Which of the following is NOT a required provision in group life policies free look

When does the free look period begin?

It will depend on your insurer, but the free look period typically begins on the day the policy is delivered. If you're unsure when your free look period begins, check with your insurer to make sure you know the provision's start and end date.

How long is the free look period for life insurance?

Free look periods for life insurance generally range from 10 to 30 days and are determined by the insurer and state. Each state has its required minimum for free look periods. Insurers may choose to set their free look period to the state-required minimum, or offer 30 days (or technically longer) in all states. All Fidelity Life policies through Progressive and eFinancial have a free look period of 30 days.

What's the purpose of a free look period?

After you go through the process of buying life insurance, the free look period gives you a risk-free window to review the terms and conditions of your life insurance policy with your insurance agent, attorney, or financial advisor to make sure it meets your specific needs. It also gives you a chance to cancel your policy without penalty for any reason — whether your financial situation shifts, or you simply change your mind. It's important for your life insurance policy to provide adequate protection for you and your family and that you understand how it works.

Why cancel a life insurance policy?

Within the free look provision, you can decide to cancel your life insurance policy for any reason, including these:

• It doesn't meet your needs. When you receive your finalized copy of the policy, you may find you aren't satisfied with some of its terms.
• Your financial situation changes. Maybe you received an inheritance and now need less coverage. Or perhaps your spouse lost their job, and you need more. If your finances change significantly, the policy you recently purchased may no longer be a good fit.
• You find better coverage. Life insurance rates vary between policy types and insurers. If you find the same (or better) coverage for a lower price, you might decide to go with a different policy.
• Your employee benefits change. If your employer provides a large enough life insurance policy, you may not need the supplemental coverage you recently purchased. But before canceling, make sure your employer-sponsored policy offers adequate protection to support your loved ones if you were to pass away.

Do you get a full refund if you cancel during the free look period?

Depending on your policy's terms, you can typically receive a full refund of the premium you've paid if you cancel your coverage during the free look period. More complex policies like variable life insurance might also refund any policy fees and account values, but this will depend on the insurer and policy terms.

How do you cancel your policy during the free look period?

If your policy includes a free look provision and you decide to cancel during the allowed period, contact your insurer as soon as you decide. Some insurance companies may require you to fill out paperwork to make the cancellation official.

Depending on your insurer and state, you may also be required to return your physical policy to the insurance company or agent who sold it to you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY

���� The premiums that you will pay for your policy may exceed the amount of your coverage (the face amount). You can find both the face amount and the annual premium for your policy. Look for the page labeled [Use the label the insurer uses on the page containing that information, for example, �Statement of Policy Cost and Benefit Information.�].

���� Usually, you can calculate how many years it will take before the premiums paid will be greater than the face amount. For an estimate, divide the face amount by the annual premium. Several factors may affect how many years this might take for your policy. These factors include not paying premiums when due, taking out a loan on the policy, surrendering your policy for cash, riders on your policy, changes in the face amount and the payment of dividends, if applicable.

���� Many factors will affect how much your life insurance costs. Some are your age and health, the face amount of the policy and the cost of a policy rider. You may be able to pay less for your life insurance if you answer health questions. You may also pay less if you pay your premium less often.

���� Ask your insurance agent or your insurance company if you have any questions about your premium, your coverage or anything else about your policy.

If You Change Your Mind . . .

���� You can get a full refund of premiums you have paid if you return your policy and cancel your coverage. You must do this within the number of days stated on the front page of your policy. To return your policy for a full refund, send it back to the agent or the company.

���� If you stop paying premiums or cancel your policy after the time that a full refund is available, you have specific rights. Ask your insurance agent or your insurance company about your rights.

Contact Information

���� If you have questions about your insurance policy, ask your agent or your insurance company. If your agent is not available, contact your insurance company at [provide telephone number (including toll-free number, if available), address and website (if available)].

���� 7. The provisions of this section do not apply to:

���� (a) A policy of group variable life insurance.

���� (b) A policy of group life insurance in which an illustration was provided that meets the requirements of NAC 686A.460 to 686A.479, inclusive.

��������� (2) A portion of the premium is paid by the group or through payroll deduction; and

��������� (3) Group underwriting or simplified underwriting is used.
