When Should Your Adult Children Consider Life Insurance?
They’ve left the nest, so is it time for them to get their own coverage?
When they’re just starting out, Life insurance may be the last thing on the minds of Gen Z young adults. They probably won’t start thinking about coverage until they hit major milestones like getting married, buying a home, or having a child.
Term Life Insurance for Every Life Stage
Choose from a selection of Group Term Life insurance coverages for the protection your family needs.
Make sure they consider Life insurance too.
Gen Z is projected to be the most educated generation, with 62% pursuing higher education.2 As a result, student loan debt has become a major issue for many. If your adult children have student loan debt—particularly if you’ve co-signed their loans—they should have enough Life insurance to cover payments you might need to assume should something happen to them. If they can afford some coverage now—even if it’s just enough to cover their debt and final expenses—they’ll secure the best rates while they’re young and healthy.
Group Term Life insurance through this program is a great option for those just starting out. Unlike employer insurance, they can carry this coverage with them regardless of changes in their jobs or careers.

Perfect for the young and healthy, the easy, online application requires some basic information and answers to a few health questions—and can provide a decision in as little as one day for coverage up to $500,000.3
Take the time to talk with your young, adult children about adding Life insurance4 to their list of financial priorities. It may not seem as exciting as cryptocurrency, but they will probably thank you later.
