§ 23-83-118 - Conversion on termination of policy provision.

(a) Excluding an annuity policy, a group policy shall contain a provision that if the group policy terminates or is amended so as to terminate the insurance of any class of insured persons, every person insured thereunder at the date of the termination whose insurance terminates, including the insured dependent of a covered person, and who has been an insured for at least five (5) years prior to the termination date shall be entitled to have issued to him or her by the insurer an individual policy of life insurance, subject to the same conditions and limitations as are provided by § 23-83-117.

(b) However, the group policy may provide that the amount of the individual policy shall not exceed the smaller of:

(1) The amount of the person's life insurance protection ceasing because of the termination or amendment of the group policy, less the amount of any life insurance for which he or she is or becomes eligible under a group policy issued or reinstated by the same or another insurer within thirty-one (31) days after the termination; or

(2) Ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
