Certificate of Coverage and Riders

What is Lifetime Life Insurance?

Lifetime Life Insurance is designed to provide coverage for your lifetime. This group term life insurance is employee-paid and will pay a benefit to the beneficiary if you pass away while coverage is active and it can complement traditional employer-sponsored term insurance that may be in-force. A vested term insurance benefit is available if premium has been paid for a certain period of time known as the “vesting period”.

How can Lifetime Life Insurance help?

Even if you already own conventional term life insurance, it may not be enough to protect your family or meet their future financial needs, especially given the rising costs of living and other expenses. Lifetime Life Insurance complements conventional term life insurance and can provide a lifetime of comprehensive protection for you and your family, so coverage will be there when you need it – during your working years and beyond.


Premiums never increase for the life of the policy as long as the required premium payments are met.1 You can also take this coverage with you if you are separated from service with your employer.

1Guaranteed rate applies to base life insurance coverage. Premiums for the long-term rider may not be fixed and may increase.

Why should I enroll through my employer?

Premium amounts are deducted from your paycheck, so you don’t have to worry about paying another bill.

Can I purchase coverage for my spouse and child?

Coverage is available for your eligible spouse and your eligible children through age 25* as defined in the certificate of insurance and riders, if employee coverage is elected.

*Standard ages may vary.

Do I need to provide health information?

Depending on the amount of coverage you select or the offer to your group, you may need to provide evidence of insurability on yourself, your spouse and/or your children. When evidence of insurability is required, the insurance company will need to approve it before coverage becomes effective.

John and Maria spent their lives building their careers, raising two boys, and participating in community organizations. The year before they were both set to retire, Maria was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Fortunately, John had purchased Lifetime Life Insurance for himself and Maria years ago. After Maria passed, John was able to use Maria’s life insurance benefit to cover her funeral expenses and pay off the remaining mortgage. There was even enough money for John to invest in retirement.

Total Benefit $75,000
Funeral Expenses $8,000
Remaining Mortgage $40,000
Remaining Benefit Amount $27,000

This is shown as an example only. It assumes a death benefit in the amount shown. Benefit amount and actual results may vary.
