Term life an affordable option

Term life insurance provides death protection for a stated time period, or term. Since it can be purchased in large amounts for a relatively small initial premium, it is well suited for short-range goals such as coverage to pay off a loan, or providing extra protection during the child-raising years. State Farm Life Insurance Company (not licensed in MA, NY or WI) or State Farm Life and Accident Assurance Company (licensed in NY and WI) can help.

Comparing Term Life Choices

1 Permanent life insurance develops cash value that can be borrowed. Policy loans accrue interest and unpaid policy loans and interest will reduce the death benefit and cash value of the policy. The amount of cash value available will generally depend on the type of permanent policy purchased, the amount of coverage purchased, the length of time the policy has been in force and any outstanding policy loans. There may be tax consequences associated with policy loans. Neither State Farm nor its agents provide tax or legal advice.

2 Your premiums will increase annually to age 95, but will never exceed the maximum premium stated in the policy.

3 Assumes death benefit has not been paid during initial policy term. The Return of Premium benefit on the base policy is not taxable. Any Waiver of Premium for Disability premiums returned as part of the Return of Premium benefit may be taxable.

4 Unpaid loans and withdrawals will reduce the Return of Premium and guaranteed death benefit and policy cash value. Loans also accrue interest.

5 Instant Answers offers $50,000 term life coverage for up to age 50, or 10 years (whichever is longer). In-office approval available in minutes with no physical or medical tests required. Issuance of the policy may depend upon the answers to the health questions in the application, the truthfulness thereof and the evidence of insurability.
