Coverage Under The Group Policy
This Group Policy is issued to the Policyholder, whose acceptance is evidenced by the
signed Application for this Group Policy and payment of any required Premium. No
Coverage under this Group Policy shall take effect:
- unless it is approved by Us in writing;
- before the Group Policy Effective Date stated in the Declarations page; nor
- after the date We cease to offer such Coverage under this Group Policy as provided in
the Discontinuation Provisions.
Information To Be Furnished
The Policyholder and each Insured will furnish Us with all information, which We reasonably
require from time to time, related to the Coverage provided and any reporting requirements
imposed under applicable law. This includes information that will enable Us to determine
Premium and an Insured’s eligibility for Coverage.
The Policyholder will allow Us to inspect all documents, books and records which relate to
Premium, eligibility for Coverage, and an Insured’s Coverage under this Group Policy.
On, or prior to January 31st of each year, We will furnish copies of any information We are
required to report to the Internal Revenue Service. The information:
- will be given to each Insured where Benefits have been paid during the preceding year;
and
- will show the aggregate amount of Benefits paid to an Insured.
We may also prepare and report other information required by law or regulation.
Group Policy Changes
The Group Policy may be changed at any time by written agreement between the
Policyholder and Us without the consent of any other person. No change in this Group Policy
is valid until and unless approved in writing by one of Our officers. That approval must be
noted on, or attached to, this Group Policy. No agent or producer has the authority to change
the Group Policy or any Certificate or waive any of their provisions. We may amend this
Group Policy unilaterally, without Policyholder’s written consent, if:
- the Policyholder has made a written request to amend this Group Policy and We have
agreed to such amendment;
- the amendment is required so that this Group Policy will conform to any law, regulation or
ruling of:
- any State that affects this Group Policy or any Insured covered under the Group
Policy; or
- the federal government.
- We change the Premium in accordance with the terms of this Group Policy.
Persons Eligible for Coverage
A person who is a member of an Eligible Class defined in the Group Policy Eligibility
Schedule attached to this Group Policy can apply for the Coverage available for such Eligible
Class under this Group Policy. The person must apply for Coverage while a member of his
or her Eligible Class. We must be provided with proof of insurability, in a form and manner
We specify and that is satisfactory to Us.
If the information provided to Us by Policyholder or an Insured incorrectly identifies a person
as being eligible, We have the right to deny benefits or rescind that person’s Coverage as
provided for in the Clerical Error and Misstatement of Eligibility provision.
Coverage Limitation
We reserve the right to limit the initial Coverage amounts for an Insured based on Our
maximum issue limits in effect at the time the Certificate is issued, as determined from the
Benefits Master Schedule. These limitations may take into consideration other coverage the
Insured may have under another long term care insurance policy or certificate.
