: .9 X [I - (J
		+ .0025)] X N = .9 X [.045 - (.048 + .0025)]
		X 2 = -.0099
		Market Value Adjustment = Market Value
		Adjustment Factor X Amount Subject to Market
		Value Adjustment:
		= -.0099 X ($11,411.66 - $1,500.00) = -$98.13
Step 5. Calculate the amount received by a Contract Owner as a result of full withdrawal at		$11,411.66 - $98.13 = $11,313.53

THE CONTRACT AT A GLANCE

The following is a snapshot of the Contract. Please read the remainder of this prospectus for more information.


FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS		You can purchase a Contract with as little as $3,000 ($2,000 for “QUALIFIED CONTRACTS”, which are Contracts issued within QUALIFIED PLANS). You can add to your Contract as often and as much as you like, but each payment must be at least $50.

RIGHT TO CANCEL		You may cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or any longer period as your state may require (“CANCELLATION PERIOD”). Upon cancellation, we will return your purchase payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts allocated to the Variable Account.

EXPENSES		You will bear the following expenses:

		• Total Variable Account annual fees equal to 1.15% of average daily net assets (1.37% if you select the ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER; 1.59% if you selected the ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER (for Contracts issued before September 22, 2000); and 1.65% if you select the ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER II (for Contracts issued on or after September 22, 2000)

		• Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 (with certain exceptions)

		• Withdrawal charges ranging from 0% to 6% of purchase payment withdrawn (with certain exceptions)

		• Transfer fee of $10 after 12th transfer in any CONTRACT YEAR (fee currently waived)

		• State premium tax (if your state imposes one)

		In addition, each Portfolio pays expenses that you will bear indirectly if you invest in a Variable Sub-Account.

		• 3 Fixed Account Options (which credit interest at rates we guarantee)

		• 39 Variable Sub-Accounts investing in Portfolios offering professional money management by these investment advisers:

4 PROSPECTUS


SPECIAL SERVICES		For your convenience, we offer these special services:

		• AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

		• AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

		• DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

		• SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

INCOME PAYMENTS		You can choose fixed income payments, variable income payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your income payments in one of the following ways:

		• life income with guaranteed payments

		• a “joint and survivor” life income with guaranteed payments

		• guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30 years)

DEATH BENEFITS		If you or the ANNUITANT (if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person) die before the PAYOUT START DATE, we will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II.

TRANSFERS		Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract value (“CONTRACT VALUE”) among the investment alternatives, with certain restrictions. Transfers to a GUARANTEE PERIOD of the Fixed Account must be at least $50. We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each “Contract Year,” which we measurefrom the date we issue your Contract or a Contract anniversary (“CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY”).

WITHDRAWALS		You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date.

		In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. Full or partial withdrawals are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT also may apply.

5 PROSPECTUS

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS

The Contract basically works in two ways. First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for retirement because you can invest in up to 42 investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “ACCUMULATION PHASE” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “ISSUE DATE”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/ or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in any of the 3 Fixed Account Options, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the 39 Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.

Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/ or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “INCOME PLANS”) described on page 23. You receive income payments during what we call the “PAYOUT PHASE” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.

The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “ACCUMULATION UNIT.” Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE”. Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund. Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account’s finances, please refer to the Variable Account’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I, which include financial information giving effect to the Consolidation on a pro forma basis, also appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS

AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed information.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our home office. We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “VALUATION DATES.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time) on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.

12 PROSPECTUS

RIGHT TO CANCEL

You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer period should your state require it. You may return your contract by delivering it or mailing it to us. If you exercise this “RIGHT TO CANCEL,” the Contract terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to return a greater amount to you.

If your Contract is qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will refund the greater of any purchase payments or the Contract Value.

CONTRACT VALUE

ACCUMULATION UNITS

To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase or transfer payment you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for theVariable Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account will rise or fall to reflect:

15 PROSPECTUS

THE PORTFOLIOS ARE NOT DEPOSITS, OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA Fixed Account. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36 months of payment. At the end of 36 months, any nominal amounts remaining will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. No transfers are permitted into the DCA Fixed Account.

For each purchase payment, the first transfer from the Short Term DCA Fixed Account must occur within one month of the date of payment. If we do not receive an allocation from you within one month of the date of payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the money market Variable Sub-Account in equal monthly installments using the longest transfer period being offered at the time the purchase payment is made. Transferring Account Value to the money market Variable Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described on page 20.

