Did you know? 42% of American households would have trouble paying
living expenses in six months or less if their primary wage earner died.1
It’s clear that there is a great need for life insurance, but did you know that today’s term life insurance may be a lot different from what you’re used to?
OLD Term Life Insurance
The old standard for term life insurance is what you’d expect – basic death benefit protection and maybe an accelerated death benefit for terminal illness
- Death Benefit Protection
- Sometimes terminal illness ADBE (6-12 month life expectancy)
NEW Term Life Insurance
New term life insurance is about offering more value for less, and may include:
- Death Benefit Protection
- Accelerated Underwriting (faster, easier, less invasive)
- Convertibility Options2 – (easily convert to permanent policy)
- Lower Rates (a potentially lower rate than you’d expect)
- Living Benefits (critical, chronic, and terminal illness w/ 24-month life expectancy3)
LIVING BENEFITS May be the most important aspect of New Term Life Insurance.
A serious illness can affect anyone at any time, and place additional strain on your family’s finances. Living Benefits can help protect against this financial risk by allowing you to access a portion of your death benefit while living if you are diagnosed with a qualifying illness.
Here are some of the potential costs you could expect to pay:
- $108,405 per year for a private room in a nursing home4
- $94,900 per year for a licensed home health aide4 (non-medicare certified)
- An annual increase of 4.65% since 20204
Some Term life insurance policies come with all of the new term features including living benefits. That’s added protection, no added premium5!
