group life insurance
Group life insurance programs designed to offer affordable coverage to a natural group, such as employees of an employer or members of an association and their families. A single contract is provided for the entire group which outlines the standard benefits, terms and provisions that apply to all members of the group. Normally the life insurance benefits offered are based on the compensation earned by the individual member. Most of the group life insurance programs also offer the members the ability to convert to other permanent, whole or term life products upon termination of employment. Individual certificates are usually issued to the members to verify that they are covered.
