Life and AD&D coverages are provided under a group insurance policy (Policy Form GPNP99 or G2130-S) issued to your employer by MetLife.

Should your life insurance coverage terminate for reasons other than non-payment of premium, you may convert it to a MetLife individual permanent policy without providing medical evidence of insurability. This summary provides an overview of your plan’s benefits. These benefits are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract between MetLife and your employer. Specific details regarding these provisions can be found in the certificate. If you have additional questions regarding the Life Insurance program underwritten by MetLife, please contact your benefits administrator or MetLife.