If you discontinue the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option before the end of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in Short Term DCA Fixed Account to the money market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term DCA Fixed Account.

16 PROSPECTUS

of the guaranteed rate. We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your representative or Allstate Life customer service at 1-800-755-5275.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.

You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment(s). Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option.

THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW A PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATED TO A GUARANTEED PERIOD WOULD GROW, GIVEN AN ASSUMED GUARANTEE PERIOD AND ANNUAL INTEREST RATE:


Purchase Payment	$	10,000
Guarantee Period		5 years
Annual Interest Rate		4.50	%

TOTAL INTEREST CREDITED DURING GUARANTEE PERIOD = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)

17 PROSPECTUS

Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or

2)	Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or

Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Withdrawals of earnings are treated as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment also will apply when you apply amounts currently invested in a Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless applied during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires). A Market Value Adjustment may apply in the calculation of the Settlement Value described in the “Death Benefit Amount” section below. We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:

•

within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 21,

•

that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 22,

•

to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or

•

a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after continuing the Contract.

The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

18 PROSPECTUS

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS

TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to the Short-Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess of 12 per Contract Year. All transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on any given day counts as one transfer.

If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.

We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.

TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE

TELEPHONE TRANSFERS

We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.

MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING

While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, not all market timing or excessive trading is identifiable or preventable.

19 PROSPECTUS

Imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it first occurs. To the extent that such trading activity occurs prior to detection and the imposition of trading restrictions, the portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.

TRADING LIMITATIONS

We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, or to refuse any transfer request, if:

•

In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:

•

the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;

•

whether the manager of the underlying portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the portfolio; and

•

the investment objectives and/or size of the Sub-account underlying portfolio.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

Example:

Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and use the money to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.

The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

20 PROSPECTUS

EXPENSES

As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE

•

total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or

•

all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.

In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05% of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts (1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, 1.49% if you selected the Enhanced Death and Income Combination Benefit Rider, and 1.55% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II). The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II, to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options. We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE

TRANSFER FEE

We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The charge declines to 0% on the last day of each contract year over a 6 year period that begins on the day we receive your payment. Beginning on January 1, 2004, if you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of this “FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT” are not carried forward to future Contract Years. We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal. We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:

•

on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate income payments to be received for a specified period;

•

on the death of the Contract Owner, or the Annuitant if the Contract Owner is not a natural person (unless the Settlement Value is used to determine the death benefit);

•

withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or

21 PROSPECTUS

•

withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.

We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty and a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.

1.	You or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, are confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date;

2.	You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s stay at the long term care facility or hospital; and

3.	A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract).

TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if:

1.	you or the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not a natural person) are first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

2.	you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.

1.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;

2.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, receive unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a result of that unemployment; and

3.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, claim this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of unemployment compensation.

PREMIUM TAXES

DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES

We are not currently maintaining a provision for such taxes. In the future, however, we may establish a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account. We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” Section beginning on page 32.

OTHER EXPENSES

22 PROSPECTUS

Portfolios. For a summary of current estimates of maximum and minimum amounts for those charges and expenses, see page 8. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal charge and premium taxes. Ifou have the opportunity to name the investment alternatives) from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro rata from the investment alternatives according to the value of your investments therein.

Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:

1.	The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

2.	An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or

3.	The SEC permits delay for your protection.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even exhaust the Contract Value. Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal. We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.

MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

INCOME PAYMENTS

PAYOUT START DATE

You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The “PAYOUT START DATE” is the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be:

•

at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

•

no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.

23 PROSPECTUS

INCOME PLANS

•

fixed income payments;

•

variable income payments; or

•

a combination of the two.

The three Income Plans are:

INCOME PLAN 3 - GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30 YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. You may elect to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any mortality risk.

We may make other Income Plans available.

If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider or the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II, you may be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value to an Income Plan. You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account to fixed income payments. We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the amount available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:

•

terminate the Contract and pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value

24 PROSPECTUS

Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen; or

•

reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20.

VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.

FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:

1.	adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;

2.	deducting any applicable premium tax; and

3.	applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.

CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is appropriate.

DEATH BENEFITS

DEATH OF OWNER

1.	If your spouse is the sole surviving Contract Owner or, in the absence of any surviving Contract Owner, is the sole Beneficiary:

(a)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of your spouse; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse; or

(iii)

over the life of your spouse with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse.

