Life Insurance from Allstate Benefits

About Life Insurance

Allstate Benefits offers a full range of life insurance products that can provide security through every stage of life. Employers can also choose to make optional riders available to customize coverage. In the event of a covered person's passing, their beneficiary will receive the applicable death benefit. Payments may be used for final expenses, daily living costs and any other needs – there are no restrictions.

How Life Insurance Works

Life insurance pays a lump-sum cash benefit when the insured person dies or may pay a benefit if the covered person lives to the designated maturity age. Add-on coverage through employer-chosen riders can help give families more benefits, such as monthly advances for long term care and chronic or terminal illnesses. Coverage amounts can vary to fit a family's needs and budget. Some life insurance options may offer Guaranteed Issue¹ up to a certain benefit amount, meaning there are no medical questions to answer to enroll in coverage.
