About this file
This file is an Amendment No. 3 to Group Policy No. 000400252135 issued by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company to Florida Virtual School, effective July 1, 2022. The policy provides group life insurance coverage, dependent life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment benefits to FLVS full-time employees working a minimum of 30 hours per week. The policy includes personal life insurance with benefit amounts ranging from $10,000 to $500,000 (up to five times basic annual earnings, capped at $500,000), spouse life insurance up to $100,000 or 50% of the employee's benefit amount, and child life insurance providing either $500 (ages 14 days to 6 months) or $5,000-$10,000 (ages 6 months to 26 years) depending on the option selected. The policy also incorporates an accelerated death benefit provision, conversion privileges, portability options, extension of death benefits for totally disabled employees, and a prior insurance credit provision to prevent coverage loss during carrier transitions.
The policy establishes a 30-day waiting period for coverage to take effect and requires employee contributions toward premiums through payroll deduction. Premium rates are age-based, ranging from $0.061 per $1,000 of coverage for employees under age 40 to $1.881 per $1,000 for those age 70 and older. Personal life insurance benefits reduce at ages 65, 70, and 75, with coverage terminating at age 99 or upon retirement. An annual open enrollment period runs from May 1 through June 30, allowing eligible employees to elect or increase coverage without evidence of insurability, subject to certain conditions. The policy permits evidence of insurability requirements for coverage amounts exceeding specified guarantee issue limits ($200,000 for personal life insurance and $50,000 for spouse life insurance) and includes comprehensive claims procedures, beneficiary designation provisions, and facility of payment options capped at $2,000.

PREMIUMS AND PREMIUM RATES

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. No coverage provided by this Policy will be in effect until the first premium for such coverage is paid. For coverage to remain in effect, each subsequent premium must be paid on or before its due date. The Group Policyholder is responsible for paying all premiums as they become due. Premiums are payable on or before their due dates at the Company's Group Insurance Service Office. The premium must be paid in U.S. dollars.

The Company will give at least 45 days' advance written notice of any increase in premium rates.
PREMIUM AMOUNT. The amount of premium due on each due date will be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying each rate shown in the Premium Rate Schedule by the amount of insurance to which the rate applies.
Premium adjustments will not be pro-rated daily. Instead, premium will be adjusted as follows.
(1) When an Insured Person's insurance or increase takes effect, premium will be charged from the monthly due date coinciding with or next following that change.
(2) When all or part of an Insured Person's insurance terminates, the applicable premium will cease on the monthly due date coinciding with or next following that termination.
(3) When premiums are paid other than monthly, increases or decreases will result in adjustment from the premium due date coinciding with or next following that change.
The above manner of charging premium is for accounting purposes only. It will not extend coverage beyond a date it would have otherwise terminated. Each premium payment will include any adjustments in past premiums, which are needed due to changes that have not yet been taken into account. If a premium adjustment involves a return of unearned premium, the refund will be limited to the prior 12-month period.

The amount payable to anyone shown above will be reduced by any amount paid in accord with the Facility of Payment section.
In determining who is to receive payment, the Company may rely upon an affidavit by a member of the class of relatives to receive payment. The Company will make payment based upon the affidavit it has; unless it receives notice of a valid claim by some other person, at its Group Insurance Service Office, before paying the proceeds. Such payment will release the Company from any further obligation for the Insured Person's life insurance benefit.
If an Insured Person's named Beneficiary dies:
(1) within 15 days of the Insured Person's death; and
(2) before the Company receives satisfactory proof of the Insured Person's death;
then payment will be made as if the Insured Person had survived that Beneficiary; unless other provisions have been made.
NAMING THE BENEFICIARY. An Insured Person's Beneficiary will be as shown on his or her enrollment card, unless changed. This Policy may replace a group policy providing similar coverages. In that event, the Beneficiary which the Insured Person named under the prior policy will be the Beneficiary under this Policy, until changed.
CHANGING THE BENEFICIARY. Only the Insured Person, or his or her assignee, may change the Beneficiary. A new Beneficiary may be named by filing a written notice of the change with the Company at its Group Insurance Service Office. The change will be effective as of the date it was signed; subject to any action the Company takes before receiving notice of the change.
When applying for a conversion policy under the Conversion Privilege Section, an Insured Person must name a Beneficiary. The Beneficiary named for the conversion policy may be someone other than the person named under this Policy. In that event, the application for the conversion policy will be treated as a written notice of change of Beneficiary.
ASSIGNMENTS
GL1101-7.1C 01
17 07/01/22
Personal Life Insurance may be assigned. The assignments allowed under this Policy are absolute assignments and funeral assignments as described below.
No assignment will be binding on the Company unless and until:
(1) it is made on a form furnished by the Company;
(2) the original is completed and filed with the Company at its Group Insurance Service Office;
and
(3) it is approved by the Company.
