Life Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance and Disability Insurance — What’s the Difference?
These three types of insurance can help protect against different financial risks. Understanding the difference can help you decide what coverage may fit your needs.
❤️ LIFE INSURANCE
Life Insurance may provide a benefit to your beneficiary when you pass away, subject to the terms of the policy. It can help families plan for financial responsibilities such as a mortgage, debts, income replacement and future needs.
➕ CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCE
Critical Illness Insurance may provide a lump-sum benefit if you’re diagnosed with a covered condition and meet the policy requirements.
💼 DISABILITY INSURANCE
Disability Insurance may provide monthly income benefits if an illness or injury prevents you from working and you meet the policy’s definition of disability.
Think about three questions:
What happens financially to my family if I pass away?
How would a serious illness affect our finances?
What happens to my income if I can’t work?
Different risks may require different types of financial protection. The appropriate coverage—or combination of coverage—depends on your individual needs, income, family responsibilities, budget and circumstances.
