What Union Members Need to Know About Life Insurance
American Income Life has partnered with hundreds of labor unions across the United States for over 70 years. As a dues-paying union member, you may have access to exclusive group rates and benefits that aren't available to the general public. The key is understanding what your union contract already provides — and where the gaps are.

Your Coverage Options Explained
Whole Life Insurance
Permanent coverage that never expires and builds cash value over time. Your premium is locked in at the rate from when you first took out the policy — it never goes up, even as you age.
Term Life Insurance
Affordable coverage for a specific period. Great for income replacement during your working years when your family depends on your paycheck most.
Children's Whole Life
Lock in coverage for your kids today at low childhood rates. Guaranteed insurability protects them even if they develop health conditions later in life.
Accidental Death Benefit
Pays an additional benefit if death results from a covered accident. Critical for tradespeople and workers in physically demanding industries.
Spouse Coverage
Extend the same quality of coverage to your spouse or domestic partner. Keep your whole household protected under one policy family.
Supplemental Coverage
Most union group policies cover only 1–2x salary. Supplemental individual coverage fills the gap and stays with you after retirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my union already provide life insurance?
Most unions do offer some group life coverage, but it typically covers only 1–2 times your annual salary — often far less than your family actually needs. Worse, it ends the moment you leave your job or retire. Individual supplemental coverage through AIL fills that gap permanently.
Will I need a medical exam to get coverage?
In most cases, no. American Income Life specializes in simplified issue policies that require only a short health questionnaire. Most union members qualify without any blood tests, doctor visits, or lengthy underwriting.
What happens to my coverage if I change unions or retire?
That's the beauty of individual whole life coverage — it's yours, not your employer's. Your policy follows you regardless of where you work, whether your union status changes, or when you retire. The rate you locked in stays the same forever.
How affordable is this really?
Many union members secure $50,000 or more in whole life coverage for under $30/month when they enroll at a younger age. The earlier you lock in, the lower the rate stays for life. A licensed agent can give you an exact quote based on your age and coverage needs.