The Company and the Group Policyholder do not assume responsibility for the validity or effect of an assignment.
ABSOLUTE ASSIGNMENTS. An Insured Person may make an irrevocable assignment of his or her Personal Life Insurance as a gift (with no consideration), providing he or she has the legal capacity and the mental capacity to do so. It may be made to a trust or to one or more of the Insured Person's relatives, their estates, or to a trustee of a trust under which one of the relatives is a beneficiary.
The term "relatives" includes, but is not limited to, an Insured Person's spouse, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, children, adopted children, stepchildren, and grandchildren.
In some states, community property is an established form of ownership that must be considered in making an assignment. If an Insured Person makes an absolute assignment to two or more assignees, such assignees will be joint owners with the right of survivorship between them. An Insured Person should consult with his or her own legal advisor before making an assignment.
Once the assignment has been recorded by the Company, the Insured Person can no longer change the beneficiary and cannot apply for conversion. Only the assignee can change the beneficiary designation if the previous designation is revocable. An assignment will have no effect on a prior irrevocable beneficiary designation. Only the assignee can apply for conversion but only when the Conversion Privilege provision would have been available to the Insured Person in the absence of the assignment under this Policy.
An absolute assignment cannot be used as a collateral assignment.
FUNERAL ASSIGNMENTS. Upon an Insured Person's death, the beneficiary may assign the Personal Life Insurance benefit to a funeral home for payment of burial expenses. After payment has been made for the burial expenses to the assigned funeral home, the remaining death benefit is then paid in accord with the Beneficiary and Settlement Options sections of this Policy.
FACILITY OF PAYMENT
GL1101-8 97 Death Ben. & Suicide Excl.
18 07/01/22
Policy benefits may become payable to an Insured Person's estate, to a minor, or to a person who the Company does not consider competent to give a valid release. In that event, the Company has the option to pay one or more of the following:
(1) a person who has assumed the care and support of the Insured Person or Beneficiary;
(2) a person who has incurred expense as a result of the Insured Person's last illness or death;
(3) the personal representative of the Insured Person's estate; or
(4) any person related by blood or marriage to the Insured Person.
No payment made under this section may exceed the Facility of Payment Amount shown in the Schedule of Insurance. Any payment made in good faith under this section will fully discharge the Company to the extent of the payment. Any remaining amount of benefit will be paid as shown in the Beneficiary section.
DEATH BENEFIT
AMOUNT PAYABLE ON DEATH. Upon receipt of satisfactory proof of an Insured Person's death, the Company will pay a death benefit equal to the amount of Personal Life Insurance in effect on the date of death.
This amount is shown in the Schedule of Insurance. The benefit will be paid as shown in the Beneficiary, Facility of Payment, and Settlement Options sections.
EXCLUSION. Benefits will not be payable if the Insured Person's death:
(1) results from suicide, while sane or insane; and
(2) occurs within two years after the Insured Person's Personal Life Insurance or an increased amount of insurance takes effect under the Policy (or under any prior group life insurance policy which the Policy replaced within 1 day of the prior plan's termination date).
This exclusion will apply only to that amount of insurance or increase which was issued within the two years prior to the Insured Person's death.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS
INSTALLMENTS. All or part of the death benefit may be received in installments, by making written election to the Company.
ELECTION. While living, an Insured Person may direct the Company to pay the death benefit in installments.
If no such direction is in effect at the time of the Insured Person's death, the Beneficiary may make such an election.
CONDITIONS. Any election, whether by an Insured Person or a Beneficiary, must comply with the Company's practices at the time it is made. The amount applied under a settlement option must be at least $2,000. It must be sufficient to provide a payment of at least $20 per month.
EXTENSION OF DEATH BENEFIT
For Employees Only
GL1101-9 VOL w/o DEP-SSNRA 19 07/01/22
BENEFIT. Life insurance will be continued, without payment of premiums, for an Insured Person who:
(1) becomes Totally Disabled while insured under this policy and before reaching age 60;
(2) remains Totally Disabled for at least 6 months in a row; and
(3) submits satisfactory proof within the 7th through the 12th months of disability; or:
(a) as soon as reasonably possible after that; but
(b) not later than the 24th month of disability, unless he or she was legally incapacitated.
PREMIUM PAYMENT. Premium payments must continue until:
(1) the day the Insured Person is approved for this Extension of Death Benefit; or
(2) the day this Policy terminates (whichever occurs first).
Upon receipt of satisfactory proof, the Company will refund up to 12 months' premium paid for the Insured Person's life insurance, from the 1st day of Total Disability.
