About GSIS Enhanced Life Policy (ELP)
The ELP seeks to enhance the death benefits of your family and, at the same time, to simplify the administration of the compulsory life insurance component of the GSIS benefit program.
What are the features of the ELP?
The insurance coverage shall be a yearly term renewable life insurance cover based on your fixed monthly compensation.
The policy shall have neither a maturity value nor fixed insurance cover.
The computation of insurance cover shall be based solely on your annual compensation while you are in government service, multiplied by a predetermined amount of insurance (AOI) factor.
Your age and length of service will no longer be a factor in determining the amount of your insurance coverage.
The ELP will also earn cash value in the form of termination value, which you can withdraw upon separation or retirement and shall be the basis of your yearly cash dividends and policy loan.
An automatic premium loan (APL) facility secured against the policy’s termination value shall also be provided to answer for nonpayment of premiums.
The ELP may lapse if no payment of premiums is effected within a prescribed period but may automatically be reinstated or reissued without the need to issue a new policy once you resume payment.

An existing regular GSIS member whose LEP lapsed by reason of nonpayment of life insurance premiums and whose policy matured on or after August 1, 2003. You will be issued the ELP if you continue to be in active service.
What is the effectivity date of the ELP cover?

If you are an employee whose policy matured on or after August 1, 2003, the date of cover shall be the day following the date of maturity of your LEP.
