How does a life insurance policy work?

In general, you pay your insurance company and in return, you get protection for the people you love if something happens to you. You can choose between term (good for a specific amount of time) or permanent life insurance (lifetime coverage).

How do I know if I need term or permanent life insurance?

It depends on your situation. An easy way to think about the difference is to compare them to the idea of renting or owning a home. Term life insurance would be "renting" and permanent life insurance would be "owning."

Frequently asked questions

These are the top three questions people ask us. To see the full list, visit our life insurance FAQs page. 

We offer three types of life insurance:

  • Term life
  • Whole life 
  • Indexed universal life 

Term life provides protection for a specified period of time (like 10, 20 or 30 years) and is typically very affordable when you’re younger. 

Whole life and indexed universal life policies provide permanent coverage. They typically have higher premiums than term life but also build cash value that can help with things like providing emergency funds or an estate for your family later in life.

Term life insurance is life insurance you buy for a specific amount of time, like 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. If something happens to you during that period, it can provide money for your family to use for things like covering final expenses, paying off the mortgage and other debts, and saving for education costs and retirement.

Group policies are a great benefit for employees but are typically only active while you’re employed with that company. So if you leave the company or retire, you may be without coverage. 

A personal life policy can provide coverage regardless of your employment status. If you wait until you retire to get coverage, premiums could be quite a bit higher as you get older.
