Top 5 questions about life insurance


Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period of time and then could renew. Permanent life insurance provides coverage for life. 


A death benefit is the amount paid to your beneficiary if you die while your life insurance plan is in effect. A living benefit is the amount paid to you when you meet certain conditions. For example, you can receive part of your CoverMe Life Insurance death benefit while you are alive if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live. 


There are two main ways to help your family pay off your mortgage if you pass away: mortgage life insurance and term life insurance. 

Mortgage life insurance typically pays the death benefit to the lender. The coverage amount declines as your mortgage balance decreases, but your premiums stay the same. If you switch mortgage providers, you generally have to reapply for mortgage life insurance.

Term life insurance pays the death benefit to your beneficiary, not the lender, and your beneficiary can decide how to spend the money. The coverage amount and your premiums stay the same during your plan's term. You own your coverage so you can keep it if you switch mortgage providers.


Term life insurance premiums stay the same during your plan's term. They increase when your plan renews at the end of a term.


You can generally keep renewing term life insurance without medical questions until you reach the maximum age set for your plan.
