Should I remit money with my term life application?
Author: Byron UdellThere is an advantage to submitting money with your term life application. Many people don’t realize that coverage does not begin until the first premium has been paid. It’s unfortunate, but we have seen many untimely deaths happen when people were in the midst of the application process.
Most companies will provide some temporary conditional coverage during the application process if certain conditions are met and the first premium is paid. A full refund during the application process is always your choice.
Since there is absolutely no risk to you by doing this when the insurance company allows, making that first payment with your application will get your loved ones protected sooner.
