Living Benefits

Life insurance you don't have to die to use. Protect your financial future while you are still here to experience it.

What Are Living Benefits?

Traditional life insurance is designed to support your loved ones after you pass away. However, modern policies offer Living Benefits—riders that allow you to access a portion of your death benefit early if you experience a qualifying medical event. This cash can be used for medical bills, mortgage payments, daily expenses, or anything else you need to maintain your quality of life during a difficult time.

Because I partner exclusively with top-tier, A-rated carriers, nearly 100% of the policies I write automatically include critical, terminal, and disability living benefits at no additional premium cost to you. If a qualifying health event occurs, you can access up to 80% of your policy's face value while you are still alive.

Critical Illness

Provides an advance on your death benefit if you are diagnosed with a major health event. This helps cover high out-of-pocket medical costs, experimental treatments, or lost income during recovery.

  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Invasive Cancer
  • Major Organ Transplant
  • End-Stage Renal Failure

Terminal Illness

Allows you to accelerate your death benefit if you are diagnosed with a terminal condition with a limited life expectancy (typically 12 to 24 months, depending on the state and carrier).

This benefit offers financial peace of mind, allowing you to seek specialized care, pay off debts, or spend precious time with family without financial stress.

Chronic Illness & Disability

Triggers when you are unable to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or suffer severe cognitive impairment, requiring assistance and care.

  • Bathing & Dressing
  • Eating & Feeding
  • Toileting & Continence
  • Transferring (moving in/out of bed)
  • Cognitive Impairment Support

Riders & Additional Protections

Riders are optional add-ons to your life insurance policy that customize your coverage to fit your family's unique needs. Here are some valuable riders to consider:

Orphan Rider

A unique and compassionate rider that provides additional financial support or monthly benefits for insured children if both parents pass away. It ensures that designated guardians have immediate financial assistance to care for the children's upbringing, education, and daily needs.

Other Essential Riders

Waiver of Premium: Pauses your premium payments if you become totally disabled, keeping your policy active without cost.

Accidental Death Benefit: Pays an additional benefit to your beneficiaries if death is caused by an accident.

Children's Term Rider: Provides term life insurance coverage for your children under your policy, which can later be converted to permanent coverage.
