What is Death Benefit Insurance?

Death benefit insurance is a type of life insurance that only provides a death benefit payout with no cash value inside your policy.

While permanent or whole life insurance may build cash value inside the policy, and provide a death benefit, term life insurance is death benefit only life insurance.

Term life is temporary life insurance lasting for a specific period of time.

If the insured person dies while the policy is In Force, the death benefit is paid out to the beneficiary of the insurance policy.

Because term life is temporary coverage and only provides a death benefit, it costs a lot less than whole or permanent life insurance plans.
