That's my understanding.

Step 1. Elect GVUL
Step 2. ????
Step 3. Profit


I believe step 2 is an email after open enrollment closes.

3. Is it possible to keep my full term plan and opt in to the GVUL too?

Thanks
This is exactly what I did. Company 50K + GVUL + optional additional life up to the self insured max. (no physical)

Same I used GVUL and I also use the company optional life term (for now). I was interested in seeing if switching to GVUL would change the other additional term, but looks like no.

Anyone interested in building an RV should probably wait at this point, considering the issues ongoing at the moment.

Definately, that's why I bought instead of build. Buyer beware though. Aircraft construction shouldn't be a side hobby. A meticulous attention to detail is required. Get a thorough prebuy inspection by an A&P intimately familiar with the specific type of exerimental aircraft. Zenith, Rans, Kitfox and Sonex make great kits. I am waiting on the JSX-2T to get off the ground, probably do a factory assist build in OSH.

As I understand these things, your cash accumulation account is counted against the death payout. So if you have a $50,000 insurance policy, and $10,000 in the cash portion, that $10k counts as part of the $50K when your beneficiary gets paid. I would love to be told I am wrong on this.

I don’t think there is any cash accrual from company paid premiums in the GVUL. Any money you put in that is extra is yours and does not count against the death benefit. The only positive to the investing option is the company paid premiums count towards the cost basis of your investment money.
