Group Life & AnnuitiesQuestion 684 of 716
A key advantage of the group life conversion privilege is that the departing employee:
a.Keeps the employer's premium contribution
b.Receives a lower premium than the group rate
c.Converts the group coverage to an individual term policy at no cost to the employee for the first full year
d.Does not have to prove insurability, which is valuable for someone in poor health
Explanation
The conversion privilege's main value is guaranteed insurability, no medical exam, which matters most for someone whose health has declined. The individual premium is usually higher, and the employer no longer contributes.
