September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month, making it an ideal time to explore insurance options or review your current coverage. Life insurance* proceeds can provide a financial lifeline for loved ones if something happens to you. The type of policy you choose may depend on how long you’ll need coverage and on the policy’s cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TERM INSURANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Term insurance provides coverage for a set period, typically 10 to 30 years, though shorter and longer terms are also available. If you die during the term, the policy pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries. A term policy has no cash value. It is less expensive than permanent insurance and may be a good choice if others depend on your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PERMANENT INSURANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Permanent insurance generally remains in effect as long as you continue paying premiums. In addition to the death benefit, the policy builds cash value over time. Permanent insurance is a good option if you want lifetime coverage, access to the policy’s cash value through withdrawals or loans, and are comfortable with higher premiums. Review all your options to help you choose the right policy for your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Applications for life insurance are subject to underwriting. No insurance coverage exists unless the required premium is paid to put an issued policy in force. Accessing cash values may reduce the death benefit and policy values, trigger tax consequences, surrender fees, and charges, and may require additional premium payments to maintain the contract. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuer.<\/sub><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
