Group Term Life Insurance provides your beneficiaries with a payment they can use on anything they’d like if you pass away during a specific period of time (known as a “term”). For a complete description of benefits, exclusions and limitations, refer to your certificate of insurance and riders.
Your Group Term Life Insurance includes the following benefits:
Accelerated Death Benefit
If you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with a limited life expectancy, you may receive a portion of your death benefit while still living. Receipt of the accelerated benefit may be taxable, or may adversely affect your eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits. You should consult your personal tax advisor to find out the impact of this benefit.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
If you are severely injured or pass away due to a covered accident, you or your beneficiary will receive a separate benefit that can be used any way you choose.
Conversion
You may convert your life insurance coverage to an individual Whole Life Insurance policy when you leave your employer or lost your eligibility for coverage under the employer’s group policy.

Real Life Example
Mark and Becky’s lives were busy with work, sports and three children. Mark was the breadwinner and Becky was a stay-at-home mom. Mark had been suffering from recurring headaches and was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Fortunately for their family, Mark had Group Term Life Insurance through his employer. When Mark passed away, Becky was able to use the life insurance benefit to pay for the remaining home mortgage and cover Mark’s funeral expenses. There was even enough money to support the family while she transitioned to being a single working parent.
