§ 26.1-33-12 — Group life policy conversion privileges

If any individual insured under a group life insurance policy delivered in this state after July
1, 1983, becomes entitled under the terms of the policy to have an individual life insurance
policy issued without evidence of insurability, subject to making of application and payment of
the first premium within the period specified in the policy, and if the individual is not given notice
of the existence of the right at least fifteen days prior to the expiration date of the period, then
the individual has an additional period within which to exercise that right. This additional period
expires fifteen days after the individual is given notice. Written notice presented to the individual
or mailed by the policyholder to the last-known address of the individual or mailed by the insurer
to the last-known address of the individual as furnished by the policyholder or notice of the right
of conversion included in a certificate provided to each employee or notice provided by the
attachment of a separate notice to the certificate constitutes notice for the purpose of this
section.
