Quick Answers
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period and offers a death benefit if you pass away during the term. Universal life insurance, on the other hand, provides lifelong coverage and offers a death benefit alongside the potential to accumulate cash value.
Most adults who are in good health can apply for life insurance. Adults under the age of 59 are eligible for universal life insurance policies, universal policies, only individuals between the ages of 20 and 50 are eligible for term policies. You may not be eligible for life insurance if you have cancer, heart conditions, or other life-threatening medical conditions or lifestyle habits.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on being there for you when you need us. We process claims in less than 24 hours and typically have the cash in your bank account within 3 days.
SGLI is issued to active-duty service members, and once these service members are discharged, they have 120 days during the military separation period to transfer to either VGLI or a commercial permanent policy. Additionally, Retired Reserve soldiers are typically not eligible for SGLI and must convert to one of these options. You cannot convert to both VGLI and individual commercial life insurance at the same time, you must choose one. Converting your SGLI to a VGLI policy can be cost-effective at first, but over time it doesn’t provide any living benefits and grows more expensive as you grow older. Our life insurance policy allows you to stay covered at a fixed rate. If you choose to convert to VGLI at first, you may still be able later convert to a permanent individual commercial policy with AmFi depending on your health status.
Policies start at $9 per month. The exact amount you pay each month (your premium) is determined by your choices in the coverage amount and length of term, as well as your age, health, and lifestyle choices.
No. With our 5, 10, and 20-year term policies you will be charged the same amount every month for the duration of your policy. When the policy expires, your rate may change based on age and insurability at that time.
We sure do. We don’t advise canceling your policy because your coverage will lapse, but if you cancel within the first 30 days, then we will issue you a full refund. If you cancel after the initial 30 days, then we’ll simply stop charging you.
In addition to life insurance coverage, this policy grows cash value that isn’t taxed right away. This cash asset is a tremendous advantage of our universal policies.
Please contact our office or one of our agents to discuss the universal life insurance policy and to see whether this is the best policy for your needs.
Just like with all our policies, the death benefit is completely tax free. The universal policies accumulate cash value that is tax-deferred. Please contact our team to learn more.

I bought my first policy from American Fidelity in 1978 and subsequently have purchased 8 more policies on myself, children and grandchildren. We have always had exceptional service from their staff all these many years and have especially cherished talking to a person and not a recording!!
“Bought life insurance for my dependents”
Dave Herrera, Verified Review
Been with American fidelity since I was 25 yrs old. ... I'm 61 now the Premium has dropped considerably and the allotment I made for 50 dollars—and the lower premium—leaves me with a savings that I can withdraw without a penalty.
