Group Term Life Insurance

Life insurance coverage purchased by an employer for a group of employees. Such insurance is renewable on a year-to-year basis and does not accumulate in value; that is, no cash surrender value is built up. The premiums paid by the employer on such insurance are usually not taxed to an employee unless coverage exceeds $50,000.
