Can employees keep their Life insurance when they terminate employment?

Yes, employees are able to continue both Basic (employer paid) life insurance as well as Optional (employee paid) life insurance under Minnesota Continuation Law (MOBRA) Basic Life needs to be continued before any Optional Life can be continued. In addition, the employee can choose not to continue his/her optional life and still continue any spouse or dependent life. Continuation of coverage would be at the same group rate for 18 months and the employee would remain on the group's Minnesota Life billing. Minnesota Life does not bill the employee direct. At the end of the 18 months of continuation, the employee has a conversion option. The employer should notify Minnesota Life of the date the active coverage terminated and whether or not the employee has elected continuation. The employee should be informed that he/she needs to contact Minnesota Life toward the end of the 18 month continuation if interested in converting to an individual policy.
