Why C is correct
Under Chapter 627, Florida Statutes, an employee's group life coverage begins once the employee satisfies the eligibility requirements the plan states - for example, completing a waiting period or entering a covered class. Coverage is not conditioned on a medical exam, and it does not turn on case-by-case employer choices; the plan's written eligibility rules govern. Agents explaining group benefits at hire should point new employees to those rules.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Any waiting period or class requirement the plan sets must be satisfied first - day-one coverage is not guaranteed.
- B) Group life does not require an individual medical examination for new employees.
- D) Eligibility is determined by the plan's stated rules, not individual employer discretion.
Memory hook
The plan's waiting period, not a workout or a whim, starts coverage.
