Group Life Insurance

Group life insurance provides essential financial protection for employees’ families at a fraction of the cost of individual policies. This foundational benefit offers peace of mind for employees while demonstrating your company’s commitment to their financial wellbeing. With Actsphere’s group life insurance solutions, your business can provide valuable death benefit protection that enhances your benefits package and helps attract and retain quality employees. We compare options from several carriers to find perfect coverage at exceptional prices—all through one trusted insurance company that treats your business like family.

Critical Group Life Insurance Mistakes That Could Impact Your Employees—And How Actsphere Protects You

Most employers make significant mistakes with group life coverage without realizing it. At Actsphere Insurance Group, we help you avoid these costly oversights.

Providing Inadequate Coverage Amounts

Many employers offer only the traditional 1x salary benefit, which falls far short of most families’ actual needs. We help design plans with appropriate benefit levels and supplemental options that provide meaningful protection.

Overlooking Portability and Conversion Rights

Without these features, employees lose valuable coverage when they leave your company. Our plans include robust continuation options that provide long-term security regardless of employment changes.

Neglecting Supplemental Life Options

Basic employer-paid coverage meets minimal needs, but employees often want additional protection. Without voluntary supplemental options, employees may remain underinsured or purchase less affordable individual policies elsewhere.

Missing Living Benefit Opportunities

Modern group life plans can include valuable accelerated death benefits for terminal illness, critical illness, or long-term care needs. Without these features, employees may face financial hardship even before death occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much group life insurance should we offer employees?
Most employers provide a base benefit of 1-2 times annual salary as employer-paid coverage. Supplemental voluntary options should allow employees to purchase additional coverage up to 5-6 times salary to meet individual needs.
What is the difference between basic and supplemental group life insurance?
Basic life is typically employer-paid, covers all eligible employees at a guaranteed issue amount, and provides foundational protection. Supplemental life is usually employee-paid through payroll deduction, allows employees to select their desired coverage amount, and may require evidence of insurability for higher amounts.
Is group life insurance taxable to employees?
Employer-paid coverage up to $50,000 is tax-free to employees, while the cost of employer-provided coverage exceeding $50,000 creates imputed income. Employee-paid supplemental coverage has no tax implications since it’s purchased with after-tax dollars.
What happens to group life insurance when an employee leaves the company?
Most group policies offer portability (continuing the term coverage by paying premiums directly to the carrier) or conversion (converting to an individual permanent policy without evidence of insurability). These options allow employees to maintain valuable life insurance protection regardless of employment changes.
How does accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage work?
AD&D pays an additional benefit equal to the life insurance amount if death occurs due to a covered accident. It also provides scheduled benefits for dismemberment or loss of sight, speech, or hearing, typically ranging from 25% to 100% of the full benefit depending on the specific loss.
Can we offer different amounts of coverage to different employee classes?
Yes, employers can create distinct coverage classes based on objective business criteria such as job category, compensation level, or management status. Each class can have different benefit amounts or calculation methods, provided the plan meets non-discrimination requirements.
What medical underwriting is required for group life insurance?
Basic group life typically offers guaranteed issue coverage up to specified limits with no medical questions or exams required. Supplemental voluntary coverage usually provides guaranteed issues during initial enrollment up to certain limits, with evidence of insurability required for higher amounts or late enrollments.
How do accelerated death benefits work?
Accelerated death benefits allow terminally ill employees to receive a portion of their life insurance benefit while still living, typically 50-75% of the face amount. This valuable feature helps cover medical expenses and other costs during a terminal illness, providing financial support when it’s needed most.
How often should we review our group life insurance program?
Conduct a comprehensive review annually, ideally 2-3 months before renewal, to ensure rates remain competitive and plan design meets changing workforce needs. Additionally, review your plan whenever significant company changes occur, such as mergers, acquisitions, major hiring initiatives, or benefit strategy shifts.
