Virginia Insurance Virginia Life, Annuities, and Health Insurance Examination Series 1101 Exam Questions

Answer : A

Qualified retirement plans are subject to federal participation standards to ensure broad employee access. Generally, employees age 21 or older must be allowed to participate after completing one year of service. One year of service typically means working at least 1,000 hours during a 12-month period. While some plans may impose longer vesting schedules for employer contributions, participation requirements are designed to prevent unreasonable exclusion of employees. The other options exceed the standard participation limit and are not consistent with general qualified plan rules. Therefore, one year of service is the correct minimum requirement.

Answer : A

Adjustable life insurance (Virginia Code 38.2-3113.1) allows flexibility in face amount and premiums, effectively shifting between term (lower cost, no cash value) and whole life (higher cost, cash value) features while in force (option A). Option B is false; nonforfeiture options include cash, reduced paid-up, or extended term. Option C is false; settlement options (e.g., lump sum) apply as with other policies. Option D is wrong; it's life insurance, not an annuity. The study guide likely explains this adaptability---e.g., increasing premiums to build cash value (whole life)---making A the true statement.

Answer : C

A certificate of insurance in a group health plan is evidence of the employee's insurance coverage. It provides a summary of the coverage, terms, and benefits the employee is entitled to under the group policy. It is not a contract between the employee and the insurer or between the employer and the insurer. The employer typically holds the master policy, while the certificate is issued to each employee covered under the plan.

Answer : B

Employees under group life plans receive certificates of insurance summarizing coverage, not full policies. Exact extract: ''Each employee insured under a group life policy shall be given a certificate of insurance describing coverage.''

Answer : B

In Virginia, an insurance agent's license remains active for 30 calendar days without an appointment. During this period, the agent may not transact insurance business until an appointment is in place.

Appointments link the agent to an insurer and authorize the agent to act on the insurer's behalf. Virginia regulations require insurers to file appointments promptly, and failure to secure an appointment within the allowed timeframe may result in license inactivity.

This rule ensures regulatory oversight and consumer protection by confirming that agents operate only under authorized insurer relationships.

Answer : B

In life insurance, the applicant is the person who applies for coverage and is usually the policyowner. The insured is the person whose life is covered, and the beneficiary is the person or entity designated to receive the death benefit. When a person applies for insurance on their own life, they are both the applicant and the insured, and they typically become the policyowner. In this scenario, Kim applies for the policy on Kim's own life, making Kim the applicant and policyowner. Chris is named only as the beneficiary. None of the other answer choices correctly identify these roles based on the information provided.

Answer : A

An agent must provide an outline of coverage to an applicant for long-term care insurance at the time of the initial solicitation. This ensures that the applicant is fully informed about the key features and benefits of the long-term care insurance policy before they make a decision. The outline provides details about the policy's coverage, limitations, exclusions, and other essential elements.