DEFINITION. For this benefit, Total Disability or Totally Disabled means an Insured Person:
(1) is unable, due to sickness or injury, to engage in any employment or occupation for which such
Insured Person is or becomes qualified by reason of education, training, or experience; and
(2) is not engaging in any gainful employment or occupation.
AMOUNT CONTINUED. The life insurance continued by this section:
(1) will be the amount of Personal Life Insurance in effect on the day the Insured Person's Total
Disability begins; and
(2) will be subject to the reductions and terminations in effect under this Policy on that day.
If the Insured Person receives an Accelerated Death Benefit, the amount will be reduced in accord with that provision. Any Accidental Death and Dismemberment Benefit will not be continued.
ADDITIONAL PROOF. At any time during this continuation, the Company may require the Insured Person:
(1) to submit further proof of his or her continued Total Disability; and
(2) to be examined by a Physician of the Company's choice, as often as reasonably necessary.
After the first two years of Total Disability, the Company will not request proof or an exam more than once a year. Proof will be at the Insured Person's expense; unless the Company requests an exam by a Physician of its choice.
When an Insured Person dies after submitting proof, further proof must be submitted to the Company showing that he or she remained continuously and Totally Disabled until death. When an Insured Person dies within 12 months after Total Disability begins, but before submitting proof; then his or her death benefit will still be paid under the terms of this Policy. But the Company must first receive satisfactory proof of his or her continuous Total Disability, from the last day of Active Work until the date of death.
TERMINATION. Any life insurance extended under this section will terminate automatically on:
(1) the day the Insured Person ceases to be Totally Disabled;
(2) the day the Insured Person fails to take a required medical examination;
(3) the 60th day after the Company mails a request for additional proof, if it is not given;
(4) the effective date of the Insured Person's individual conversion policy, with respect to any amount of life insurance converted in accord with the Conversion Privilege section; or
(5) the day the Insured Person reaches Social Security Normal Retirement Age (SSNRA), as shown in the Schedule of Insurance (whichever occurs first).
RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION. If Total Disability ends, and the Insured Person does not return to a class eligible for Policy coverage; then he or she may exercise the Conversion Privilege. If Total Disability ends, and the Insured Person does return to an eligible class; then his or her Policy coverage will resume when premium payments are resumed, and any conversion policy is surrendered as provided below.
EXTENSION OF DEATH BENEFIT
For Employees Only
(Continued)
GL1101-9 VOL w/o DEP-SSNRA 20 07/01/22
CONVERSION POLICIES. If the Insured Person has exercised the Conversion Privilege, and the benefits payable under this Policy and the conversion policy combined would exceed:
(1) the Insured Person's original amount of Policy coverage prior to the conversion; or
(2) any greater amount for which he or she later becomes insured under this Policy;
then benefits will be payable under the terms of this Policy. But the conversion policy must first be surrendered to the Company; and no claim may be made under the conversion policy, except for refund of premium less any dividends and policy loans.
ACCELERATED DEATH BENEFIT
GL1101-9.8 01 FL ADB-DEP.
21 07/01/22
BENEFIT. The Accelerated Death Benefit is an advance payment of part of the Insured Person's Personal Life Insurance or Spouse Life Insurance. It may be paid to the Insured Person, in a lump sum, once during the Insured Person's lifetime.
To qualify, a Terminal Insured Person must:
(1) have satisfied the Active Work requirement under this Policy;
(2) have been insured under this Policy for at least 12 months; and
(3) have at least $2,000 of Personal Life Insurance under this Policy on the day before the
Accelerated Death Benefit is paid.
To qualify, a Terminal Dependent spouse must:
(1) have satisfied the Nonconfinement or Period of Limited Activity requirement under this
Policy;
(2) have been insured under this Policy for at least 12 months; and
(3) have at least $2,000 of Spouse Life Insurance under this Policy on the day before the
Accelerated Death Benefit is paid.
Receiving the Accelerated Death Benefit will reduce the Remaining Life Insurance and the Death Benefit payable at death, as shown on the next page.
"Claimant," as used in this section, means the Terminal Insured Person or Terminal Dependent spouse for whom the Accelerated Death Benefit is requested.
"Terminal" means the Insured Person or Dependent spouse has a medical condition which is expected to result in death in 12 months or less, despite appropriate medical treatment.
APPLYING FOR THE BENEFIT. To withdraw the Accelerated Death Benefit, the Insured Person (or his or her legal representative) must send the Company:
(1) written election of the Accelerated Death Benefit, on forms supplied by the Company; and
(2) satisfactory proof that the Claimant is Terminal, including a Physician's written statement.
The Company reserves the right to decide whether such proof is satisfactory.
Before paying an Accelerated Death Benefit, the Company must also receive the written consent of any irrevocable beneficiary, assignee or bankruptcy court with an interest in the benefit. Before paying an Accelerated Death Benefit for a Dependent spouse, the Company must also receive the Insured Person's written consent. (See Limitations 3, 4, 5, and 6.)
