Get lifelong protection that builds cash value

Whole Life Insurance is ideal for permanent coverage that remains consistent throughout your life.

Whole Life Insurance provides a fixed coverage amount with premiums and benefits that won’t change as you grow older. The policy can build cash value over time — which you can apply toward a paid-in-full life policy or even borrow against later. Other benefits include guaranteed coverage, family options, additional payments for covered accident-related claims and early payouts for terminal illness.

  • Whole Life is the ideal coverage for people who want coverage to stay consistent over their lifetime.
  • Coverage and coverage amounts stay the same as long as you make payments.
  • Payments stay consistent throughout the life of the policy.

Costs, eligibility and waiting periods before benefits are dispersed can vary depending on your plan. Talk to your human resources representative for more details.

See how Whole Life Insurance can provide peace of mind

Michael’s employer provides a basic amount of Term Life Insurance, which was enough when he was single. Now he has a family, a mortgage and many other responsibilities. With an easy, affordable paycheck deduction, Michael was able to add Whole Life Insurance to his benefits plan. With this coverage, he knows his family will be better protected if he dies. His policy will also gain cash value, so Michael and his family will have additional financial options as they grow older.

How Michael’s plan works:

If Michael dies, his loved ones can use the money for:

  • Mortgage
  • School tuition
  • Final expenses
  • Monthly bills

Michael might also appreciate these benefits:

  • A guaranteed interest rate
  • The ability to borrow against the cash value
  • Flexibility to use the cash value for a paid-in-full, smaller policy later in life

If Michael has a plan with a “living” benefit:
 He could receive up to 100% of his benefit amount if he is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
