What is the difference between term and permanent insurance?
Term insurance is purchased for a certain period of time. You pay your premium over the time covered. If during the policy death should occur, the benefit (face amount of the policy) is paid to your beneficiaries. If at the end of the policy you are still alive generally no benefits are paid. A new product called Return Of Premium term life insurance is becoming very popular.  Permanent life insurance allows you to build 'cash value' throughout the life of your policy. There are several types of permanent life insurance which you should become familiar with before deciding which is best for your objectives. Learn more about the types of life insurance.

How much life insurance do I need?

Life insurance is purchased to replace income, cover all expenses and all debt, pay for final expenses, cover estate taxes and to create an estate at the time of death. The inflation rate should always be included in your calculations of need; otherwise funding for death that may occur 15 years from now will be 50% or more under estimated. Start to determine your need by going to our
life insurance needs calculator.

K |
What if I smoke cigarettes or use other forms of tobacco?
In order to qualify for lower non-smoker rates, most insurance companies require that an individual be a non-smoker for at least one year.  Insurance companies view other tobacco products like cigars, pipes and chewing tobacco in the same rating as cigarettes; however, Term Life America works with companies that will allow pipe, cigar and chewers to qualify as non-smokers.

 top

L |
Can my policy be cancelled?
Basically no. Once a policy is issued, it cannot be canceled by the insurance company. If your health changes and you continue to make the required premium payments the policy will stay in force. 

 top

M |
Is there a money refund guarantee?
Yes. you can receive a full refund during you ten day right to review clause after the policy has been issued and delivered.

 top

N |
What if
I already have a life insurance policy, should I cancel and start over or add a new policy?
The most important thing to remember is to not cancel any existing coverage until the new policy has been approved, delivered, and put in force. Compare the your current  policy to the one you want to purchase by comparing price, guarantee periods, convertibility, financial strength of the insurance companies. When beginning a new policy a new contestability period and suicide period will start, and usually lasts for the first two years of the new policy.
