The Power of Living Benefits in NC
A Financial Lifeline When You Need It Most
Living Benefits transform your term life insurance into active protection—giving you access to a portion of your death benefit if you’re diagnosed with a critical, chronic, or terminal illness. Unlike traditional policies, this feature (included at no extra cost) ensures your family’s financial security and your own, offering tax-free funds for medical bills, income replacement, or experimental treatments.
Why North Carolina Families Rely on This Safety Net
With healthcare costs in NC rising faster than the national average, Living Benefits provide a crucial buffer. Whether facing cancer, stroke, or organ failure, policyholders can accelerate 25–100% of their benefit—without waiting or lengthy approvals. It’s not just insurance; it’s a guarantee that hardship won’t drain your savings when you’re most vulnerable.

How much Term coverage does the average NC family need?
A common rule of thumb is 10-15x your annual income. However, the best way to find your specific number is to account for your unique debts, future income needs, and legacy goals. We highly recommend using our free, anonymous Human Life Value Calculator
Is this the same as Long-Term Care insurance?
No. While it can help pay for care, it’s not as comprehensive as a dedicated Long-Term Care policy.
