LIFE INSURANCE FOR SENIORS OVER 70

Age is one of the elements that impacts the cost of life insurance. Everything else being equal, the older you are, the more expensive the policy will be. Consequently, the longer you wait to get life insurance the more expensive it will be.  Even if you have waited this long to get life insurance, the good news is that it is still possible to get life insurance protection. First, you always can decide on a fully underwritten policy, which in many cases will be the least costly, and submit yourself to a medical exam. With the results of a medical exam the insurance company will have a better understanding of your health situation and thus be able to offer you the best possible premium based on your medical exam results. Or, for whatever reason, you may opt for a no-medical exam policy. What is important to know is  that, depending on your health situation, you could still get life insurance even if you are 70, or even above 70 years of age. One possible answer is SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE, which are whole life policies that do not require a medical exam but for the applicant to simply answer a few health questions.   Your answers to these health questions will determine whether or not you qualify for a SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE policy. After the death of a loved one, many families are faced with unexpected expenses, including medical bills, funeral expenses, legal fees and unpaid bills.  There are a handful, or so, of life insurance companies that offer SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE, which provide the funds to help the family with these expenses, if there are not enough resource in your estate.

If you qualify, you can have immediate protection or graded protection. On a typical policy, and as long as the required premium is paid on a timely basis, the insurance company cannot cancel the policy, cannot reduce your benefits and cannot increase your premium, regardless of the level of benefit approved. Immediate protection means exactly what it says, namely, the entire benefit is paid on day one if the insured dies.  But, what if you do not qualify for immediate protection? For most individuals who do not qualify for immediate coverage, there is an alternative. You may qualify for a policy that provides GRADED BENEFITS. Under GRADED BENEFIT the policy will pay a fraction of the death benefit if the insured dies within the first year from the policy issue date (for instance, return of premium plus 5%); a greater fraction of the death benefit is paid if the insured dies on the second year of the policy(for instance, the greater of return of premium plus 10%, or 50% of the face amount); and, then, on year 3 and thereafter, 100% of the death benefit is paid. There are other variations of this formula, but not too different.

How do you know if you qualify for  LEVEL (immediate) BENEFIT, or for GRADED BENEFIT? A typical SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE policy contains a one-page (usually) questionnaire with health-related questions. It has either two parts of three parts. If you answer “NO” to any of the questions on the first part you will not qualify for any benefits under the policy. As an example of what the questions in part one are:

  • Do you use a wheelchair, other than for a temporary impairment expected to last less than 2 months?
  • Do you receive assistance with daily activities such as taking medications, bathing, dressing, eating or toileting? Home health care or hospice care?
  • In the past 5 years – have you been diagnosed with, or received treatment for an organ or tissue transplant, Alzhemire’s disease, dementia, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Have you tested positive to HIV, or been diagnosed with having ARC or AIDS caused by the HIV infection, or other sickness or disease derived from such infection?
  • In the last 12 months – have you used oxygen to assist with breathing? Received kidney dialysis?

If you answered “NO” to all of the above (typical) questions (they vary from insurance company to insurance company), then you will move to Part 2 and sometimes Part 3, which will determine if  you are eligible for LEVEL BENEFIT or GRADED BENEFIT.

At present, SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE (sometimes referred to as “final expense insurance“) is issued up to age 85 and in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $75,000.

We hope that this post has been helpful to you.  If you have any questions, would like a life insurance quote, or would like to initiate the process of filing a life insurance application with one of the insurance companies that offer SIMPLIFIED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE, please, e-mail us at info@insuranceglobe.net , or call us at either of these numbers:

Life Insurance and Foreign Travel

If you travel to any of the countries on the U.S. Department of State current travel warning list there is a good chance you will be declined for life insurance.  However, certain states do not allow insurance companies to rate or decline their residents soley for foreign travel.  For example, we just worked on a case for a Georgia resident who is going to Iran for 2 months.  Ordinarily, he would have been declined, but we were able to write him at super preferred, because he is a resident of Georgia.  Other states that have restrictions are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusets, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington (state).  Not every life insurance company interprets these laws the same, so you need to know which insurance company to go with.  For example, one insurance company we spoke with wanted to add $7.50 per every $1,000 of death benefit.  In this case, the client wanted $200,000 of coverage, so he would have had to pay an additional $1,500 per year.  This is an area that many agents do not come across frequently and therefore do not have the experience to handle such a case properly.  If you are planning on traveling to a high risk country and you need life insurance, please call InsuranceGlobe.net at 1-888-950-TERM.
