Limited pay life 10, 15, 20 year

The coverage lasts. The premiums don't. These policies can be completely paid for in 10, 15 or 20 years. If purchased early enough in life, they'll help you avoid paying premiums during your retirement. That's the beauty of Limited Pay Life policies from State Farm. You could secure a lifetime of life-enhancing benefits, without paying a lifetime of premiums.

Did you know? A limited payment life policy is ideal for a child - in addition to starting insurance coverage they will need as an adult, the policy earns cash value, which generally grows tax-deferred.

How it works

Premiums on limited payment life insurance are paid for a limited number of years, but the benefits last a lifetime.

  • Premiums are payable for 10, 15 or 20 years depending on the policy selected.
  • You can pay premiums monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.
  • Guaranteed cash value grows tax-deferred. Cash values can be accessed during your lifetime.footnote 1
  • The policy is eligible to earn dividends; however, dividends are not guaranteed. Dividends can accumulate at interest, purchase paid-up additional insurance, reduce future premiums, or be payable in cash. The choice is yours.footnote 2
  • No matter how large your death benefit, it passes to your beneficiaries generally income tax-free.
  • If you have auto insurance with State Farm, purchasing a State Farm Limited Pay Life policy may entitle you to a discount on your auto premiums with our multi-line discount.

And typically, the sooner you purchase your limited payment life policy, the lower your premiums will be. Talk to a State Farm agent for details on costs, coverages and restrictions.

Waiver of Premium for Disability

Helps preserve your policy at a time when income may be limited due to a disability. If the base insured becomes totally disabled (as defined in the policy) prior to age 60 for six continuous months, this optional coverage will waive future policy premiums as they become due as long as the insured remains totally disabled. If the base insured becomes disabled between the ages of 60 and 65, this coverage will waive future policy premiums as they become due until the later of the third anniversary after disability and age 65, so long as the base insured continues to be so disabled. This rider coverage automatically terminates on the policy anniversary when the insured is age 65, unless disability occurs prior to that time.

Eligibility

Ages: 0–59

Guaranteed Insurability Option

Insure your insurability! Buy additional amounts of insurance on specific option dates, without a medical exam, at standard rates. When you marry or become a parent, you may exercise the next available option. The Waiver of Premium for Disability Rider must be included on the policy to add this rider. Option ages are 17, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46 and 49.

Eligibility

Coverage: $25,000–$100,000 (may not exceed the amount of the Basic Plan)

Ages: 0–37

Payor insurance

If you've purchased a life policy for a child — and you become disabled (as defined in the policy) or pass on — this rider allows premiums to be waived on that policy for a period of time. Premiums will be waived until the rider expires or in the case of disability, until the purchaser recovers from the disability, whichever occurs first. (Disability of the purchaser must occur before age 60.) Rider remains in force until the insured child reaches age 25.
