Answers to frequently asked questions

Q. What kind of insurance does the Whole Life Plan provide?: A.
This individual, non-group policy is whole life insurance that builds cash value.
Q. How much coverage does the whole life insurance policy provide?: A.
You decide how much you want to spend on your monthly insurance premium. You can choose a $25,000, $50,000, $75,000, $100,000, $125,000 or $150,000 policy.
Q. Can Gerber Life cancel my whole life insurance policy?: A.
Once coverage begins and for as long as the premiums are paid, the company cannot cancel the insurance for any reason. Only you can cancel the coverage.
Q. What is cash value?: A.
As the years go by, the whole life insurance policy accumulates cash value as long as premiums are paid. This is money that is available if there is ever a need for ready cash. The amount of money depends on your age, how long you have had your insurance and the policy's benefit amount.
Q. Can I use the cash value if I need it?: A.
Yes, you can turn in the policy and receive the cash value available at that time from Gerber Life.
Q. What is loan value?: A.
As a policyholder, you can borrow money at an interest rate of 8% per year from the cash value you have accrued as long as premiums are paid. This is a benefit you can use when you need some ready cash but don’t want to give up your insurance.
Q. Do I have to pay back the loan?: A.
You don’t have to pay back the loan if you don’t want to. In that case, the amount you owe is simply deducted when the death benefit is paid or from the cash value when the policy is cashed in.
Q. What is paid-up insurance?: A.
Paid-up insurance means that by using the cash value you’ve built up, you can stop paying premiums and still keep some of your coverage. The amount of paid-up insurance you are eligible for depends on how long you have had your insurance and your age when you stop paying premiums.
Q. How much will the premiums be?: A.
The cost of your regular monthly premium is based on your age at the time of application and where you live. Get your free quote by completing the form above. Premiums quoted are based on applicant’s tobacco use and assumed good health. Other premiums are available.
Q. Will my premiums increase as I get older?: A.
No. Your monthly premium will remain the same as when you started your whole life insurance policy. The cost will never increase.
Q. Who can purchase the policy?: A.
This policy is available to anyone age 18 to 65. No medical exam is required if you are 18 to 50 and in basic good health. If you are 51 or older and applying for $100,000 or more of whole life insurance, or require a medical exam for any other reason, Gerber Life will pay to have a specially trained person meet with you.
