You can convert your policy: You can convert all or part of your policy to permanent whole life insurance at any point. After your level term period ends, your coverage becomes annually renewable, with rates increasing annually.
You have a backup plan for paying your premium: You can select a waiver of premium rider, which means that if you are unable to pay your premium under approved circumstances, GBU will pay it for you!
You can cover the whole family: GBU's Select Choice Term series offers both spousal and child riders, allowing the whole family to be covered under one policy.
You have a safety net for medical bills: If your policy is for $100,000 or more, you can add the Living Benefits Rider, which allows you to access part of your policy's death benefit to help with medical bills in the case of certain health events such as a terminal or critical illness.
