Frequently asked questions

To help you quickly find the answers you need, we've curated responses for the questions we hear most often.

  • Is term life insurance right for me?
    Term life insurance covers individuals for a specific amount of time, for a predetermined dollar amount. This coverage serves as a safety net for a period of years and can provide financial security to those you love if something happens to you. Term life insurance is available to those 18 years and older, US citizens, and permanent residents of the United States.
  • How long should I have term life insurance for?
    Your expenses and financial responsibilities change throughout your life and so will your coverage needs. Fidelity offers term life insurance in 10-, 15-, or 20-year increments. Our quote tool can help assess your coverage needs and estimate the cost.
  • Can I change my coverage amount in the future?
    Yes, if you want to decrease your coverage amount, contact Fidelity at any time during the life of the policy. If you want to increase the coverage amount, a new application is required.
  • What happens at the end of my term or coverage period?
    Term life insurance covers you for a set period or term. If you buy a 10-year term policy, for example, you pay a fixed amount for that period of time and at the end of the 10-year term, you can terminate or lapse your policy. If you choose to extend your policy, your premium would increase significantly.
  • How much term life insurance should I consider?
    The amount of coverage you get should reflect how much money you'd like your beneficiaries to receive in the event something happens to you. You can start with your family's day-to-day needs—the entire amount of money it takes to run your household each month or by estimating how much your beneficiaries may need to pay off debts—loans, a mortgage, credit cards, etc. If you have a spouse/partner, it's also important to have coverage for both people, no matter how much each person earns. You might need to cover costs such as additional caretaking of children or time off to settle the estate. Our quote tool can help assess your coverage needs and estimate the cost.
