What is Group Term Life Insurance?
It's a type of insurance that issues a specific amount of money to beneficiaries upon your death.
The one offered by the Club is a 5 year, guaranteed renewable, group term. Term life insurance is the original form of life insurance
and is considered to be pure insurance protection because it builds no cash value.
Once approved, the plan cannot be cancelled or terminated for any reason other than by the policyholder or for nonpayment of premiums.
The premiums change once every five years.
Why get life insurance?
Even if you're not supporting a family, there are many reasons to have life insurance. Life insurance can be used to pay off any outstanding mortgage balance.
It can be used to replace the lost income so the survivor can maintain the same standard of living. Why burden your loved ones with funeral expenses, burial cost, and medical bills?
