Life Insurance Coverage Eligibility

Who is Eligible?
Retiring Under Age 65 / Age 65 or Older

You are eligible for Retiree Life Insurance if you are at least age 55 and have at least 10 years of service as of your termination date AND were hired or rehired prior to January 1, 2011.

As an eligible retiree, you will receive a flat $30,000 in Life Insurance, at no cost to you. Active employee coverage ends on the last day of the month in which your employment with AEP ends; however, if you die within 31 days of your last day of work, the Plan will provide the full death benefit you would have received under the terms of the policy.

NOTE: Grandfathering provisions may apply to those who were at least age 50 with at least 10 years of service as of December 31, 2000.

Active employee Life Insurance coverage ends on the last day of the month in which your employment with AEP ends; however, if you die within 31 days of ending your employment, the Plan will provide a death benefit in the amount of the insurance you would have been eligible to convert under the terms of the policy.

You are eligible for Retiree Life Insurance if you are at least age 55 and have at least 10 years of service as of your termination date AND were hired or rehired prior to January 1, 2011. If you meet this criteria, you will automatically receive Retiree Life Insurance coverage in the amount of $30,000, at no cost to you. You may continue any additional Life Insurance coverage that you had as an active employee over the Company-provided Retiree Life Insurance amount directly through the insurance carrier through portability and conversion offerings. If you do not meet the Retiree Life Insurance eligibility criteria as described in this paragraph you will only have the option of portability/conversion directly through the Life Insurance carrier. There will be no company-provided offering available to you.

When you end employment, you may be eligible to continue your Group Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance under the portability provision (port) or to convert your Group Term Life to an Individual Life Insurance policy. You may also be eligible to port your dependents’ Life Insurance in effect on your portability date. You do not have to be actively at work on the last day of employment with AEP to be eligible for portability. Portability allows you to continue coverage by paying the applicable premiums directly to the insurance company.


Dependent Life Insurance

Coverage ends on the last day of the month in which your AEP employment ends. If you are eligible and elect to port your Life Insurance coverage, you may also elect to port any covered spouse’s or covered dependent child(ren)’s insurance that are in effect on your portability date.

If you port some or all of your Life Insurance coverage (minimum portable amount is $10,000):

  • You may port your spouse’s dependent (spousal) Life Insurance and AD&D Insurance coverage up to the amount they had in effect on your portability date, not to exceed $500,000.
  • You may port $10,000 of Dependent (child) Life Insurance coverage.

Helpful Tip:

The Life Insurance provider’s portability rates are not the same as the rates active employees pay for coverage that is available under the AEP Life and Accidental Insurance Plan. In general, portability rates are higher than the AEP Life Insurance Plan rates.
