What is term life insurance and how does it work?
Term life insurance is just what it sounds like—insurance that offers coverage for a set term, such as 10, 20, or 30 years. If you pass away during the term, the issuing insurance company pays a death benefit to your beneficiaries. If you pass away after the policy expires, no death benefit is paid.
Term life coverage is usually the most affordable type of life insurance. Like other types of life insurance, it helps replace your income so your loved ones can cover funeral costs, mortgage payments, everyday expenses, education costs, and more.
