The Shocking Term Life Insurance Renewal Letter
You go to your mailbox and notice you have a letter from your life insurance company. You open your letter from the life insurance company and to your surprise you now owe nearly 8 times more than what you are were currently paying for life insurance coverage.
Even though this letter is shocking, it is completely normal when it comes to the end of a term life insurance policy. The life insurance company is letting you know that your level term period has come to an end and is now turning into an annual renewable term policy with some very high rates.
Remember the life insurance company made a promise to provide you level rates depending on how long you purchased your term life insurance policy.
This may have been 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. You have the options to pay the high annual renewable rates or can qualify for a new term life insurance renewal with more affordable rates.
IMPORTANT:
If you are paying your current policy by automatic banking withdraw, make sure you call the life insurance company and remove the banking from the policy. You see, the life insurance company will send you a notice letting you know that they will withdraw the increasing premium if you do not remove banking. The life insurance company is assuming you want to continue coverage at the annual renewable rates.

Steps to an Affordable Term Life Insurance Renewal Policy
To begin the process of finding you an affordable policy, we are going to need to look at some important factors.
Has Your Health Change?
One of the most significant factors in determining life insurance rates is your overall health. Think back to when you first purchased your term life insurance policy, have you had any changes in your health throughout the entire time of the policy?
It’s essential to answer this question thinking back to the start of the policy until now. If you had a change but have fully recovered or felt like a million bucks, disclose everything for an accurate quote.
How Much Life Insurance Coverage do you Need?
It’s been sometime now since you purchased your term life insurance policy. The kids are grown, the mortgage has been paid down and debt is hardly there or not as significant.
Do you still need as much insurance coverage as you previously had? Factor in the following when determining your death benefit amount:
- Income replacement for your spouse
- Children or other family members that need financial support
- Mortgage payoff
- Debt payoff
- Estate taxes
How Long do you Need Coverage to Last?
When you have determined an appropriate death benefit amount, you need to ask yourself, “how long do I need the coverage to last for?” Are you nearing retirement?
Maybe something with a shorter duration like 10 or 15-years is all that is needed. Or, maybe you’re still in your early working years and your needs for life insurance are longer making a 20 or 30-year policy a better option.
What Type of Coverage?
Term insurance is always going to be the cheapest form of life insurance coverage, but maybe you don’t want to continue going through the renewal process after each term contract.
If this is the case, consider looking at a lifetime permanent life insurance policy. Although you will pay a higher premium for permanent life insurance, it might make financial sense in the long run.
It’s Time to Search for Affordable Life Insurance Coverage
You have your health class, you know how much coverage you need, you know how long you need coverage and you know what type of coverage you want.
The next step is to get the best price for your coverage by simply using the quote engine located to the right of your screen. The quote engine will display the best price for both term and permanent life insurance. (For more information, read our “Term Life Insurance Quotes“).
If you Cannot Qualify for new Coverage
If you are unable to qualify for new coverage, there is an option to continue paying on the current term policy at an annual renewable rate.
Doing this will eventually become very expensive and may not make financial sense in the long run. Another option that you might have on your existing term policy is called a guaranteed conversion.
Conversion allows you to take your current policy and convert it to a permanent policy without proof of insurability. This means you will get guaranteed approval regardless of your past or present health.
If you need to know if your policy has a conversion option, please contact us and we will check with your life insurance company.
