A group life conversion privilege generally allows the insured to convert terminated group coverage to an individual policy within approximately 31 days, commonly expressed in exam language as “within 1 month of termination.” New Jersey public employee group life conversion guidance states that coverage continues for the next 31 days after termination of employment or expiration of the insured period, and conversion may be made during that period without medical examination. The converted policy is generally an individual permanent life policy customarily offered by the insurer, not term insurance. Therefore, option B is wrong. Option C is wrong because a major purpose of the conversion privilege is that no evidence of insurability or medical examination is required when conversion is timely exercised. Option A is wrong because premiums for the converted individual policy are based on the insured’s attained age at conversion, not the age when first covered under the group plan.
