Who it's for

Who Life insurance is for

  • Parents with children at home
  • Couples who share a mortgage or other debts
  • Anyone whose income supports others
  • People who want help covering final expenses

What it can cover

Common Life coverages

  • Term life: coverage for a set number of years, often chosen while children are young or a mortgage is being paid.
  • Permanent life: coverage meant to last your lifetime as long as premiums are paid; some policies build cash value.
  • Death benefit: money paid to the people you name when the insured person dies.

Coverage depends on your policy's terms, limits and deductibles.

Term covers a set number of years. Permanent is meant to last your lifetime, and some policies build cash value.

It can be a helpful start, but it often ends if you leave the job and may not be enough for your family.
