When Does Life Insurance Payout?
429 POINTSview profileRich HaagPresident, Rich Haag & Associates, Inc., Clayton, NCThe typical payout for life insurance is upon death of the insured. There are several other options available in different policies. The first being accelerated death benefit. This can be paid prior to the insureds death when they have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. In some of the more recent policies there are riders that allow partial payments for qualified long term care situations. You can also find out if your policy can be assigned to a viatical company and you can "sell" your policy to them for a reduced amount based on the life expectancy of the insured. In any of these situations it is beneficial to speak with your life insurance company to determine exactly what the policy language provides.Answered on December 18, 2013flag this answer.JPG)

That is when the cash value of the policy equals the face amount of the policy. Also, ROP (return of premium) policies can pay back all the premiums paid in, usually when a term policy ends.Answered on December 18, 2013+01+1 this answer