25 PROSPECTUS

(c)	If your spouse does not elect one of these options, the Contract will continue in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the following conditions apply:

The Contract Value of the continued Contract will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account. The excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-accounts as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-account. Within 30 days of the date the Contract is continued, your surviving spouse may choose one of the following transfer alternatives without incurring a transfer fee:

(i)	transfer all or a portion of the excess among the Variable Sub-accounts;

(ii)	transfer all or a portion of the excess into the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period; or

(iii)

transfer all or a portion of the excess into a combination of Variable Sub-accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account.

Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in the Contract.

The surviving spouse may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment.

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the Death Benefit of the continued Contract will be as defined in the Death Benefit provision.

Only one spousal continuation is allowed under the Contract.

2.	If the new Contract Owner is not your spouse but is a living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income Payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of the new Contract Owner; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner; or

(iii)

over the life of the new Contract Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner.

(c)

If the new Contract Owner does not elect one of the options above, then the new Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, the Contract Value will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the new Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to offer additional options upon the death of the Contract Owner.

3.	If the new Contract Owner is a corporation or other type of non-living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the new Contract Owner upon the death of the Contract Owner.

If any new Contract Owner is a non-living person, all new Contract Owners will be considered to be non-living persons for purposes of these provisions.

26 PROSPECTUS

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the following apply:

1.	If the Contract Owner is a living person, then the Contract will continue with a new Annuitant, who will be:

(a)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise

(b)	the youngest Beneficiary.

You may change the Annuitant before the Payout Start Date.

2.	If the Contract Owner is a non-living person:

(a)	The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the Contract Owner upon the death of the Annuitant.

Under any of these options, all ownership rights are available to the non-living Contract Owner from the date of the Annuitant’s death to the date on which the Death Proceeds are paid.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

A claim for a distribution on death must include Due Proof of Death. We will accept the following documentation as “Due Proof of Death”:

•

a certified copy of a death certificate,

•

a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or

•

any other proof acceptable to us.

DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS

We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the applicable death benefit as described above.

This right applies only for the purposes of determining the amount payable as Death Proceeds and in no way restricts when a claim may be filed.

DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:

1.	the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

2.	the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

3.	the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary.

The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:


(a)	=	is the withdrawal amount;

(b)	=	is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and

(c)	=	is the Contract Value on the Death Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments or withdrawals made since that Anniversary.

27 PROSPECTUS

OPTIONAL RIDERS

We offer two optional riders: an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II. You may elect to add either or no Rider to your Contract; you may not add both. If you elect an optional Rider, we will charge you a higher mortality and expense risk charge. We may discontinue offering either or both of these Riders at any time. The benefits under these Riders are described below.

Before September 22, 2000, we offered the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider. We no longer offer it with this Contract. However, it also is described below for the convenience of Contract Owners who purchased it when it was available.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

You may elect the enhanced Death Benefit Rider if the oldest Contract Owner and Annuitant are no older than age 80 as of the date we receive the completed application, or a written request to add the Rider.

The enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any state nonforfeiture laws that govern the Contract.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT A.

At issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is equal to the initial purchase payment. After issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is the greatest of the Anniversary Values as of the date we determine the death benefit. The “Anniversary Value” is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary, increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary. The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by

(b),	and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	= the most recently calculated Enhanced Death Benefit A.

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT B.

The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total purchase payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below. Each purchase payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of:

•

the date we determine the death benefit, or

•

the first day of the month following the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant’s 85th birthday.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	= the most recently calculated Enhanced Death Benefit B.

ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER. (for Contracts issued

before September 22, 2000)

The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is as described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”

The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract owner elects a Payout Start Date that:

•

is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and

•

is prior to the Annuitant’s 90th Birthday.

•

10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or

•

5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.

If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.

28 PROSPECTUS

ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER II. (for Contracts issued on or after September 22, 2000). Instead of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, you may choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II. The Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II may not be available in all states.

The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II is as described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”

The guaranteed income benefit amount is determined by applying the enhanced income benefit amount less any applicable taxes to the guaranteed rates for the Income Plan you elect. The Income Plan you elect must satisfy the conditions described below.

The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract Owner elects a Payout Start Date that:

•

is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and

•

occurs during the 30 day period following a Contract Anniversary.

