What is Return of Premium life insurance?
A Return of Premium life insurance policy offers protection for either 20 or 30 years; you select how long you need the coverage. We will return your premium back after 20 or 30 years. Or, after year 20 or 30, you will have the option to never have to pay another premium and have a reduced, paid-up life insurance policy.
Another benefit of this life insurance policy is that the cash value amount is guaranteed to be there at the end of 20 years. * There is no risk in this policy; as long as you continue to pay the premium, you will receive the cash surrender value equal to the premium paid, income tax-free! **
Return of Premium life insurance policies are unique and can be customized to meet your specific situation. Want more information about a Return of Premium life insurance policy? Find an agent or contact your Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance agent to learn more.
When asked about life insurance, most individuals are aware that if they pass away their beneficiary will receive the life insurance proceeds. But the question that many people may be thinking is, “What happens if I don’t prematurely die? What’s in it for me?”
We call it life insurance for a reason. The Return of Premium life insurance policy provides you with multiple living benefits, as well as death protection in the event of a premature death.
A real-life testimony to a Return of Premium life insurance policy
One policyholder shared this story with one of our Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance agents when discussing a Return of Premium life insurance policy:
“I asked my friend why he purchased a Return of Premium life Insurance policy from his Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance agent, and the answer amazed me. He said, ‘So I can go to Scotland when I retire. That has always been my dream, the #1 item on my bucket list is to play golf in Scotland!!’ I asked how buying life insurance for your family in case you die helps you get to Scotland.
My friend shared that the Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance agent explained that life insurance has living benefits that guarantee if he does not unexpectedly pass away, after 20 years he will get all the money paid into the policy back! In 20 years, he will be 63 years old, and is guaranteed to receive $41,150 cash value income tax free (all 20 annual premiums back), and a large portion of that tax-free lump sum income is what he plans to utilize for his 2-week trip to Scotland!
He went on to share how much he loved his family. He explained that purchasing a $250,000 life policy for them if he dies adds peace of mind. However, it also guarantees that if he doesn’t prematurely die that he will reward himself by purchasing this type of policy.
With a Return of Premium policy, he could go to Scotland as a result of the same decision he made to protect his family. Knowing how he will benefit as he takes care of and loves his family, no matter the situation, made the experience of purchasing life insurance unique.”
Life insurance can provide income for your loved ones if you die. However, just like the individual above plans, the Return of Premium life insurance policy guarantees that you can utilize the living benefits of life insurance for yourself! With a Return of Premium life insurance policy, you can be the beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
How do you want to utilize your living benefits and at the same time provide protection for your beneficiary?
Did you know that a Return of Premium life insurance policy can provide you with living benefits?
Typically, there are four living benefits to life insurance that pay you back. These living benefits could include:
Cash accumulation that can supplement your income as a lump-sum distribution, monthly income or a combination of both.
If, later in life, you need less life insurance than initially required, you can request that your policy become reduced paid-up life insurance. Reduced paid-up life insurance is designed with a guarantee that you will never have to pay another premium.
You may also opt-in to a combination of both and receive a cash value to supplement your income and a reduced paid-up life insurance policy.
If the insured is diagnosed as terminally ill, they can receive almost all of their life insurance death benefit while they are still alive.
