Who is eligible for a certificate of coverage under a trustee group life policy?

In a trustee group life policy, the certificate of coverage is typically issued to the employees covered under the policy rather than to the employer or the policyholder. Employees are the ones who benefit from the life insurance coverage provided by the policy.

The certificate of coverage serves as proof that the employee is enrolled in the group life insurance plan and outlines the benefits they are entitled to under that policy. It is important for employees, as it confirms their coverage, details the amount of life insurance they have, and includes information on how to claim benefits in the event of death.

The other parties mentioned, such as the employer, insurer, or policyholder, do not receive the certificate of coverage in the same capacity. While the employer may manage the policy and the insurer provides the coverage, it is the employee who is the actual insured party receiving the benefits. Therefore, employees are the eligible parties for a certificate of coverage under a trustee group life policy.
