The Hidden Power of Protection:
Benefits of Term Life Insurance with Living Benefits
So, when people hear “life insurance,” many think of death benefits. Or payments to loved ones after they’re gone. Your policy can offer support while you’re still living? Welcome to the world of term life insurance with living benefits. It’s a powerful yet often overlooked financial tool.
What Is Term Life Insurance with Living Benefits?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a set period—typically 10, 20, or 30 years. Then, if you pass away during that term, your beneficiaries receive a lump sum payment. It’s affordable, popular among families and young professionals. Yet, 99% of term policies never payout. Most people can’t afford the next term. Others, no longer feel the need for the term insurance when the term period ends. Living benefits, also known as accelerated benefit riders, change the picture. How do they do that? They allow you to access a portion of your death benefit while you’re still alive if you’re diagnosed with certain serious illnesses or conditions.

Are there drawbacks to Living Benefits? Sure there are. In order to pay for certain illnesses or conditions your death benefit will be reduced. In some cases, this may leave only a small amount for burial expenses.

Key Benefits of Term Life with Living Benefits

Rehabilitation expenses
Lost income
Cover Mortgage costs

II. Financial Flexibility During a Health Crisis
