What to Know About Children's Life Insurance
What kind of insurance is this?
Whole Life or Universal Life policies build cash value. The life insurance coverage is good for a lifetime, regardless of changes in their health, if they enlist in the military or if they choose a hazardous occupation.
Do parents and grandparents really need life insurance for their children or grandchildren even if they're still young?
Yes. A serious illness or accident could make life insurance very expensive, even unavailable, for children when they are adults. Why wait? You can avoid paying expensive premiums later by starting protection now and locking in the lowest rate for life.
How much paperwork will I have to fill out to apply for coverage?
Hardly any. It's a simplified application with a few medical questions. Electronic medical records are utilized through the MIB system.
Once the coverage is in effect and the premiums are paid on time, can the life insurance policy ever be canceled for any reason?
No. Your child's life insurance policy will never be canceled, and the benefits will never be reduced as long as the premiums are paid on time.
Who can apply for children's life insurance for a child?
If you're a parent, grandparent or legal guardian, you can begin the important coverage for your young loved ones.
What happens after I apply?
After the application is approved, a policy will be issued and the first premium payment will be drafted, placing the policy in force. You will have 30 days (free-look period) to review it in the comfort your home. The monthly premiums will be based on your child or grandchild's current age. The rate will be locked in for life and it will not increase because of changes in age, health or occupation, unless you or the adult child initiates changes in the future, such as an increase in death benefit coverage.
