Who needs life insurance?

If anyone relies on you financially — whether through income or contributions like home management or childcare — then you and your family need life insurance.

How do I get a life insurance policy?

Start by determining how much you need, for how long, and what you can afford to pay. Then, identify the best policies that meet your needs.

When is the best time to get life insurance?

If you don’t have life insurance, the best time to get it is today. Life insurance is cheaper and easier to get when you’re younger and healthier. However, Armed Forces Mutual can help you protect your dependents and cover your financial obligations with policies made for every stage of your military life and beyond.

Should my spouse and I both have life insurance?

Both you and your spouse should consider life insurance if either of you contributes financially or provides essential caregiving. Dual coverage ensures financial support for living expenses, debts, or childcare in the event of a passing.

What’s the difference between term life and whole life insurance?

Term life insurance covers a specified period and pays a death benefit if the insured dies during that time. It typically has lower premiums than whole life insurance.

 

Whole life insurance offers coverage for life as long as premiums are paid. It typically includes a cash value component that grows over time, allowing you to build savings within the policy.

Is life insurance taxable?

Life insurance payouts are typically not taxable for beneficiaries, allowing them to receive the full amount without taxes. However, taxes may apply if the policyholder's estate exceeds the federal estate tax exemption or if the benefit was transferred for value.
