    Study Notes

    Types of Life Insurance Coverage

    • Three basic types of coverage: ordinary, industrial, and group insurance.

    Ordinary Life Insurance

    • Individual life insurance encompassing various temporary and permanent protection plans.
    • Premiums can be paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually.
    • Includes types such as whole, term, universal, variable life, and endowment policies.

    Industrial Life Insurance

    • Features small issue amounts (e.g., $1,000) with weekly or monthly premium collections.
    • Designed for industrial workers or those unable to afford larger coverage amounts.
    • Often marketed as burial insurance.

    Group Insurance

    • Coverage provided under one contract for employer-employee groups, associations, unions, and creditors.
    • Underwriting based on the group as opposed to individual assessments.

    Term Life Insurance

    • Low-cost insurance providing coverage for a specified period (term).
    • Benefits payable only if the insured dies during the term; there is no cash value.
    • Example: A $50k 20-year plan pays $50k if the insured dies within the term; otherwise, there is no payout.

    Basic Forms of Term Life

    • Three main forms: level term, decreasing term, and increasing term insurance.

    Level Term Insurance

    • Maintains a fixed (level) amount of protection throughout the policy term.
    • Features level premiums throughout the policy duration.

    Decreasing Term Insurance

    • Death benefits gradually decrease over the policy term.
    • Premiums are level, as illustrated by policies declining in benefit from $50k to $0 over 20 years.

    Credit Life Insurance

    • Based on decreasing term insurance; sold to cover outstanding loan balances.

    Increasing Term Insurance

    • Provides a death benefit that increases at specific intervals during the policy term.
    • Benefits may increase by specific amounts or percentages, often linked to a cost of living index.
    • Typically purchased as a cost of living rider to a policy.

    Options to Extend Term Life Coverage

    • Two options available: renewal and conversion.

    Option to Renew

    • Allows for policy renewal before expiration without new proof of insurability.
    • Renewed premiums will be higher due to increased risk; policies usually offer several renewal periods until a specified age.

    Annually Renewable Term (ART)

    • Provides one-year coverage, renewable each year without proof of insurability.
    • Represents the most basic form of life insurance.

    Option to Convert

    • Permits exchange of a term policy for a whole life plan without evidence of insurability.
    • Conversion may be based on either the insured's age at conversion or the original age at policy issuance.
    • Specific limits on conversion timeframes can apply.

    Combination of Renewal and Conversion Options

    • Policies can combine both options, such as a 10-year convertible renewable policy allowing renewals until age 65 and conversion until age 55.

    Re-entry Term Insurance

    • Initially offers low premium rates for a set period, but renewal requires passing a medical examination at the re-entry date.
