to Prospectuses dated May 1, 2013

This Supplement should be read and retained with the Prospectus for your Annuity. This Supplement is intended to update certain information in the Prospectus for the Annuity you own and is not intended to be a prospectus or offer for any other Annuity listed here that you do not own. If you would like another copy of your current Prospectus, please call us at 1-888-PRU-2888. Effective July 29, 2013, this Supplement revises, and to the extent inconsistent therewith, replaces information contained in the Prospectuses dated May 1, 2013 for the variable annuity contracts listed above issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco” ) and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“PLNJ”). Certain terms used in this Supplement have special meanings. If a term is not defined in this Supplement, it has the meaning given to it in the Prospectus.

ANNUAL LIMITATION ON ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENTS FOR CONTRACTS WITH CERTAIN OPTIONAL LIVING BENEFITS

Except as noted below, effective July 29, 2013 and until further notice, for contracts with certain optional living benefits we are instituting a $50,000 annual limit on additional Purchase Payments submitted in any benefit year, after the first anniversary of the benefit effective date. It is important to note that the annual limit is based on your benefit year not a calendar year. This annual limit applies if you have elected one of the following optional benefits for the Annuities listed above:

·	Highest Daily Lifetime Income®
·	Spousal Highest Daily Lifetime Income®
·	Highest Daily Lifetime Income® with Lifetime Income Accelerator (LIA)

For Annuities issued in Oregon, this limitation does not apply and you may continue to make additional Purchase Payments to your Annuity.

Please note that while we are implementing this annual limitation at this time, we may further limit, suspend or reject any additional Purchase Payment at any time, but would do so only on a non-discriminatory basis. When making additional Purchase Payments, you should consider the fact that we may suspend, reject or limit additional Purchase Payments at some point in the future. If we decide to no longer impose or to change this limitation in the future, we will provide you with written notice.

This change has no effect on amounts that are already invested in your Annuity or on the optional benefit you selected. You will still be permitted to transfer your Account Value among the Investment Options available with your Annuity and optional benefit.

If you do not own one of the impacted benefits listed above, this limitation does not apply to you. Please note: any purchase payment suspension or restrictions previously instituted in connection with your optional benefit and current contract limits continue to apply.

For Annuities held by employer sponsored qualified retirement plans, the annual limitation on additional Purchase Payments described in this Supplement will be effective as of August 29, 2013. This extension does not apply to Annuities whose tax qualification is IRA, ROTH IRA, Custodial IRA/ROTH, Non-Qualified, SEP IRA, non-ERISA 403(b) and 457 plans and the $50,000 limit described above will be effective on July 29, 2013. If you currently participate in a salary reduction plan with your employer that would result in additional Purchase Payments of more than $50,000 each benefit year, and you have elected one of the applicable optional benefits listed above, please contact your employer to adjust your salary reduction program.

GENERAL IMPACT OF NEW ANNUAL LIMITATION

When we exercise our right to suspend, reject and/or place limitations on the acceptance of additional Purchase Payments, it may affect your ability to increase the future value of the Highest Daily Lifetime Income benefit and your Annuity's death benefit. Any increase in the values of these benefits through additional Purchase Payments will be limited to $50,000 each benefit year.

In addition, the new limitation on additional Purchase Payments may limit your ability to:

·	Receive Purchase Credits for new Purchase Payments if you own the Premier Retirement X Series variable annuity.
·	Utilize our 6 or 12 month DCA program.
·	Make scheduled payments directly from your bank account.

RETURN OF ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PAYMENTS

If an additional Purchase Payment that would cause Purchase Payments in any benefit year to exceed the annual limit is received by us, we will return the entire amount of the additional Purchase Payment.

IMPACT ON SCHEDULED PAYMENTS DIRECTLY FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

Any additional Purchase Payments scheduled to be made directly from your bank account will not be impacted if the total of such payments does not exceed $50,000 in any benefit year. If such payments would exceed $50,000 in any benefit year, your scheduled payment plan will be terminated before the additional Purchase Payment that would cause cumulative Purchase Payments in that benefit year to exceed $50,000 is submitted. You will then need to establish a new scheduled payment plan that does not exceed the annual limit.

For more information, contact your Financial Professional or the Prudential Annuity Service Center.

AST Herndon Large-Cap Value Portfolio

Investment Objective: maximum growth of capital by investing primarily in the value stocks of larger companies.

Principal Investment Policies:

The Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its assets in securities issued by large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are those included in the Russell 1000® Index. The Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of large capitalization companies. Equity securities include common stocks and securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, including warrants and rights. The Portfolio’s subadviser employs an investment strategy designed to maintain a portfolio of equity securities which approximates the market risk of those stocks included in the Russell 1000® Value Index, but which attempts to outperform the Russell 1000® Value Index through active stock selection. The size of the companies in the Russell 1000® Index will change with market conditions. Herndon Capital Management, LLC (Herndon Capital) begins with a target universe, the Russell 1000® Index, and screens out securities in a two-step process. First, Herndon Capital identifies value creating opportunities by screening for stocks with 30% or more upside potential based on fundamental analysis. Second, Herndon Capital screens for quality and liquidity. In terms of quality, Herndon Capital screens out stocks that have a Standard & Poor’s quality ranking lower than C. In terms of liquidity, Herndon Capital screens out stocks with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion. Next, Herndon Capital applies traditional fundamental analysis to analyze a company’s profitability, soundness, and growth through an investigation of trends from the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.

