What is LifeTime Benefit Term?

Life insurance provides your family with money after your death. This money will help your family meet continuing financial needs that would have been provided by your income. It can help pay a mortgage, household bills, school expenses, childcare costs or ensure that your dependents are not burdened with debt. In addition to providing a tax-free life insurance death benefit, LifeTime Benefit Term gives you the option to receive an accelerated payment of your life insurance coverage to help cover the costs associated with nursing home, assisted living, and even in-home care. LifeTime Benefit Term is a great way to protect your most important asset and help provide the peace-of-mind your family deserves.
