ASSOCIATE LIFE INSURANCE DETAILS

The following is a further description of some of the specific elements of your Life Insurance plan. If you have further questions about the coverages offered under each option contact your Human Resources department.

Beneficiary
  • You may change your beneficiary at any time by written notice to your Employer, subject to any policy or legal limitations.
Conversion Privilege
  • If your employment terminates on or prior to your sixty-fifth birthday, you may, within thirty-one days of such termination, convert all or part of your insurance coverage, with the exception of waiver of premiums, into an individual life insurance contract, for an amount not exceeding your amount of coverage under the group policy, without having to provide evidence of insurability.
  • However, the amount of insurance to be converted may not exceed the lesser of a) two hundred thousand dollars and b) the difference between the amount of insurance in force on your life under this group insurance plan and the amount of insurance provided by any other group insurance contract for which you are eligible at the time of exercising your conversion privilege.
Evidence of Insurability
  • This form is required on amounts exceeding $700,000 on your initial enrollment and increased amounts on subsequent re-enrollments.
Life Options
  • Rates are based on a combination of a blended rate negotiated by the Company and your age, sex and whether you are a smoker or non-smoker. A non-smoker is defined as one who has totally abstained from smoking any form of tobacco or cannabis for a one-year period immediately preceding the date of non-smoker status.
  • Misstatement of non-smoker status constitutes fraud. No benefit is payable if you commit fraud, regardless of the cause of death.
Maximum Benefit
  • The maximum coverage amount is $1,000,000.
Waiver of Premium
  • If you become totally disabled for at least 6 consecutive months before attaining age 65, Maritime Life will waive the payment of your life insurance premiums.
  • Waiver of premium terminates at age 65 or you are no longer totally disabled.
Termination of Benefit
  • Coverage terminates at age 65 or earlier retirement.
