There are three main questions when it comes to life insurance:

  3. What is covered

Having a life insurance policy can be the solid foundation that you need for your financial security and since there are different needs for different people Mass Mutual has a very broad life insurance product portfolio to help meet everyone’s needs and provide the financial protection you expect from a life insurance policy.

What is it?

Life insurance is a form of financial protection that will allow your beneficiaries that count on your financial support that money once you die. There are some other policies that will have an accumulation of cash which offers the cash benefit that is able to be used during your lifetime for:

  • Supplementing retirement income
  • Funding your child’s education
  • Cash for emergencies
  • More

Who needs it?

There are often people in your life that depends not just on you the person but your income. If you have loved ones that rely on your income the life insurance policy is going to make sure that they are able to meet their financial needs are met upon your death.

What is covered?

The basic premise of the life insurance policy is to pay a designated amount to your listed beneficiary after your death so long as you keep your policy in force and pay your premiums on time. There are also other polices that will offer additional features and benefits. Some of those are discussed below.

The Types of Life Insurance

Term Life

Term life insurance is perfect for someone that has a need for life insurance just for a specific time period for a lower price than what would be paid for another type of life insurance. Usually this is really good for young people that need life insurance but aren’t prepared for the higher dollar amount of the other policies. This policy has no cash accumulation and if the insured lives through the policy period the policy ends if not renewed. It’s like your auto policy; you only get money out of it if you have to use it.

Permanent Life

With others that want some of the additional security as well as flexibility that having a lifetime life insurance policy has to offer the permanent life insurance policy needs to be purchased. People are going to find that their objectives are able to be met in the best way with having a combination of both term and perm life insurance. The following are the different types of permanent life insurance.

Whole Life

The whole life insurance policy is going to provide that lifetime protection so long as the policy is kept in force. The whole life policy offers you some guarantees that you’re not going to find in other types of life insurance. These include guaranteed premiums (not to increase) as well as a guaranteed cash value growth and a guaranteed death benefit.

Universal Life

The universal life insurance policy also provides lifetime protection so long as the policy is kept in force. Additionally it comes with flexibility that always choices as a person’s needs and the finances change. This policy type will offer options with the coverage amounts allowing them to either be increased or decreased and also allows you to vary premiums based upon finances so long as the account holds enough funds to pay for both the administrative charges and the monthly insurance premium cost.

Variable Universal Life

The variable universal life insurance policy is another type of lifetime protection as long as the policy is kept in force. This type of policy allows for a flexible premium and has the combination of both the death benefit protection along with having the ability to allocate both net premiums and the account values among the divisions of the Separate Account and Guaranteed Principal Account.
