APSIT Group Term Life Insurance is underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company on Policy Form GMR.
The APSIT Group Insurance Program is administered by Pearl Insurance. Pearl Insurance strives to provide APSIT Group Insurance Program participants with the most relevant, competitively priced member benefit insurance packages for individuals and their families.
The insurance companies reserve the right to change rates. They usually report "coverage experience" (or the number and size of claims made) twice a year and, if applicable, rate action recommendations. Using this information, the Program Administrator works with APSIT to evaluate the recommendations and decide what, if any, action (i.e. a rate action, a change in benefits, or even a change in insurance companies) is appropriate to maintain each policy's financial stability and competitive status. APSIT ultimately approves the action, and insured participants are advised of their decision prior to implementation.
