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:
