Term life insurance overview
Protect the people you care about
Term life insurance can help those you leave behind.
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance provides financial protection for those you care about after you’re gone. If you die during the policy term, it provides a “death benefit” payment to your beneficiaries that can help them with mortgage payments, college tuition or any other need.
How does term life insurance work?
You pay
You make scheduled premium payments.
You're covered for a term
Your coverage lasts a specific number of years, usually between 10 and 30.

If you die during the policy term, your designated beneficiaries receive the death benefit.
Key benefits
Financial protection for your beneficiaries if something happens to you.

The death benefit to your beneficiaries is generally free of federal income tax.