•

10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or

•

5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.

You must elect to receive fixed income payments, which will be calculated using the appropriate guaranteed income payment table provided in your Contract.

If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time. If you expect to apply your Contract Value to variable income payment options or to current annuity payment rates then in effect, electing the enhanced income benefit may not be appropriate.

The enhanced income benefit only applies to the determination of income payments under Income Plans in the circumstances described above. This is not a guarantee of Contract Value or investment performance. This benefit does not enhance the amounts you receive in partial withdrawal or surrenders. If you surrender you Contract, you will not receive any benefit under this Rider.

ALLSTATE LIFE

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

29 PROSPECTUS

The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.

THE PORTFOLIOS

As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract Owner or anyone with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income payments has the voting interest. The payee’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.

THE CONTRACT

ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the Contracts and the Variable Account.

30 PROSPECTUS

We provide the following administrative services, among others:

•

issuance of the Contracts;

•

maintenance of Contract Owner records;

•

Contract Owner services;

•

calculation of unit values;

•

maintenance of the Variable Account; and

•

preparation of Contract Owner reports.

We will also provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.

LEGAL MATTERS

31 PROSPECTUS

TAXES

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. ALLSTATE LIFE MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION INVOLVING A CONTRACT.

TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL

TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:

•

the Contract Owner is a natural person,

•

the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and

•

Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes.

32 PROSPECTUS

concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.

DISTRIBUTION AT DEATH RULES. In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:

•

TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:

•

if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a full withdrawal, or

•

if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract.

33 PROSPECTUS

The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made under an immediate annuity, or

•

attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

34 PROSPECTUS

TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS

•

Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Section 408(b) of the Code;

•

Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;

•

Simplified Employee Pension (SEP IRA) under Section 408(k) of the Code;

•

Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) under Section 408(p) of the Code; and

•

Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code.

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements.

In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death,

•

attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or

•

made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000).

Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the qualified plans listed above.

35 PROSPECTUS

•

made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2,

•

made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability,

•

made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary,

•

made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs),

•

made pursuant to an IRS levy,

•

made for certain medical expenses,

•

made to pay for health insurance premiums while unemployed (applies only for IRAs),

•

made for qualified higher education expenses (applies only for IRAs), and

•

made for a first time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit and applies only for IRAs).

During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.

You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.

•

required minimum distributions, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or,

•

a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or,

•

hardship distributions.

Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a U.S. residence address and taxpayer identification number.

36 PROSPECTUS

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.

ANNUITIES HELD BY INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (COMMONLY KNOWN AS CUSTODIAL IRAS). Internal Revenue Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Individual Retirement Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the Annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account.

1)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account is the owner of the annuity and has the right to the death proceeds otherwise payable under the annuity contract;

2)	The deceased Annuitant was the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account;

3)	We receive a complete request for settlement for the death of the Annuitant; and

4)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account provides us with a signed certification of the following:

(a)	The Annuitant’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Individual Retirement Account;

(b)	The Annuitant’s surviving spouse has elected to continue the Individual Retirement Account as his or her own Individual Retirement Account; and

(c)	The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account has continued the Individual Retirement Account pursuant to the surviving spouse’s election.

TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE LISTED IRAS (TRADITIONAL, ROTH, SEP, OR SIMPLE), PLEASE REFER TO IRS PUBLICATION 590 AND YOUR COMPETENT TAX ADVISOR.

•

attains age 59 1/2,

•

•

becomes disabled, or

•

incurs a hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be distributed on account of hardship).

APPENDIX B MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to the end of the Guarantee Period.

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income payment request.*

Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.

The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:

.9 X [I-J] X N

Awithdrawal charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTalso may apply.

5 PROSPECTUS

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS

The Contract basically works in two ways.

First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for retirement because you can invest in up to 41 investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “ACCUMULATION PHASE” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “ISSUE DATE”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in any of the three Fixed Account Options, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.

Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/ or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “INCOME PLANS”) described on page 24. You receive income payments during what we call the “PAYOUT PHASE” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.

The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.


Issue Date	Accumulation Phase	Payout Start Date	Payout Phase
You buy a Contract	You save for retirement	You elect to receive income payments or receive a lump sum payment	You can receive income payments for a set period	Or you can receive income payments for life

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “ACCUMULATION UNIT”. Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE.” Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund. Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account’s finances, please refer to the Variable Account’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Allstate Life and Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I, which include financial information giving effect to the Consolidation on a pro forma basis, also appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

PURCHASES

MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS

AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM

You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed information.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS

We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our home office. We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “VALUATION DATES.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m. Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.

