Life Insurance
Financial Protection for the People You Love
Life is full of important milestones—and protecting the people who depend on you is one of the most meaningful financial decisions you can make. Life Insurance helps provide financial security for your loved ones if you pass away.
What Is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a type of financial protection coverage that pays a death benefit to your chosen beneficiary if you die while the policy is in force.
The benefit can help your family handle expenses, maintain financial stability, and prepare for the future during a difficult time.
What Does It Cover?
Life insurance provides a cash benefit that beneficiaries can use for many financial needs, such as:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Mortgage or rent
- Daily living expenses
- Debt repayment
- Education costs
- Income replacement
- Final expenses or estate obligations
Common types of life insurance include:
Term Life Insurance
Provides coverage for a set period of time, such as 10, 20, or 30 years
Permanent Life Insurance
Provides lifelong coverage as long as premiums are paid and may include cash value features, depending on the policy
HOW IT WORKS
- You choose the type and amount of coverage
- You pay premiums to keep the policy active
- If you pass away while covered, your beneficiary files a claim
- The policy pays the death benefit to the beneficiary
Depending on the plan, life insurance may also offer optional riders or added features.
