Ark. Code Ann. § 23-83-119: Death pending conversion provision

Excluding an annuity policy, a group policy shall contain a provision that if a person insured under the group policy, or the insured dependent of a covered person, dies during the period within which the individual would have been entitled to have an individual policy issued to him or her in accordance with §§ 23-83-117 and 23-83-118 and before the individual policy shall have become effective, the amount of life insurance which he or she would have been entitled to have issued to him or her under the individual policy shall be payable as a claim under the group policy, whether or not application for the individual policy or the payment of the first premium therefor has been made.