11 PROSPECTUS

RIGHT TO CANCEL

If your Contract is qualified under Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will refund the greater of any purchase payments or the Contract Value.

CONTRACT VALUE

ACCUMULATION UNITS

To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Variable Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.

ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE

As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account will rise or fall to reflect:

•

changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and

•

INVEST. YOU BEAR THE INVESTMENT RISK THAT THE PORTFOLIOS MIGHT NOT MEET THEIR

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES. SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIOS ARE NOT DEPOSITS, OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY ANY BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER AGENCY.

VARIABLE INSURANCE PORTFOLIOS MAY NOT BE MANAGED BY THE SAME PORTFOLIO MANAGERS WHO MANAGE RETAIL MUTUAL FUNDS WITH SIMILAR NAMES. THESE PORTFOLIOS ARE LIKELY TO DIFFER FROM SIMILARLY NAMED RETAIL FUNDS IN ASSETS, CASH FLOW AND TAX MATTERS. ACCORDINGLY, THE HOLDINGS AND INVESTMENT RESULTS OF A VARIABLE INSURANCE PORTFOLIO CAN BE EXPECTED TO BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THE INVESTMENT RESULTS OF SIMILARLY NAMED RETAIL MUTUAL FUNDS.

15 PROSPECTUS

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS

We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA Fixed Account. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36 months of payment. At the end of 36 months, any nominal amounts remaining in this option will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. No transfers are permitted into the DCA Fixed Account.

For each purchase payment, the first transfer from the Short Term DCA Fixed Account must occur within one month of the date of payment. If we do not receive an allocation from you within one month of the date of payment, the payment plus associated interest will be transferred to the money market Sub-Account in equal monthly installments using the longest transfer period being offered at the time the purchase payment is made. Transferring Account Value to the money market Variable Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described on page 20.

You must transfer each purchase payment and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 12 months. At the end of the transfer period, any nominal amounts remaining in the Short Term DCA Fixed Account will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. If you discontinue the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option before the end of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in the Short Term DCA Fixed Account to the money market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term DCA Fixed Account.

We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we guarantee the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to either of these Options, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate. We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your representative or Allstate Life customer service at 1-800-755-5275.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.

You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for your most recent purchase payment(s). Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that you may allocate to this Option.

16 PROSPECTUS

THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE ILLUSTRATES HOW A PURCHASE PAYMENT ALLOCATED TO A GUARANTEED PERIOD WOULD GROW, GIVEN AN ASSUMED GUARANTEE PERIOD AND ANNUAL INTEREST RATE:


Purchase Payment	$	10,000

Contract Value at end of Contract Year									$	11,925.19
x (1 + Annual Interest Rate)										x 1.045

									$	12,461.82

TOTAL INTEREST CREDITED DURING GUARANTEE PERIOD = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)

Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or

2)	Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods;

17 PROSPECTUS

Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period, other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment also will apply when you apply amounts currently invested in a Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless applied during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires). A Market Value Adjustment may apply in the calculation of the Settlement Value described in the “Death Benefit Amount” section below. We also will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:

•

within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 21.

•

that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 21.

•

to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or

•

a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after continuing the Contract.

The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS

TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE

18 PROSPECTUS

If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the amount by a Market Value Adjustment.

We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.

TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE

TELEPHONE TRANSFERS

We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.

MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING

TRADING LIMITATIONS

We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, or to refuse any transfer request, if:

•

19 PROSPECTUS

In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:

•

the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request;

•

whether the manager of the underlying portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the portfolio; and

•

the investment objectives and/or size of the Sub-account underlying portfolio.

In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM

We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.

AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM

Example:

The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

20 PROSPECTUS

EXPENSES

As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.

CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE

•

total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or

•

all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.

In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE

We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05% of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts (1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, 1.49% if you selected the Enhanced Death and Income Combination Rider, and 1.55% if you select the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II). The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options. We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE

We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE

We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day we receive your payment. Beginning on January 1, 2004, if you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of this “FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT” are not carried forward to future Contract Years. We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid. For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal. We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:

•

on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate income payments to be received for a specified period;

•

on the death of the Contract Owner, or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person (unless the Settlement Value is used to determine the death benefit);

•

withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or

21 PROSPECTUS

•

withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.