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A LONG-TERM CARE POLICY. RECEIVING THIS ACCELERATED
DEATH BENEFIT WILL REDUCE THE BENEFIT PAYABLE AT DEATH. ANY AMOUNT
WITHDRAWN MAY BE TAXABLE INCOME, SO THE INSURED PERSON SHOULD CONSULT A
TAX ADVISOR BEFORE APPLYING FOR THIS BENEFIT.
AMOUNT OF THE BENEFIT. The Insured Person may elect to withdraw an Accelerated Death Benefit in any $1,000 increment; subject to:
(1) a minimum of $1,000 or 10% of the Claimant's amount of Life Insurance (whichever is greater); and
(2) a maximum of $250,000 or 75% of the Claimant's amount of Life Insurance (whichever is less).
GL1101-9.8 01 FL ADB-DEP.
22 07/01/22
To determine the Accelerated Death Benefit, the Company will use the lesser of A or B below:
A. the Claimant's amount of Life Insurance which is in force on the day before the Accelerated
Death Benefit is paid; or B. the Claimant's amount of Life Insurance which would be in force 12 months after that date; if the coverage is scheduled to reduce, due to age, within 12 months after the Accelerated Death Benefit is paid.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE: NONE
WITHDRAWAL FEE: NONE
EFFECT ON AMOUNT OF LIFE INSURANCE. "Remaining Life Insurance" means the amount of Life Insurance which remains in force on the Claimant's life after an Accelerated Death Benefit is paid. The Remaining Life Insurance will equal:
(1) the Claimant's amount of Life Insurance which was used to determine the Accelerated Death Benefit (A or B above); minus
(2) any percentage by which the Claimant's coverage is scheduled to reduce, due to age; if the reduction occurs more than 12 months after the Accelerated Death Benefit is paid, and while he or she is still living; minus
(3) the amount of the Accelerated Death Benefit withdrawn.
PREMIUM: There is no additional charge for this benefit. Continuation of the Remaining Life Insurance will be subject to timely payment of the premium for the reduced amount; unless the Insured Person qualifies for waiver of premium under this Policy's Extension of Death Benefit provision, if included.
CONDITIONS. If the Claimant exercises the Conversion Privilege after an Accelerated Death Benefit is paid, the amount of the conversion policy will not exceed the amount of his or her Remaining Life Insurance. If the Claimant has Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefits under this Policy, the Principal Sum will not be affected by the payment of an Accelerated Death Benefit.
EFFECT ON DEATH BENEFIT. When the Claimant dies after an Accelerated Death Benefit is paid, the amount of Remaining Life Insurance in force on the date of death will be paid as a Death Benefit. The Insured Person's Death Benefit will be paid in accord with the Beneficiary section of this Policy. The Dependent spouse's Death Benefit will be paid to the Insured Person, or in accord with the Dependent Life Insurance section of this Policy. If the Claimant dies after application for an Accelerated Death Benefit has been made, but before the Company has made payment; then the request will be void and no Accelerated Death Benefit will be paid. The amount of Life Insurance in force on the date of death will be paid in accord with Policy provisions.
EFFECT ON TAXES AND GOVERNMENT BENEFITS. Any Accelerated Death Benefit amount withdrawn may be taxable income to the Insured Person. Receipt of the Accelerated Death Benefit may also affect the Claimant's eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income and other government benefits. The Claimant should consult his or her own tax and legal advisor before applying for an Accelerated Death Benefit.
The Company is not responsible for any tax owed or government benefit denied, as a result of the Accelerated Death Benefit payment.
GL1101-9.8 01 FL ADB-DEP.
23 07/01/22
LIMITATIONS. No Accelerated Death Benefit will be paid:
(1) if any required premium is due and unpaid;
(2) on any conversion policy purchased in accord with the Conversion Privilege;
(3) without the written approval of the bankruptcy court, if the Insured Person has filed for bankruptcy;
(4) without the written consent of the beneficiary, if the Insured Person has named an irrevocable beneficiary;
(5) without the written consent of the Insured Person, if the Claimant is a Terminal Dependent spouse;
(6) without the written consent of the assignee, if the Insured Person has assigned his or her rights under this Policy;
(7) if any part of the Life Insurance must be paid to the Insured Person's child, spouse or former spouse; pursuant to a legal separation agreement, divorce decree, child support order or other court order;
(8) if the Claimant is Terminal due to a suicide attempt, while sane or insane; or due to an intentionally self-inflicted injury;
(9) if a government agency requires the Insured Person or the Claimant to use the Accelerated Death Benefit to apply for, receive or continue a government benefit or entitlement; or
(10) if an Accelerated Death Benefit has been previously paid for the Claimant under this Policy.
