Note: The Texas Protects Permanent Life contract between ERS and Metropolitian Life Insurance (MetLife) expired without renewal on February 28, 2002. Under the terms of the contract, active employees who have purchased this product can continue to pay premiums through payroll deductions until they retire, chose to discontinue this coverage, or otherwise terminate employment. Therefore, the only new set up on H0ZUC would be for current or former employee who already has a Texas Protects contract and desires to pay it through payroll deduction.