We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 591/2 may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty and a Market Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.

1.	You or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, are confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date;

2.	You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s stay at the long term care facility or hospital; and

3.	A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract).

TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your Contract if:

1.	you or the Annuitant (if the Contract Owner is not a natural person) are first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

2.	you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.

1.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;

2.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, receive unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a result of that unemployment; and

3.	you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, claim this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of unemployment compensation.

PREMIUM TAXES

At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract Value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.

DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES

OTHER EXPENSES

22 PROSPECTUS

Portfolios. For a summary of current estimates of maximum and minimum amounts for those charges and expenses, see page 7. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.

ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable withdrawal charge and premium taxes. You have the opportunity to name the investment alternative(s) from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is specified, we will deduct your withdrawal pro rata from the investment alternatives according to the value of your investments therein.

In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable Sub-Account. If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to us. Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS

We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:

1.	The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

2.	An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or

3.	The SEC permits delay for your protection.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM

Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even exhaust the Contract Value. Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.

MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE

If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. Before terminating any Contract whose value has been previously reduced by withdrawals to less than $2,000, we will inform you in writing of our intention to terminate your Contract and give you at least 30 days in which to make an additional purchase payment to restore your Contract’s value to the contractual minimum of $2,000. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.

23 PROSPECTUS

INCOME PAYMENTS

PAYOUT START DATE

You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The “PAYOUT START DATE” is the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must be:

•

at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and

•

no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later.

INCOME PLANS

•

fixed income payments;

•

variable income payments; or

•

a combination of the two.

A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis”. Once the investment in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 591/2 may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.

The three Income Plans are:

INCOME PLAN 3 - GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30 YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. You may elect to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any mortality risk.

We may make other Income Plans available.

24 PROSPECTUS

Start Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account to fixed income payments. We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the amount available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:

•

reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20.

VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.

FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS

We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:

1.	adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;

2.	deducting any applicable premium tax; and

3.	applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are offering at that time.

CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is appropriate.

DEATH BENEFITS

DEATH OF OWNER

1.	If your spouse is the sole surviving Contract Owner or, in the absence of any surviving Contract Owner, is the sole Beneficiary:

(a)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	Your spouse may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

25 PROSPECTUS

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of your spouse; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse; or

(iii)

over the life of your spouse with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of your spouse.

(c)	If your spouse does not elect one of these options, the Contract will continue in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the following conditions apply:

The Contract Value of the continued Contract will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-accounts of the Variable Account. The excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-accounts as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-account. Within 30 days of the date the Contract is continued, your surviving spouse may choose one of the following transfer alternatives without incurring a transfer fee:

(i)	transfer all or a portion of the excess among the Variable Sub-accounts;

(ii)	transfer all or a portion of the excess into the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account and begin a new Guarantee Period; or

(iii)

transfer all or a portion of the excess into a combination of Variable Sub-accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account.

Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in the Contract.

The surviving spouse may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge or Market Value Adjustment.

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the Death Benefit of the continued Contract will be as defined in the Death Benefit provision.

Only one spousal continuation is allowed under the Contract.

2.	If the new Contract Owner is not your spouse but is a living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds paid out under one of the Income Plans (described in “Income Payments” above) subject to the following conditions:

The Payout Start Date must be within one year of your date of death. Income Payments must be payable:

(i)	over the life of the new Contract Owner; or

(ii)	for a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 50 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner; or

(iii)

over the life of the new Contract Owner with a guaranteed number of payments from 5 to 30 years but not to exceed the life expectancy of the new Contract Owner.

(c)

If the new Contract Owner does not elect one of the options above, then the new Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of your date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds, the Contract Value will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the new Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the new Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to offer additional options upon the death of the Contract Owner.

3.	If the new Contract Owner is a corporation or other type of non-living person:

(a)	The new Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

26 PROSPECTUS

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the new Contract Owner upon the death of the Contract Owner.

If any new Contract Owner is a non-living person, all new Contract Owners will be considered to be non-living persons for purposes of these provisions.

DEATH OF ANNUITANT

If the Annuitant who is not also the Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the following apply:

1.	If the Contract Owner is a living person, then the Contract will continue with a new Annuitant, who will be:

(a)	the youngest Contract Owner; otherwise

(b)	the youngest Beneficiary.

