Guaranteed Issue

« Back to Glossary Index

A type of life insurance policy that guarantees life insurance coverage, regardless of health. As such, there is typically no or minimal health underwriting. Guaranteed issue policies are offered to individuals who might have difficulty qualifying for traditional life insurance policies. And, while they do provide death benefit coverage, they also often come with higher-than-normal premiums and lower-than-normal death benefits.
