Coverage may not be increased after a reduction.

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.

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.
