Group Life Insurance — The Power of Coverage Through Work

If you’ve ever received life insurance through an employer or union, you’ve had group life insurance.

It’s a single contract that covers many people — often employees — under one umbrella.

How It Works

Group life insurance is usually yearly renewable term coverage, paid for by your employer (fully or partially). Coverage amounts often depend on your salary or job title.

If your employment ends, you typically have 31 days to convert your policy into an individual one — without needing to take a new medical exam.

The Advantages

  • Easy to get — no medical questions

  • Affordable rates, especially for large groups

  • Often includes accelerated benefits if you face a terminal illness

The Disadvantages

  • Coverage usually ends when employment ends

  • Benefits might not be enough for full family protection

  • You can’t customize much

Tip for retirees:

When you leave a job, ask your HR or benefits department about converting your group life policy — it can be a valuable bridge to permanent coverage.
