I have a question for anyone who might know. I have heard that IEEE has an group life insurance plan which provides term coverage at excellent rates. Does anyone know whether this insurance is available to student members? Thanks for the info, Jon Cargille jcargill@cs.wisc.edu

I signed up for a policy. So if it doesn't apply to students, I should find out before long, and promise to post a flame here if this is the case. -Johnny Assurance

I have IEEE life. While they do require a blood and urine test, the
person came to *my* apartment to get them. No hassle, it took all of 5
minutes.

I had IEEE life insurance for several years as a student. An insurance consultant friend of mind told me recently that the rates are good. -- Steve Eddins ------------ eddins@uicbert.eecs.uic.edu (312) 996-5771 FAX: (312) 413-0024 University of Illinois at Chicago, EECS Dept., M/C 154, 1120 SEO Bldg,

Something I was not aware of when I signed up for IEEE insurance is that you have to have a blood test for AIDS give them a supervised urine sample after a 6 hour fast. The insurance I had did not cause me this bother, and it was worth the extra money to me to avoid the hassle. Now it is too late. Perhaps I can inform someone else this way who might be in a similar position.

I have a policy for Universal Life Insurance from IEEE, and I did not have to take any tests at all. The rates for universal life are also excellent, in fact I compared them against other "good" plans to find out that at the end of the policy period, the yield for IEEE policy could be as much as twice the yield for some policies. And yes, I *am* a student! Hope this helps, Ajit

I suspect Ajit got his policy more than a year ago. The policy about test taking is recent. If you want to know for sure, you can ask IEEE, but they are likely to tell you, as they told me, that they don't make the decision and that it is up to the actual insurance company.

I've changed companies twice in the past few years, and have had to have the tests both times. One company said they only did it for policies over $100K, and the other said it required the tests for all new policies. dan@scooter.rosemount.com
