Graded Death Benefit Frequently Asked Questions
Graded death benefit is a type of insurance designed for people who may not qualify for traditional life insurance due to age or health conditions. It provides coverage with a modified payout structure during the first few years of the policy.
If the insured passes away from natural causes within the first two years of the policy, the beneficiary typically receives a percentage of the death benefit or a return of premiums plus interest. After the graded period, the policy pays the full death benefit.
This type of policy is often a good fit for individuals with health conditions, older applicants, or those who have been turned down for traditional life insurance but still want coverage to protect loved ones.
Premiums are generally higher than traditional life insurance because it accepts applicants with greater health risks. Costs vary based on age, health, coverage amount, and other factors. Speak with one of our agents today who can provide a personalized quote.
