Whole Life

Whole life insurance is designed to provide coverage for the insured person’s lifetime, as long as the policy stays in force under its contract. Premiums and payment schedules vary by policy, so review how much is due, how often it is due, and what happens if a payment is missed.

Some whole life policies build cash value over time. The amount and timing depend on the contract, and cash value may be limited in the early years. Policy loans or withdrawals can reduce the cash value and death benefit; unpaid loan balances may also affect the policy. Dividends are available only on certain participating policies and are not guaranteed.

When comparing options, look at the premium, benefit amount, any guaranteed values, exclusions or limitations, and the rules for changing, borrowing against, or surrendering the policy. Ask how long coverage is expected to last at the planned premium and what choices may be available if your needs or budget change.

Eligibility and pricing depend on the carrier, product, state, application, and underwriting. A quote or application is not a guarantee of coverage. The issuing carrier determines final approval and policy terms. Review the policy contract for its complete provisions.
