1 To the maturity age specified in the certificate. In some program designs, if your plan sponsor replaces MetLife GUL with another group life insurance plan or otherwise terminates the MetLife group contract, employees’ coverage may also be terminated, even after separation from employment or retirement. Rates may increase if you leave your employer for reasons other than retirement or are no longer eligible under the group and choose to continue your coverage. If you have ported or otherwise continued your coverage after retirement or separation from employment and the plan sponsor later terminates the group policy, cost of insurance rates may increase as a result of such termination.
2 Earnings within your GUL coverage grow income tax- free while the policy stays in force. Please consider your investment time horizon, tax rates, and the effect of fees and expenses, including any premium expense, when evaluating the benefit of GUL tax deferral. See your Certificate for complete information.
