Who We Serve
Life Insurance for Teachers
Most school districts provide a small group life benefit — often a flat amount like $20,000 or one times salary. It is a genuine benefit and it is almost never enough, and it does not follow you if you change districts or retire.
Not sure which fits?
Answer a few questions and we'll point you to the right coverage.
What do district coverage typically misses?
Group benefits are designed as a baseline, not as a family plan.
Face amounts are usually far below what the DIME calculation produces
Coverage ends or reduces sharply at retirement or on leaving the district
Spouse and child riders on group plans are typically minimal
The benefit is not portable between districts or states
What can individual coverage add to employer benefits?
A personally owned term policy stays with you regardless of where you teach, locks the premium at your current age and health, and can be sized properly to your mortgage and your children. For teachers in their twenties and thirties the cost is generally modest.
What should you know about Pension considerations?
Teachers on a state pension should look carefully at survivor benefit elections. Choosing a reduced pension to provide a survivor benefit is one option; keeping the full pension and buying life insurance to protect the spouse is another. The second is sometimes materially better, and it is worth running both.
Why work with an independent agent?
A captive agent usually represents one company. Our network includes 20+ top-rated carriers, with available options depending on your state and profile. We help compare quotes for coverage and underwriting fit at no cost for comparison, without guaranteeing approval or the lowest price. Policy premiums apply.
