Guaranteed level premiums. The premiums you pay are guaranteed to remain the same for the life of the policy, regardless of age or health.
Guaranteed death benefits. Beneficiaries will receive at least the face amount of the policy upon the death of the insured, assuming you do not have outstanding policy loans and that the policy premiums are paid on time.
Guaranteed cash value. Your cash value will grow each year, tax-deferred, until it matches the face value of your policy. When you need it most, you’ll have access to your cash through loan and withdrawal options
Protect one of your most valuable assets — your income — with disability insurance

It can help you pay bills like your mortgage, tuition and car payments, and help cover expenses for food, clothing and utilities. By replacing a portion of your income, disability insurance can help provide financial security until you get back on your feet and return to work.

There’s a good chance many of us will have 80 or 90 candles on our birthday cakes. With the possibility of living a long life comes an increased likelihood of needing assistance or what is commonly referred to as LTC or long-term care.
Many people mistakenly think they have long-term care coverage but neither private health insurance nor long-term disability insurance addresses this type of assistance. Moreover, the future of new government-run programs is uncertain.
Everyone’s needs are different and there are different approaches to long-term care planning. A little coverage can go a long way and you can use a combination of planning methods to achieve your goal.
The majority of people who need long-term care often prefer and are able to remain in their own home or community. New York Life offers policies that reimburse for care in a variety of settings including your own home, and provide the flexibility to transition from one type of care to another as needed. In some cases, depending on the policy, we may even reimburse a family member for providing your care.
With the right measures in place, you can help alleviate the emotional, physical, and financial strain of providing care that often falls on our loved ones.
