Defining Term Life Insurance

What is a Term Life Insurance Policy?

Term life insurance is exactly what it sounds like – a life insurance policy that you buy for a set number of years – a term – to help your family financially in the event of your death.

 

How does Term Life Insurance Work?

Term life insurance plans pay your designated beneficiaries a lump sum benefit if you die within the select policy term. Policy benefits are paid to your beneficiary and can be used as they wish, whether that is for mortgage payments, travel costs, or school for children.

 

How long is Term Life Insurance?

UnitedHealthcare Term Life SafeGuard plans from Golden Rule Insurance Company are sold in 10 or 20 year. The longer the policy, the higher your life insurance quotes are likely to be.

Term vs. Whole Life Insurance : What’s the Difference Between Term and Whole Life Insurance?

Term life insurance policies are active for only a select number of years, making these more budget-friendly and beneficial depending on your life circumstances. These plans may be a good option if you are –

1212170355

Raising children or
putting them through college

1152470872

Paying off a
mortgage

1169643988

Earning a majority of the
household income

In other words, a Term Life insurance policy can be a good option if you have certain timely events that you would need to be able to cover in the event of your death.

Whole Life insurance is a more enduring (often more expensive) form of life insurance. Policies offer you coverage for life, guaranteed benefits in the event of your death and a cash value that grows each year, one that you can add to on a tax-favored basis or even borrow against in some cases.

No one enjoys thinking about what would happen when they’re gone, but having Term Life insurance can help your loved ones financially in your absence.

Term Life with Critical Illness in Action: An Example

1. You select your Term Life policy term (for example, 10 years)

2. You select your benefit levels (for example, $50,000 Term Life benefit with $25,000 Critical Illness optional benefit)

3. You are diagnosed with a critical illness after the waiting period ends and receive a one-time Critical Illness benefit payment per diagnosis (for example, you are diagnosed with a terminal illness and receive $25,000 for your optional Critical Illness benefit)

4. The amount of Critical Illness benefit paid reduces the amount of Term Life benefit remaining (for example, $50,000 Term Life benefit – $25,000 Critical Illness benefit paid = $25,000 Term Life benefit remaining.)

This policy has exclusions, limitations, reduction of benefits, and terms under which the policy may be continued in force or discontinued. For costs and complete details of the coverage, call or write your insurance agent or the company, whichever is applicable.
