Term Life Insurance

A popular choice as it usually is the least expensive option. Term Life Insurance helps provide coverage for a specified period of time, such as while paying off a mortgage or when you have children at home. It’s also often used to help pay for housing expenses, outstanding debt, and daily living costs such as groceries and bills.

Annuities

Annuities can provide a secure way to grow your money for retirement and help provide a steady stream of income that could last for life.

Basic Life Insurance Terms

Life insurance can seem like its own language. Here are some common terms you’re sure to come across.

Named Insured

The insured is the person whose life is covered by the life insurance policy. If the insured person passes away during the policy term, the insurer pays out the death benefit to the designated beneficiaries. In most cases, the insured is also the policyholder.

Policyholder

The policyholder is the legal owner of the life insurance contract. They are the one who initiates the policy, pays the premiums, and has control over the policy’s terms and conditions. In many cases, the policyholder and the named insured are the same person.

Beneficiary

The beneficiary is the person or entity that you legally designate to receive the benefits from your financial products. For life insurance coverage, that is the death benefit your policy will pay if you die.

Face Value

The face value of a life insurance policy is the amount paid to your beneficiaries when you die. It represents the dollar amount of coverage provided by the policy.

Cash Value

Cash value refers to the portion of a permanent life insurance policy that accumulates savings over time. It is a feature found in policies like whole life and universal life insurance. Unlike term life insurance, which has no cash value, these permanent policies build up a savings component.

Insurance Rider

A life insurance rider is an addition of terms and conditions to a life insurance policy that a person can choose when they purchase their life insurance policy. These riders come at an additional cost but add benefits to the insurance coverage.

Guaranteed life insurance that’s easier to qualify for.

Guaranteed Issue Whole Life (GIWL) insurance provides lifelong coverage. It’s a permanent policy that will allow you to help secure your family’s financial outlook well into the future. GIWL has several big advantages over other types of life insurance, including:

  • Fast and easy acceptance process – no medical exam or health questions required.
  • You can purchase up to $25,000 in coverage, which can help take care of those final expenses.
  • Premiums will never go up. Your policy will build cash value that allows you to borrow money, which is a great option to have should you need it.
  • Guaranteed acceptance for AAA Members between the ages of 45 and 85.

Budgeting tip: Pay yourself first.

Pay yourself first. Because that’s the best way to help make sure you have money saved for the most important things in life, like protecting those you love.

  • Set aside a percentage of your income for retirement, life goals and a family emergency fund. No matter how small the percentages you earmark, make sure to keep putting money toward you and your family. 
  • Write it down. Use a spreadsheet, a notebook, even on a napkin (not really, you should go for something more durable) but write it down. 
  • Increase your payments to yourself whenever your income increases. Assign a minimum percentage to pay yourself and ramp it up when your salary or income increases.

4 Surprising Reasons to Get Life Insurance

This is a summary of product provisions and does not contain all of the benefits and exclusions. For complete terms of the insurance coverage, please contact your agent or refer to the policy/contract.

This policy contains a modified benefit clause, which means if you suffer a covered accidental death, you get the full amount of coverage. But if you suffer a non-accidental death within the first two years of coverage, your beneficiaries get 130% of the premiums paid (for GIWL).After two years, the full Benefit Amount is paid for death due to any cause (for GIWL).
