Should I purchase whole life, or term life insurance?



Term life insurance allows you to get more coverage for
less money today

Competitive and affordable rates

Convenient payroll deduction

Good to have during your working years
Whole life insurance allows you to secure coverage at an
affordable premium for your entire life

Premiums do not increase

At age 80 and beyond have the same policy at the
same price
Since these policies work differently, many employees are
well suited to purchase a policy of both types so that
multiple needs in their financial picture are addressed

Why consider two life plans?

As you go through different life stages, one life insurance policy probably won't meet all your needs. Unum's group term
life and interest-sensitive whole life insurance options both provide a death benefit. But they also offer some additional
features that make them quite different.

For example, group term life coverage offers affordable coverage for your working years. But this coverage may end if you
leave your employer or retire. Interest-sensitive whole life can accumulate cash value. You can use that to purchase a
paid-in-full policy later in life for a lower benefit amount. Since you own this policy, you can keep it if you leave your job or
retire.

Depending on your needs, you may wish to apply for one or both of these life benefits:

burden your family
