Life Insurance:
Life insurance is terminated on your retirement date, as reported on the transition form. If you would like to convert to an individual policy, review the attached Life Conversion documents to make this request, Guardian will handle this process entirely. You have 31 days after your group life insurance ends to do this. You will not be asked for proof that you’re insurable. (Group number: 0533436)
