Why Individual Life Insurance?
Your Group Life Insurance terminates when you are no longer an employee of Coweta County. In addition, the amounts of coverage available to you and your family are limited under the Group Insurance plan.
Employees can enroll in an Individual Life Insurance plan insured by Unum. Whole Life Insurance is available for yourself and family members. When you retire or terminate employment with Coweta County, you simply pay the same premium rate direct to the company rather than on payroll deductions.
