Term Life in Fort Campbell, answered
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance pays a death benefit to your beneficiary if you pass away during a set term, usually 10, 20 or 30 years, in exchange for a level premium. There is no cash value, which keeps the premium lower than permanent coverage.
What happens when the term ends?
If you outlive the term, coverage simply ends unless you renew it, which is usually at a higher rate, or convert a portion to a permanent policy where the carrier allows it.
Do I need a medical exam for term life?
Some term policies require a paramedical exam, while simplified-issue options are available with just health questions. Les can match you to the option that fits your timeline.
How much term life coverage do I need?
A common starting point is 10 to 12 times your annual income, adjusted for debts like a mortgage and future costs like college. Les can help size a number that fits your household.
I am leaving Fort Campbell. Is VGLI my only option?
No. VGLI is guaranteed if you apply within 240 days of separation, which matters most if you have a service-connected condition. If you are healthy, a private term policy holds a level premium for the whole term, while VGLI premiums rise every five years. Compare both before the 240-day window closes.
