Cons

• Most policies have low coverage limits
• Only three policy types available
• Must be an AARP member to purchase coverage

The AARP program offers permanent and term life insurance with simplified underwriting, which means applicants must just respond to health-related questions rather than a medical examination in order to be eligible. Additionally, whole life insurance is available through the scheme, with universal acceptance. Only AARP members and their spouses may apply for insurance, although anyone who is at least 18 years old may join at that time by paying the $16 annual membership fee.

Term life insurance : Term life insurance is available to AARP members aged 50 to 74 and their spouses aged 45 to 74, and the policy can provide coverage up to age 80. Although the death benefit remains constant throughout the course of the policy, the annual premium goes up every time the covered individual moves into a new five-year age bracket. Candidates cannot tell with certainty how much they will pay for insurance in later age bands because the costs are not guaranteed. Before the age of 80, a term life insurance policy may be changed to permanent coverage. Age will determine the costs for permanent insurance. The $10,000 to $150,000 (or $100,000 in Montana and New York) in coverage amounts offered by the AARP term life insurance can be increased by calling New York Life. Applicants answer a few health questions and provide other health information, but do not have to take a life insurance medical exam.

Guaranteed acceptance whole life insurance: AARP members and their spouses who are between the ages of 50 and 80 are eligible to apply for guaranteed acceptance whole life insurance. Acceptance is certain, and no health-related inquiries are necessary for approval. However, if the insured passes away within the first two years of the policy, just a portion of the death benefit (110% of the premiums paid in most states) is paid out. For an accidental death, the full benefit is given starting on the first day of coverage. The advertised amount of coverage is up to $25,000, however larger alternatives for coverage are available by calling New York Life. Not all states offer guaranteed acceptance for full life insurance.

Whole life insurance:Members of AARP between the ages of 50 and 80, as well as their spouses, may apply for whole life insurance. Although you can cease paying premiums after the policy is deemed paid up, the annual cost remains flat and coverage lasts the entirety of your life (typically at age 95). The online application offers coverage up to $50,000, but higher amounts are available by phoning New York Life. Acceptance is determined by the responses to a few health-related questions.
