MetLife has unveiled its newest voluntary retiree life insurance, designed to offer a retiree-paid life insurance solution for employees who are entering retirement and throughout their retirement years.

MetLife vice president Stephen Pontecorvo said, "The number of baby boomers expected to retire in the next 15 years creates a big need — employees with life insurance provided through the workplace will be looking for ways to extend that insurance into retirement.

"In response to this need, MetLife has developed a plan specifically for retirees that provide convenient life insurance plan options as well as valuable benefits retirees are likely to appreciate."

The life insurer said that the retirees and their spouses will have access to three plan options.

The initial amounts for plan coverage options comprises up to $25,000 offered as guaranteed issue and up to $75,000 or $150,000 in coverage, both of which require medical evidence.

Moreover, the new group term life insurance policy includes three features from MetLife Advantages, the company’s suite of value-added services.
