Specifications include, but are not limited to: The MS Department of Public Safety (MDPS) is requesting proposals for voluntary whole life insurance plans. Plans should be structured as individually owned plans. Do not submit group plan proposals. The cost of insurance coverage is a monthly premium paid in entirety by the policyholder which is the employee. MDPS is not the purchaser of the whole life insurance policy and will not pay any cost towards this coverage. The voluntary whole life insurance plan will be available to approximately 1,100 employees. All employees are paid through a centralized payroll system. Our agency currently has approximately 80 employees enrolled in whole life insurance policies through payroll deduction. This will not be a take-over policy. New policies will be offered as of January 1, 2019. Our current provider’s contract will end on December 31, 2018. An employee census is provided at the end of this document. Current provider, rates and billing information will not be released.
