For individuals aged 65 or older who are still working and covered by an employer’s group health plan, Medicare’s role depends on the employer’s size. For employers with fewer than 20 employees (as in this case with 18 employees), Medicare is typically theprimary payer, and the group health plan is secondary. However, if the individual is actively working and enrolled in the group plan, the group plan is primary, and Medicare acts as thesecondary payer, covering claims not fully paid by the group plan, as per Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rules.

Option A: Incorrect. The group health plan is primary for active employees, not Medicare.

Option B: Correct. Medicare acts as the secondary insurer, paying claims not fully covered by the group plan.

Option C: Incorrect. Medicare does cover claims as a secondary payer, not denying them to prevent overinsurance.

Option D: Incorrect. Medicare does not require cancellation of group insurance; individuals can maintain both.

Ordinary life insurance, synonymous with whole life insurance, is a level premium permanent insurance product that accumulates a cash value (or reserve) over time. By design, the cash value grows and, at the policy’s maturity (typically age 100 or 121, depending on the policy), equals the face amount of the policy, at which point the policy endows (pays out the face amount to the policyowner if the insured is still alive).

Option A: Correct. The cash value (reserve) in a whole life policy eventually equals the face amount at maturity.

Option B: Incorrect. Dividends are paid only in participating policies, not all whole life policies, and are not guaranteed.

Option C: Incorrect. The cash value continues to earn interest or grow, typically at a guaranteed rate, until maturity.

Option D: Incorrect. There are no mandatory cash value distributions; policyowners can choose to access the cash value.

This question aligns with the Prometric content outline under “Life Products,” which covers the cash value accumulation in whole life insurance.
