Whole Life Insurance
What is whole life insurance?
Whole life insurance is permanent protection that lasts your entire life, at a guaranteed premium rate that will never increase, regardless of your age or health status. One benefit of a whole life insurance policy is that it accumulates cash value that can be borrowed against during your lifetime.
Benefits of whole life insurance with Amica explained:
- Choose your coverage amount – From $25,000 to $1 million or more.
- Customize your coverage – Choose from three plan options to fit your needs.
- Guaranteed level premium – Lock in a guaranteed premium amount that won’t increase, regardless of age, income or health status.
- Guaranteed level protection – Life insurance coverage that will remain in place for your lifetime, as long as you pay your premium.
- Cash value – Accumulates cash value over time that can be borrowed against.
- Terminal illness rider1 – Included free of charge with all Amica life insurance policies, it allows you, the owner, to receive a portion of the death benefit if the insured becomes terminally ill.
Is whole life right for you?
Whole life may be a good fit if you like predictability, stability and want a payment that never changes. It’s also ideal if you’re looking for permanent coverage. A couple of reasons why whole life insurance may be right for you are:
- You want life insurance that remains steady. While you should reevaluate your insurance needs as your life changes, you can keep a whole life policy that you purchased at a younger age and add an additional policy as your needs change.
- You want to accumulate cash value. As you pay your premiums for your whole life insurance policy, the cash value of the policy grows. You can borrow against this amount to even pay future premiums if needed.
- You want tax advantages. If needed, you can borrow from your cash value without current taxation. At your death, the borrowed amount is deducted from the cash value if you haven’t repaid what you borrowed.
Which types of whole life plans are available?2
We offer three different plans, with coverage from $25,000 to $1 million or more, and several payment options, so you can find a whole life policy that fits your needs and budget. Learn more about each product:
