To provide each employee with a higher level of protection, we have calculated the amount of coverage for which each employee is eligible.

There are employees who earn bonus or other incentive income that is not protected by your LTD plan. There are employees whose total incomes exceed the maximum level protected by your LTD plan. Your LTD plan is employer-paid, resulting in taxable benefits to a disabled employee.

Payment of Premiums: Premiums will be paid entirely by the employer using a list bill covering all eligible participants. The mode of premium payment is monthly. Discount: 25 percent Basis of Issue: The basis of issue is Guaranteed Standard Issue (GSI). This means that the policy will not be rated or ridered for medical reasons for basic amounts up to the maximum amount shown above. The amount of GSI for which a participant is eligible has been determined using the Issue and Participation Limits for the GSI program and an underwriting assessment of general risk factors associated with ABC Company less any other individual or group coverage applied for or in-force. Benefit amount is calculated for each participant by using 75 percent of that participant s current salary less the LTD benefit. In no event will GSI coverage in excess of the maximum stated above be issued. Any amounts purchased above the maximum basic amounts noted above or with a benefit configuration other than that described in the Plan Design section of this correspondence will be considered outside of the terms of this offer. Such policies will be issued pursuant to normal rules for fully underwritten business. Earned income verification will be required as a basis for coverage. However, as a provision of this program, we will waive our normal requirements for tax forms if we receive a census on the employer s letterhead signed by a duly authorized officer of the company. The census for each eligible participant should include name, date of birth, sex, smoker status, job duties, salary (two years, if possible), bonus (two years, if possible), commission (two years, if possible), and employee contribution to retirement plan. Policies will be issued to all employees eligible on the effective date of coverage. Newly eligible employees must apply within 60 days of coverage. When additional employees become eligible, the same requirements will apply to them. Offer Acceptance: This offer is valid until Date. No applications will be processed until written acceptance of this offer is received in our Home Office. We reserve the right to modify or withdraw this offer at any time. Factors such as, but not limited to, experience, availability of contract or rider types, nonadherence to offer terms or a change in our marketing direction could make this necessary. No communication to participants of this offer or its terms should be distributed without prior review by an appropriate member of our legal department.
Application Process: All applications must be received within 90 days of the acceptance of this offer. If all applications have not been received by this date, the offer will be void.
