Study Notes
Group Term Life Insurance Features
- Conversion feature allows individuals to leave the group while still maintaining coverage without needing to prove insurability.
- Certificates of coverage are provided to employees under trustee group life policies.
Group Life Policy Provisions
- Key provisions of group life policies include conversion rights, grace periods, and incontestable periods but do not require accidental coverage.
- Insured individuals within a group contract receive a certificate instead of an individual policy.
Conversion Rights Upon Termination
- If an employee is terminated, group term life coverage may be converted to an individual term life policy, and policy proceeds will be paid if the employee dies during the conversion period.
Noncontributory Employee Group Life Insurance
- Noncontributory plans require all eligible employees to be covered with no evidence of insurability, and typically offer conversion rights.
- A false statement concerning noncontributory plans is that a minimum number of employees must participate.
Retirement and Policy Conversion
- Employees with significant tenure, such as 20 years, can convert their group life contracts to individual permanent policies at individual rates upon retirement.
Underwriting Principles
- An important underwriting principle mandates that all individuals in the group must be covered, ensuring inclusivity.
- The group must be formed for an inherent purpose beyond merely acquiring insurance.
Claims During Conversion
- In the event of an insured individual dying while converting their group life insurance, full benefits are payable under the master contract regardless of the conversion status.
Eligibility Requirements for Associations
- An association must be formed for a legitimate purpose other than acquiring insurance to qualify for a group life plan, rejecting the notion that the sole purpose can be to obtain insurance.
