Medical Underwriting for HQ Staff – Optional and Portability Group Term Life Insurance or Optional Dependent Group Term Life Insurance

 

Summary

HQ-based regular, open, term staff, and executive directors are eligible for Prudential's Optional or Optional Dependent Group Term Life Insurance upon being hired by the World Bank Group. This process is applicable when:

a.    a staff member fails to enroll or have not elected their life insurance option within 60 days of entry-on-duty or upon a qualifying life event such as the birth or death of dependent(s), divorce, marriage, legal adoption, establishment of a domestic partnership, or dissolution of a domestic partnership.

b.    if the staff member chooses to continue with the life insurance with Prudential under portability benefit.

In both cases, they will still have an opportunity to enroll within the 'Late Enrollment' policy/guidelines.

To submit a "Late Enrollment" the staff member will need to complete an "Evidence of Insurability (EOI) Short form" signed by the staff's manager. Once submitted, Prudential will review and either approve the request or request additional medical information which would be provided using the "EOI Long Form"

Decisions to approve the optional life insurance coverage is a decision solely made by the World Bank Group's insurer. The Bank Group has no influence or control over Late Enrollment or portability decisions and cannot overrule the decision communicated by the life insurer.
