Why Choose Term Life Insurance?
Get “Affordable protection designed to provide strong coverage during critical years.”
Affordable Rates – For many healthy applicants, substantial coverage may be available at a lower monthly cost compared to permanent insurance. Actual premiums depend on age, health, coverage amount, term length, and the issuing insurance company. **
Pure Protection Focus – No cash value component means more of your premium goes toward the death benefit
Flexible Term Options – Choose term lengths from 10–30 years to match your financial timeline
Predictable Costs – Level term life insurance provides consistent premiums throughout the selected term
Streamlined Underwriting – Depending on the insurer, coverage may be available through traditional underwriting or simplified/no-exam options. Requirements vary by carrier.
With term life insurance, you get strong financial protection with fewer complexities than permanent insurance. Designed for families who need coverage during key financial years, it delivers peace of mind at an accessible monthly cost.
How Term Life Insurance Works
Protecting your family’s financial future is straightforward. Here’s how to secure the life insurance coverage you need in three simple steps.
Step 1: Determine Your Coverage Amount
Calculate how much life insurance your family may need based on income replacement, mortgage obligations, education costs, and future financial goals. Many financial professionals recommend 10–20 times your annual income for comprehensive protection.
Step 2: Apply with a Life Insurance Company
Complete an application, possibly undergo a medical exam, and answer questions about your health history. Approval typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on underwriting.
Step 3: Activate Your Financial Protection
Once approved, begin paying monthly premiums and your coverage goes into effect. If you pass away during the term, your beneficiaries receive a tax-free lump sum death benefit.
Term Life vs. Permanent Life Insurance
Term life insurance offers important differences from whole life and other permanent policies that can benefit families:
Level Term Life Insurance
Provides fixed premiums and a guaranteed death benefit for the selected term (10–30 years)
No Cash Values
Pure insurance protection with no savings component, giving you the option to pursue other financial goals
Lower Premiums
Term life typically costs significantly less than permanent insurance for the same amount of coverage
Coverage Options & Term Lengths
Select the protection level and term length that suits your family’s financial responsibilities:
10-Year Terms – Ideal for short-term financial obligations or to supplement existing coverage
20-Year Terms – Covers peak earning years and major expenses like a mortgage
30-Year Terms – Extended coverage through child-rearing and debt repayment years
Premiums vary by age, health, coverage amount, and term length. Many families find that a 20–30 year term provides the right balance of protection and value.
Term Life FAQs
What is Medicare, and how do I know if I’m eligible?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals with disabilities. Eligibility is typically based on work history and Social Security benefits, but some people may qualify through a spouse or other special circumstances.
What is the difference between Medicare Part A and Part B?
Medicare Part A is often available at no cost to individuals who have worked and paid Medicare taxes for a required period, typically at least 10 years (40 quarters). This means that most people who have contributed to the Medicare system through payroll taxes during their employment do not have to pay a monthly premium for Part A coverage. However, those who do not meet the work requirements may still be eligible to enroll but will need to pay a premium.
On the other hand, Medicare Part B generally requires a monthly premium, which varies based on income and is adjusted annually. In addition to the premium, individuals enrolled in Part B may also be responsible for deductibles and coinsurance when receiving covered medical services.
What is Medicare Advantage (Part C)?
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and serve as an alternative to Original Medicare by combining coverage into a single plan. These plans operate within a network and may have specific rules for accessing services, such as requiring referrals or using designated providers.
What is Medicare Part D?
Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage through private insurance companies approved by Medicare. It helps lower medication costs and protects against high drug expenses.
Term Life vs. Permanent Insurance Comparison
Understanding your life insurance options helps you make the best choice for your family’s financial security.
How does term life insurance compare to permanent policies?

What happens when the term ends?
Many policyholders no longer need large coverage amounts when their term ends, but options may include converting to permanent coverage or renewing at a higher premium.
Should I consider permanent life insurance instead?

Many term life policies include conversion features that allow you to switch to permanent insurance without a new medical exam.
Does the insurer's financial strength matter?
Yes. Select insurers with strong financial ratings to ensure claim-paying ability when benefits are needed.
