WHY IT MATTERS

Coverage that moves with your career

Unlike group benefits that end when you change jobs, personal term life insurance stays with you — and Living Benefits protect you even while you're working.

Go beyond work benefits

Employer group life typically covers 1–2× your salary. A personal policy closes that gap and stays with you if you leave your job, change careers, or start a business.

Protect income & bills

Your income is your most valuable asset. A policy sized to your income ensures rent, loans, and lifestyle expenses are covered for your dependents.

Help during a serious illness

Living Benefits may allow you to access part of your death benefit early if you're diagnosed with a qualifying illness — protecting your income even before a claim.

THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE

For most professionals, no. Employer group life insurance typically provides 1–2× your annual salary. Financial planners generally recommend 10–12× your income to properly replace your earning potential and cover debt and family expenses.

Personal term life insurance is yours regardless of where you work. Employer group life ends when your employment ends — often right when a career transition makes things financially stressful.

If you're diagnosed with a qualifying critical, chronic, or terminal illness, Living Benefits may allow you to access a portion of your death benefit early. This is not disability insurance, but it can provide meaningful financial relief during a serious illness.

The best time to get personal life insurance is when you're young and healthy — premiums are at their lowest. Locking in a rate now protects you from future premium increases if your health changes.
