Spouse Group Life Insurance
- Employee must be enrolled for Employee Supplemental Life to select Employee Group Supplemental life to cover his/her spouse.
- Spouse must be performing all the duties of his/her occupation or engaged in the normal activities for a person of like age and sex on the effective date.
- Employees not enrolling their spouse when first eligible, will be subject to providing evidence of insurability acceptable to The Hartford Insurance Company for all amounts.
- Spouse coverage is designed to protect your spouse while you are an employee and terminates at retirement or termination of employment
- Employees may convert the Spouse group supplemental life insurance coverage to a whole life individual policy issued by The Hartford Insurance Company within 31 days after termination of employment or eligibility, or reduction of Life Insurance due to age, pension, retirement, or policy discontinuance in whole or in part.
- Employees also have a Portability option that allows the group life insurance policy to continue at 100%, 75%, or 50% of the amount of life insurance coverage (Basic, Supplemental, or both) you had under your Group plan up to a maximum amount, generally $250,000 depending upon the provisions of your Group plan. The Portability policy provides group term coverage and is available to you provided you have not yet reached your Social Security full retirement age. The Portability option may also be available to your dependents if you carried dependent coverage under your employer’s group plan and if the group plan includes portability as an option for dependents. The amount of coverage you elect to port is reduced by 75% at age 65 and coverage terminates at age 75. Portability is not available if your employer is terminating the group plan. Additional restrictions may also apply. Premiums for a Life Portability policy may be higher than your Employer Group plan rates and rates increase every five years (years in which your age on your birthday ends in 5 or 0).
