Frequently asked questions
A trust can be the beneficiary, but it cannot own the coverage. Group term life and AD&D are held under the employer's group policy, so there is no individual policy to assign to an irrevocable life insurance trust; the certificate cannot be retitled. Name the trust as beneficiary instead, giving the full legal trust name and the date the trust was established on the Beneficiary Designation form, which is returned to the employer (the employer, not UnitedHealthcare, keeps designations on file). If the goal is trust-owned life insurance, the path is conversion or portability to an individual policy when employment ends — the Life Conversion Facility (HRMP) at 1-888-999-4767, generally within 31 days, or supplemental life portability at 1-877-683-8601.
