Watch the video for an overview of Term Life Insurance.

What does Term Life Insurance cover?

In the event of your passing, Term Life Insurance gives your loved ones a lump-sum payment for expenses like:

  • Funeral/burial expenses
  • Mortgage or rent payments
  • Insurance premiums
  • Childcare and education costs
  • Credit card bills
  • Car payments

This plan also covers Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D).

How does AD&D coverage work?

Say you elected $100,000 in Term Life Insurance.

Example 1: If you were to die in a car crash—but you were wearing a seatbelt and your airbag deployed—your beneficiaries could be eligible to receive:

  • $100,000 (Term Life Insurance)
  • An extra $100,000 (AD&D: Loss of Life)
  • An extra $10,000 (seatbelt)
  • An extra $5,000 (airbag)

Example 2: If you were to die in a commercial airline accident, your beneficiaries could be eligible to receive:

  • $100,000 (Term Life Insurance)
  • An extra $100,000 (AD&D: Loss of Life)
  • An extra $100,000 (Common Carrier benefit)

More benefits

  • Guaranteed issue (you can get coverage without medical questions)
  • Will preparation1
  • Estate resolution services2
  • Portability (so you’re covered even if you leave the company)3
  • Funeral discount and planning services5

What is not covered?

Specific exclusions vary by state. Please see your plan summary to learn more.

Unlike permanent life insurance, Term Life Insurance does not build cash value. That means Term Life Insurance is usually the more affordable option.
