It is possible that they can cancel her policy. Most employer sponsored insurance plans are only obligated to the employee or retiree or the retiree’s spouse. Since her mother has passed away, they may at this point have no obligation to cover your sister in law. It is always good to have insurance outside the employer for reason just as this. Sometimes due to a disability, some can not be insured on any policy other than under a group or employee benefits. You did not say what type of disability she has. However at this point, I would try to gather life insurance quotes to see if you can find a way to get her life insurance. Got to freeadvice.com quote center and get free life quote by clicking here.
