Haven Life

Haven Life sells term life insurance with up to $3 million in coverage to customers between 18 and 64 years old. It makes shopping for life insurance simple with its Online Life Insurance Calculator, a quote tool with a minimalist interface. Haven Life offers coverage directly from MassMutual Insurance, an insurance provider with almost two centuries of experience. Haven Life's prices are competitive, and InstantTerm approval is available for qualified, healthy applicants under 59 who need $1 million or less in coverage.

Haven Term is a term life insurance policy (DTC and ICC17DTC in certain states, including NC) issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), Springfield, MA 01111-0001 and offered exclusively through Haven Life Insurance Agency LLC. Policy and rider form numbers and features may vary by state and may not be available in all states. In NY, Haven Term is DTC-NY. In CA, Haven Term is DTC-CA. The company's agency license number in California is 71922 and in Arkansas, 100139527.

Haven Life Plus (Plus) is the marketing name for the Plus Rider that is included as part of the Haven Term policy. The rider is not available in every state and is subject to change at any time. Neither Haven Life nor MassMutual are responsible for the provision of the benefits and services made accessible under the Plus Rider, which are provided by third-party vendors.

Haven Life’s application process is simple:

1. Fill out its online life insurance questionnaire by answering a few questions, then choose the coverage amount and policy length you require.
2. Once you’ve found coverage and a rate you’re happy with, fill out the 25-minute application to get the most accurate rate. For the application, you need your:
   • Driver’s license
   • Social Security number
3. Finally, answer questions about your lifestyle, health history and family health history to finish your application.

Upon completion of your application, Haven Life’s tools make an algorithmic approval decision based on your health, age and coverage requested. The healthiest individuals younger than 60 who need $1 million or less in coverage may be eligible for InstantTerm, which means they receive coverage immediately. Those who don’t qualify for InstantTerm may need a medical exam and can opt into temporary coverage for up to 90 days.

Haven Life offers term life insurance that lasts for 10, 15, 20 or 30 years, although a 30-year term is only available to customers younger than 50. For customers under 60, every Haven Life term life insurance policy can include coverage up to $3 million, while customers from 60 to 64 can only receive coverage up to $1 million. Customers older than 64 cannot receive any coverage from Haven Life, and the company does not offer whole life insurance to applicants of any age.

Riders available for Haven Life policies

Every Haven Life policy comes with add-ons, called riders, that give the policyholder extra protection.

• Accelerated death benefit: If a policyholder becomes terminally ill and is diagnosed as having less than 24 months to live, they can use their coverage to pay for medical expenses while they’re still alive. In this instance, Haven Life subtracts the money used for care from the payout.
• Guaranteed renewability: Every Haven Life policyholder is guaranteed renewed coverage at the end of their term. Prices may increase, but a policyholder never experiences an outright denial.
• Waiver of premium: If a policyholder becomes disabled and cannot work for longer than six months, they do not have to pay premiums for the duration of the disability. Note that this rider requires an additional monthly fee and is only available for applicants younger than 50 in California, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, North Dakota, New York and South Dakota.
• Haven Life Plus: Haven Life Plus is included in the purchase of any policy. It allows customers to take advantage of additional services and memberships, including an online legal service for creating wills, free access to fitness and jet lag management apps, secure online document storage and 15% off CVS MinuteClinics. Note that Haven Life Plus is not available in New York, Florida, South Dakota, Washington or North Dakota.

Customers can use Haven Life's online insurance calculator to see a basic policy quote within seconds. If the customer wishes to know more, they can receive a precise rate by taking 25 minutes to fill out a detailed questionnaire. Generally, Haven Life insurance policies start at $12 per month and increase depending on the value of the policy, the term length, and your age, health and family medical history.

A healthy, 40-year-old male can expect to pay:

• $18 a month for a 10-year, $250,000 policy
• $46 a month for a 20-year, $500,000 policy
• $118 a month for a 30-year, $750,000 policy

Haven Life determines your actual rates when you complete the application, which may include a medical exam for individuals with a higher risk for poor health. If you are more likely to have health problems, you may have higher rates.

Because of its excellent reputation for customer service, simple application process and competitive pricing, we recommend Haven Life for customers seeking term life insurance. The company offers additional protection with the accelerated death benefit, waiver of premium and guaranteed renewability riders. Customers can also keep their health and legal documents in order with Haven Life Plus. The company also has competitive pricing and easy-to-use calculators, but customers seeking whole life insurance need to look elsewhere.
