In its simplest form, life insurance is a promise between an insurance company and you, the policy owner. If you pay a certain amount of money (premium) to the insurance company, the insurance company will pay a certain amount of money (death benefit) to the person (beneficiary) you tell us to when the person whose life is being insured dies.
There are many types of life insurance. Term insurance only provides a death benefit for a limited period of time. By contrast permanent insurance can provide a death benefit and the potential to build policy cash value that you can access during your lifetime using policy loans and withdrawals.1 Permanent insurance can also offer the flexibility to increase or decrease your death benefit as your needs change, as well as the potential to reduce or skip premium payments.2

Before you can purchase life insurance, you need to qualify for it.
We will ask you to provide us with information that we then use in what is called underwriting. This is the process that an insurance company uses to determine risk.
Second, all of this information is provided to an underwriter. An underwriter is someone who is specially trained to assess your application and determine what risk, if any, may exist. Once all of your information has been reviewed, the company will either approve or deny your request. That process can take days or weeks depending on the information received.
Lastly, your agent will contact you and go over the results of your underwriting and details of your policy.
