BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES--Life Insurance--Term Insurance Conversion Rates

Hardin-Simmons University pays for employees to have a term life insurance in an amount equal to their annual pay.  For example, if you annual pay is $20,000, then you have $20,000 in term life insurance.  The insurance increases as your pay increases with some rounding of dollars.  If you decide to leave Hardin-Simmons and desire to retain this insurance, you will need to convert the term insurance to a permanent individual policy.  Permanent life insurance policies are more expensive than term life policies and the conversion rates are provided below.  However, the advantage of converting your term life insurance to whole life insurance is that you do not have to prove that your are insurable and you lock in your rates.  The coverage is guaranteed.  

If you are interested in this conversion, contact Mr. John Snapp at Perry Hunter Hall within 30 days of your last day of employment at Hardin-Simmons.  His phone number is (325)6736414.
