Group life insurance for which the insured usually pays the full premium and can choose the amount of premium to pay, and in which the death benefit is determined by the amount of the premium. The insured can vary the premium and death benefit amounts during the life of the policy. Like individual universal life insurance, GUL is designed to combine insurance protection with a savings/investment element. In addition, GUL is usually "portable," which means that a group member who leaves the group can continue coverage under the group plan.
