agreement with one or more insurance companies to provide life or
disability insurance coverage for the purchasers of farms and homes
from the department, the master agreement shall provide that the life
insurance will be offered to purchasers who are disabled solely as a
result of their qualifying military service and to nondisabled

form of group life or group disability insurance.
