Portability and Conversion
At the time an employee leaves the city or otherwise becomes ineligible for City benefits, that employee may be eligible for portability or conversion of their life insurance.
Conversion
Converts life insurance into a whole life policy which can generate cash value after being in force for a number of years.
Conversion locks you into a specific rate, based on your age at the time you convert. The younger you are at the time of conversion, the lower your rate.
Conversion amounts do not contain age reductions for the insurance coverage you convert.
You may convert all or part of your basic (employer paid) life insurance.
You may convert all or part of your voluntary (employee paid) life insurance.
Spouse coverage can be converted.
Portability
There is no cash value associated with a ported policy of coverage. The policy continues to be a term life policy.
Portability rates change (rise) as you age, in five year increments. For example, age 45-49, age 50-54, etc.
Portability amounts do not contain age reductions for insurance coverage you port.
You may NOT port your basic coverage.
You may port all or part of your voluntary life insurance.
Spouse coverage can be ported.
Individual Term Life
American Fidelity offers an Individual Term Life Insurance policy to help with your financial needs for your short-term and long-term goals.
How the Plan Works
Individual Term Life Insurance is a death benefit protection with no cash accumulation feature. The policy is initially written for a 10, 20 or 30-year term period but may be renewed at the insured’s option for the same level renewal period depending upon the term chosen.
The last level renewal period is no later than age 70 for the 10-year term policy and age 60 for the 20-year term policy. Thereafter, premiums are renewable annually up to age 90. The 30-year term policy is renewable annually after the initial 30-year term period up to age 90. Renewal rates will be based on the insured’s age at the time of renewal.
