Term life insurance
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance gives your family some financial protection if something happens to you. It’s typically the simplest and most affordable form of life insurance. It provides coverage for a set amount of time—usually between 10 and 30 years—and the policy proceeds are generally free of federal income tax.
Key benefits
Financial protection for your beneficiaries if something happens to you.
Typically lower cost than permanent life insurance products.
The death benefit to your beneficiaries is generally free of federal income tax.
