How life insurance works

Get the coverage that’s right for your needs

No matter where you are in life, you can get coverage that’s right for your needs with options that can help you protect your family’s future.

  • Benefits are typically paid tax-free to the person you choose to receive your benefits.
  • Life insurance policies are portable, so you can keep your coverage if you change jobs or retire.
  • Guaranteed‐issue coverage may be available for some plans, which means no medical questions or exams are required to be eligible for coverage.
