Sec. 38a-455. Assignment of incidents of ownership under group life policy.

      Sec. 38a-455. Assignment of incidents of ownership under group life policy. Any person whose life is insured under any policy of group life insurance is permitted to make an assignment of all or any part of his incidents of ownership in such insurance, including, without limitation, any right to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries thereunder and any right to have an individual policy issued upon termination either of employment or of said policy of group insurance, if applicable, provided the insurer or group policyholder may prohibit or restrict such assignment by appropriate policy provisions. Such an assignment, subject to the terms of the policy or agreement between the group policyholder and the insurer, is valid for the purpose of vesting in the assignee, in accordance with any provisions included therein as to the time at which it is to be effective, all rights, benefits and incidents of ownership conferred under the policy and shall entitle the insurer to deal with the assignee as the owner of such rights, benefits and incidents of ownership, provided the insurer shall not be affected by any assignment until he has received written notice thereof.
