WHY INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE?
Your Group Life Insurance terminates when you are no longer an employee of Cobb County Government. In addition, the amounts of coverage available to you and your family are limited under the Group Insurance plan.
Employees can enroll in an Individual Life Insurance plan insured by Unum, offering Term Life Insurance, as well as Whole Life Insurance, for yourself and family members. When you retire or terminate employment with Cobb County Government, you simply pay the same premium rate direct to the company rather than on payroll deductions.
10 YEAR INDIVIDUAL TERM INSURANCE
The 10/10/YRT plan design is composed of two consecutive 10-year level premium periods. The first 10-year guaranteed level premium period is based on the insured individual’s age at policy issue. The second 10-year guaranteed level premium period reflects rates for the insured individual’s attained age at the 11th year. The second 10-year period is not available beyond an original issue age of 60. At the end of the level period, the contract moves to a Yearly Renewable Term (YRT) phase, which also provides guaranteed rates. The policy is guaranteed renewable to age 95.
