Dictionary of Insurance Terms: group term life insurance
group term life insurance
one-year coverage that is renewable at the end of each year. Since the group plan is subject to experience rating, the premium rate upon renewal is based on such factors as the loss record (death) of the group and range of employee ages. All employees are insured with term life insurance. Realistically, coverage is temporary because on termination of employment, the employee usually does not convert group term to individual permanent insurance because the conversion is at a higher attained age rate.
