Summary
Country office (CO)-based regular, open, term staff, and executive directors are eligible for Optional or Optional Dependent¡¯s Group Term Life Insurance. 'Late Enrollment' is required when staff have not elected the life insurance option within 60 days of entry on duty or a qualifying life event, for example, birth, death of dependent, divorce, marriage, legal adoption, establishment of a domestic partnership, dissolution of a domestic partnership.
Late Enrollment entails providing the Bank Group's life insurer with detailed medical information about the applicants. The insurance company then decides (based on their standard medical underwriting criteria) whether or not to approve the additional life insurance coverage amount. The decision is made solely by the Bank Group's life insurer. HR Operations has no influence or control over Late Enrollment decisions, and cannot overrule the life insurer.
