Term life insurance gives you so much
for so little.
Term life insurance is coverage for a particular
term or period of time that pays a fixed amount
of money if the insured dies during the term of
the policy. The premiums are based on your
age when coverage begins. Your rate may
change only if the rates for the entire group
are changed. The policies do not build up
cash value like whole life insurance.
Double benefits for accidents.
You will receive benefits in the event of a
covered accidental death from day one, and
you’re covered for double the amount of
protection you choose – which could be as
much as $40,000.
Your acceptance is guaranteed.

No medical history needed.
Retirees can elect life insurance coverage up
to, but not to exceed $20,000. The retiree’s
spouse may enroll for a total benefit amount
equal to or less than the retiree’s total
coverage amount.
You can’t be canceled because
of age or health.
If you enroll in the PERS of Mississippi Senior
Term Life Insurance Plan between the ages
of 44 and 90, your plan will continue to renew
until you reach age 120. It cannot be canceled
because of your age or any changes in your
health, subject to the limited benefit period end
at age 120.
Provide peace of mind for your loved ones.
That’s all part of the plan.
Introducing the PERS of Mississippi Senior Term Life Insurance Plan.
About this booklet.
This booklet is designed to answer some common questions about the PERS of
Mississippi Senior Term Life coverage being offered to eligible retirees. It is not intended
to provide a detailed description of the coverage.
When you become insured, you will receive a certificate containing a detailed description
of the insurance, including the definitions, exclusions, limitations, reductions and
terminating events. The controlling provision will be in the group policy. Neither this
booklet nor the certificate modifies the group policy or the insurance coverage in any way.

You and your spouse can be covered.
All PERS retirees and their spouses ages
44 to 90 can participate in the senior term life
insurance plan.
However, if you have coverage as an insured
retiree, you cannot become insured as the
spouse of another insured (retiree).
Expanding coverage is easy.
Retirees can increase their life insurance
coverage at any time, however, the total
coverage for the retiree cannot exceed
$20,000. The retiree’s spouse may enroll for
a total benefit amount equal to or less than
the retiree’s total coverage amount. This new
coverage is subject to two years of limited
benefits; full benefits are available after two
years.
Automatic deductions simplify payment.
Term life premiums are deducted directly from
your retirement benefit payment, so you can be
confident that you’ve done your best to protect
your family.
Senior Term Life plan holders can
increase their coverage.
If you are currently insured under another
policy, but want to add to your coverage
under Securian Life, you may contact us at