You may change the Annuitant before the Payout Start Date.

2.	If the Contract Owner is a non-living person:

(a)	The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum; or

(b)

If the Contract Owner does not elect the option above, then the Contract Owner must receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the Annuitant’s date of death. On the date we receive the complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds the Contract Value under this option will be the Death Proceeds. Unless otherwise instructed by the Contract Owner, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the money market Variable Sub-Account. Henceforth, the Contract Owner may make transfers (as described in “Transfers During the Payout Phase” above) during this 5 year period.

The new Contract Owner may not make additional purchase payments to the Contract under this election. Withdrawal Charges will be waived during this 5 year period.

We reserve the right to make additional options available to the Contract Owner upon the death of the Annuitant.

Under any of these options, all ownership rights are available to the non-living Contract Owner from the date of the Annuitant’s death to the date on which the Death Proceeds are paid.

DUE PROOF OF DEATH

A claim for a distribution on death must include Due Proof of Death. We will accept the following documentation as “Due Proof of Death”:

•

a certified copy of a death certificate,

•

a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, or

•

any other proof acceptable to us.

DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS

DEATH PROCEEDS

We reserve the right to extend, on a non-discriminatory basis, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the applicable death benefit as described above.

This right applies only for the purposes of determining the amount payable as Death Proceeds and in no way restricts when a claim may be filed.

DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT

Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:

1.	the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

2.	the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or

3.	the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary.

27 PROSPECTUS

The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where:

(a)	= is the withdrawal amount;

(b)	= is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and

is the Contract Value on the Death Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any prior purchase payments (or withdrawals) made since that Anniversary.

We will determine the value of the death benefits as of the end of the Valuation Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.

OPTIONAL RIDERS

ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER

You may elect the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider if the oldest Contract Owner and Annuitant are no older than age 80 as of the date we receive the completed application or written request to add the Rider.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= is the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	= is the most recently calculated Enhanced Death Benefit A.

•

the date we determine the death benefit, or

•

the first day of the month following the oldest Contract Owner’s or, if the Contract Owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant’s, 85th birthday.

The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:

(a)	= the withdrawal amount,

(b)	= is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and

(c)	= is the most recently calculated Enhanced Death Benefit B.

ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER. (FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED BEFORE SEPTEMBER 22, 2000) The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider is as described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”

The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract owner elects a Payout Start Date that:

•

is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and

•

is prior to the Annuitant’s 90th Birthday.

28 PROSPECTUS

•

10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or

•

5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.

If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.

ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER II (FOR CONTRACTS ISSUED ON OR AFTER SEPTEMBER 22, 2000). Instead of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, you may choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II. The Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II may not be available in all states.

The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider II is as described above under “Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.”

The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract Owner elects a Payout Start Date that:

•

is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and

•

occurs during the 30 day period following a Contract Anniversary.

•

10 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is 80 or less on the date the amount is applied; or

•

5 years, if the youngest Annuitant’s age is greater than 80 on the date the amount is applied.

You must elect to receive fixed income payments, which will be calculated using the appropriate Guaranteed Income Payment table provided in your Contract.

The enhanced income benefit only applies to the determination of income payments under Income Plans in the circumstances described above. This benefit does not guarantee Contract Value or investment performance. This benefit does not enhance the amounts you receive in partial withdrawal or surrenders. If you surrender your Contract, you will not receive any benefit under this Rider.

ALLSTATE LIFE

THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT

Allstate Life established the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I in 1999. The Contracts were previously issued through the Glenbrook Life Multi-

29 PROSPECTUS

Manager Variable Account. Effective January 1, 2005, Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account and Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Separate Account A combined with Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I and consolidated duplicative Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in the same Portfolio (the “Consolidation”). The Accumulation Unit Values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation.We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.

The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to the end of the Guarantee Period.

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income payment request.*

Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.

The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:

.9 X [I - J] X N

UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment to this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(2) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(3) That each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 99(b)

EXPERTS

The financial statements, and the related financial statement schedules of Allstate Life Insurance Company, incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from the Allstate Life Insurance Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is incorporated herein by reference. Such financial statements and financial statement schedules have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and June 30, 2014 and 2013 which is incorporated herein by reference, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their reports included in Allstate Life Insurance Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not “reports” or a “part” of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
