- (a) Life insurance benefits are payable to the beneficiary designated by the employee. Premiums and overpaid disability benefits due and payable to EGID at the time of the insured's death may be withheld from life insurance benefits before payment of the remainder to the beneficiary or estate. Life proceeds are not assignable, except a beneficiary may assign proceeds in an amount equal to the decedent's burial expenses. If no beneficiary form is on file with EGID, benefits will be paid to the decedent's estate.(b) Health and dental benefits are payable to the employee or the provider. If any health or dental benefits remain unpaid at the employee's death, EGID, may at its option, pay the benefits to the employee's estate or to any one or more relatives such as follows: spouse, father, mother, children, brothers or sisters. Any such payment will constitute complete discharge of EGID's obligation to the extent of the amount paid.(c) If a minor or person otherwise legally incapable of giving a valid receipt of discharge of any payment is selected as a beneficiary, a guardian must be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction before benefits shall be paid.