Once Herndon Capital has identified potential value creating opportunities within each sector, it uses the relative number of value creating opportunities to determine sector over- and under-weights. Sectors weights may vary and factors that may influence sector weights include relative valuation, relative performance and targeted sector exposure. Herndon Capital approaches stock selection in a bottom up fashion and applies a similar technique to sector selection by over- or underweighting sectors that it believes have the most attractive opportunities in aggregate.

V.	The following is hereby added to the section of the Prospectus entitled “How the Fund is Managed – Investment Subadvisers”:

Herndon Capital Management, LLC (Herndon Capital) is an institutional investment management firm specializing in large and mid capitalization equity strategies. Founded and registered with the SEC in 2001, the firm is an affiliate of Atlanta Life Financial Group (ALFG), a 108 year old financial services firm. The firm began managing assets in June 2002. As of March 31, 2013, there were $8.95 billion assets under management in its Large Cap Value strategy.

VI.	The section of the Prospectus entitled “How the Fund is Managed – Portfolio Managers – AST BlackRock Value Portfolio” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

AST Herndon Large-Cap Value Portfolio

The portfolio manager from Herndon Capital who will be primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio is Randell A. Cain Jr.

Randell A. Cain Jr. is the portfolio manager responsible for managing Herndon Capital’s Large Cap US Value Equity and Mid Cap US Value products. Mr. Cain is also one of the three portfolio managers responsible for managing the Large Cap US Core Equity product. Prior to joining Herndon Capital in June 2002, Mr. Cain spent 5 years at NCM Capital Management, LLC (NCM) managing large cap core equities while also analyzing the financial, basic material, energy, and utility sectors. In addition, from 2000-2002, he managed a $200 million large cap value portfolio at NCM. Mr. Cain’s experience includes equity and fixed income analysis at TradeStreet Investment Associates Inc.

C. The Investment Objectives/Policies table that appears under, “Investment Options,” in your Annuity Prospectus is modified as follows:

STYLE/ TYPE	INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES/POLICIES	PORTFOLIO ADVISOR/ SUBADVISOR
AST Funds
Asset Allocation	AST Advanced Strategies Portfolio: seeks a high level of absolute return by using traditional and non-traditional investment strategies and by investing in domestic and foreign equity and fixed income securities, derivative instruments and other investment companies. The Portfolio uses traditional and non-traditional investment strategies by investing in domestic and foreign equity and fixed income securities, derivative instruments and other investment companies. The asset allocation generally provides for an allotment of 60% of the Portfolio’s assets to a combination of domestic and international equity strategies and the remaining 40% of assets to a combination of U.S. fixed income, hedged international bond, and real return investment strategies. Quantitative Management Associates LLC allocates the assets of the Portfolio across different investment categories and subadvisors.	Brown Advisory LLC; Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P.; LSV Asset Management; Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO); Quantitative Management Associates LLC; T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.; William Blair & Company, LLC
Large-Cap Value	AST Herndon Large-Cap Value Portfolio (formerly AST BlackRock Value Portfolio): seeks maximum growth of capital by investing primarily in the value stocks of larger companies. The Portfolio pursues its objective, under normal market conditions, by investing at least 80% of the value of its assets in the equity securities issued by large capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies are those included in the Russell 1000® Index. The subadvisor employs an investment strategy designed to maintain a portfolio of equity securities which approximates the market risk of those stocks included in the Russell 1000® Value Index, but which attempts to outperform the Russell 1000® Value Index through active stock selection.	Herndon Capital Management, LLC
International Equity	AST International Growth Portfolio: seeks long-term capital growth. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of the value of its assets in securities of issuers that are economically tied to countries other than the United States. Although the Portfolio intends to invest at least 80% of its assets in the securities of issuers located outside the United States, it may at times invest in U.S. issuers and it may invest all of its assets in fewer than five countries or even a single country.	Jennison Associates LLC; Neuberger Berman Management LLC; William Blair & Company, LLC
Large-Cap Growth	AST Loomis Sayles Large-Cap Growth Portfolio (formerly AST Marsico Capital Growth Portfolio): seeks capital growth. Income realization is not an investment objective and any income realized on the Portfolio’s investments, therefore, will be incidental to the Portfolio’s objective. The Portfolio will pursue its objective by investing primarily in common stocks of large companies that are selected for their growth potential. Large capitalization companies are companies with market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Portfolio Manager employs a growth style of equity management that seeks to emphasize companies with sustainable competitive advantages, secular long-term cash flow growth returns on invested capital above their cost of capital and the ability to manage for profitable growth that can create long-term value for shareholders. The portfolio manager aims to invest in companies when they trade at a significant discount to the estimate of intrinsic value.	Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P.
International Equity	SP International Growth Portfolio: Seeks long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio invests primarily in stocks of large and medium-sized companies located in countries around the world. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 65% of its total assets in common stock of foreign companies operating or based in at least five different countries, which may include countries with emerging markets. The Portfolio may invest anywhere in the world, but generally not in the U.S. and will not concentrate investments in any particular industry. The Portfolio seeks companies that historically have had above average growth, improving profitability, strong balance sheets, management strength and strong market share for its products. The Portfolio also tries to buy such stocks at attractive prices in relation to their growth prospects.	Jennison Associates LLC; Neuberger Berman Management LLC; William Blair & Company, LLC
