What Is Term Life Insurance with Living Benefits?

 

Term life insurance is the most affordable way to protect your loved ones financially in case something happens to you. It provides coverage for a set period—usually 10, 20, or 30 years—and pays out a tax-free death benefit to your beneficiaries if you pass during that time.

But here’s what many people don’t know: some term policies now come with Living Benefits—and this feature changes everything.

What Are Living Benefits?

 

Living Benefits allow you to access part of your death benefit while you’re still alive if you're diagnosed with:

• A critical illness (heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc.)

• A chronic illness (like needing long-term care)

• A terminal illness (typically with 12–24 months to live)

​

This means your policy isn’t just there for your family after you’re gone—it’s there for you when you need it most.

 

Why We Recommend It

For most of our clients, term with living benefits is the first thing we look for—especially for young families. It’s affordable and offers real protection while you’re still building wealth.

Example: A healthy 30-year-old male can get $250,000 of a 30-year term with living benefits for around $30/month. That’s peace of mind for less than a dollar a day.

​

Who Is It For? Ask Yourself:

• Do I have a family that relies on my income?

• Would a major illness derail my finances or drain my savings?

• Am I looking for an affordable way to protect my future without overpaying for coverage?

• Do I want flexibility in case life takes an unexpected turn?
