  2. How much life insurance is obtainable?
    Reply

    The amount of insurance chosen depends on who - and what - it is provided for. So, there is no one "right" answer on how much is obtainable. Adding up the cost of things to be provided for by this coverage is a good place to start. These might include things like any bills that may be left behind, or funeral costs.

  3. Is it possible to obtain more coverage on an existing life insurance?
    Reply

    AARP Life Insurance could be a smart choice to obtain more coverage for those who have insurance that appeared to be much in times past but now seems to be less adequate. Also, if seniors are not sure they have enough to take care of the people they care about, they can consider getting more coverage.

  5. Can these premiums be waived in any circumstances?
    Reply

    Yes, payments can be waived but this can only be ordered by a doctor after 180 consecutive days of a nursing home confinement. Under the supervision of a licensed physician, the nursing home must be actively engaged in providing seniors with skilled nursing care. No further payment will be required no matter how long the stay lasts and the coverage will continue in full.

    Seniors may access half of their benefit amount if they are diagnosed with a terminal illness and given life expectancy of 12 or 24 months (as the case may be). This will be paid directly to them to be used in any way they choose.
