Select-A-Term Overview

AIG American General Life Insurance

When you’re looking for a company that is more open to applicants with riskier occupations and less-than-ideal medical histories, AIG American General typically comes out ahead of some of the other fully underwritten life insurance companies. Combine this with the ability to customize your term life insurance policy and AIG’s financial strength, and it’s easy to see why people continually choose AIG American General as their company.

The Select-A-Term product offered by AIG American General is a unique policy, as it allows you to choose the length of coverage that best suits you out of 17 different options. Other insurance companies typically offer only four choices. That extra flexibility, along with AIG American General’s excellent riders and competitive rates, make this life insurance carrier a popular choice among our customers.

Return Of Premium Overview

Father and son talking about AIG American General Life Insurance Offering the same great protections as the customizable Select-A-Term product, the return of premium policy provides a guaranteed refund equal to the premiums paid if you outlive the policy.

Don’t want to surrender the policy for the return of premium? No problem. Other options are available, such as converting the policy into a permanent policy, or continuing to pay premiums and receiving an endowment at age 95 equal to the face value of the policy. AIG American General offers a variety of options to better define your success and your family’s protection.

AIG American General Guaranteed Issue Whole Life

Overview

final_expense If you are looking for guaranteed coverage from a reputable life insurance company, then AIG American General’s Guaranteed Issue Whole Life policy is a great option for you to consider. Providing final expense coverage of up to $25,000, this policy contains a graded benefit structure that returns premiums paid plus 10 percent, in the event that a death from natural causes occurs inside the first two years of the policy (accidents are covered at 100 percent of the death benefit). If you are diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness after the two-year graded benefit period, included riders in the policy allow for you to access portions of the death benefits early, to help offset additional costs that arise as a result of your condition.
