Type of group permanent life insurance in which the employee’s contributions are used to purchase paid-up insurance. The employer’s contributions are used to purchase term insurance. The employees’ insurance coverage remains level each year. As the amount of paid-up insurance increases over time, the amount of term insurance that the employer purchases to make up the difference decreases. This type of life insurance has a cash surrender value.
