Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey Report

The purpose of this survey was to gather a high-level view of U.S. Group Term Life Insurance mortality results during the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to prior period baseline mortality results. This report is an update to the previous Group Life COVID-19 Mortality Survey published in July 2021, which included pandemic data from April 2020 through March 2021. This update includes Group Life mortality results from April 2020 through September 2021 (referred to in this report as the “pandemic period”), representing 18 months of Group Life mortality experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is caused by the “novel coronavirus” named “SARS-CoV-2,” which was identified in 2019. As of the writing of this document, complications from COVID-19 have killed over 875,000 people in the United States alone, and over 5.5 million worldwide.
