Understanding Group Term Life Insurance
Group Term Life Insurance is a type of life insurance where one contract covers multiple people or a group of people. This allows for group rates for each policy issued under a single contract.
WAEPA offers Group Term Life Insurance* to current and former Civilian Federal Employees as its primary life insurance option and Guaranteed Issue Group Term Life to new Civilian Federal Employees—within the first year of service.
WAEPA’s rates are calculated across the entire group of you and your colleagues rather than for individuals, so our rates are exclusively priced.
