About A Tiaa-Cref Insurance Life Plan

Coverage Details
There are four policies in place to help meet your life insurance needs.
- Level Term: Set amount of life insurance for a pre-agreed upon term. Costs less, but at the end of the term, premiums will rise if coverage is continued. Terms range from 10 to 30 years and benefits range from $100,000 to more than $1 million.
- Annual Renewable: Life insurance policy that renews each year, if desired, without additional medical examinations. The premiums may rise from one year to the next.
- Universal Life: Life insurance policy that allows the holder to accumulate cash value and use that cash for life events along the way.
- Variable Universal Life: Same as Universal Life, but more flexible. Money is invested in high-potential yield categories so there could be excellent gain or extreme loss.
