Term Life Insurance: Child Riders

Most companies offer insurance for children as a rider to their parent's policy. The requested amount is added to the parent's policy premium each year. The rates for the companies offering this coverage are detailed below. The "Cost/Unit" column illustrates the cost per thousand per year for the coverage while the "# Units Available" lists the minimum and maximum coverage values available.

Generally, the coverage provided is to all dependent children in your household, ranging in age from 6 months to 21 (there are some specific company details). If you request 10 units = $10,000 and the charge per thousand is $6.50, then the annual premium will be $65.00 per year, regardless of the number of children in your household. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
