Living benefits

The paycheck stops.
The mortgage doesn't.

Most life insurance only pays after you're gone. A policy with living benefits can also pay you part of the money early after a qualifying heart attack, cancer or stroke, so the bills get paid while you recover.

Heart attack

Cancer

Stroke

Living benefits are paid through accelerated benefit riders. What qualifies, how much is paid and how it affects the death benefit vary by plan and state. Not every plan or applicant qualifies.

How it pays

  1. 1

    You're diagnosed.

    A qualifying illness takes you off the job.

  2. 2

    The policy pays you.

    Part of the benefit comes to you early. Spend it on the mortgage, the truck payment or the groceries.

  3. 3

    The rest stays for your family.

    What you don't use is still there for the people you chose.

Example rates: 20-year term, healthy non-smoking man of the age shown, based on published market averages. Your price depends on age, health, tobacco use, coverage and plan. Health questions apply. No exam for many applicants.

Covered through the job?

The life insurance from the job doesn't retire when you do.

Coverage through an employer or a union usually ends, or shrinks, when you change jobs, get laid off or retire. A private policy is yours. It goes with you from job to job.

  • Yours, not an employer's
  • Goes with you from job to job
  • Rate locked for the full term

Tradesman Life Group is not affiliated with any union or employer.

Questions

Straight answers.

What are living benefits?

A feature on many life insurance policies that lets you take part of the death benefit early if you are diagnosed with a qualifying serious illness, such as a heart attack, cancer or stroke. What qualifies and how much is paid vary by plan and state.

Do I need a medical exam?

Often not. Many plans are approved from health questions and records, with no exam. Some coverage amounts and health histories do need one. Your advisor will tell you up front.

I already have life insurance through work or my union. Why would I need this?

Coverage through the job usually ends or shrinks when you leave, get laid off or retire. A private policy stays with you wherever you work, and many people keep both.

Does a physical job make it cost more?

For most trades, no. The price is mostly set by your age, health and tobacco use. A few kinds of work can affect the rate with some insurance companies, so your advisor checks which company treats your trade best.
