Where can I get Washington life insurance quotes?

We offer Washington residents life insurance from several A-rated life insurance companies. Life insurance is very similar from state to state, with a few exceptions. This guide should help you understand the differences as well as find resources in your state.

Policy Cost – The premium (cost) you pay for your life insurance policy does not vary by state. It is the same regardless of which state you live in. Premiums are set by life insurance companies then approved by the State Insurance Department.

However, a ZIP code must be provided when getting quotes and policies, because life insurance forms vary by state.

Company Availability – Not all companies are available in every state. For example, if a life insurance company has not filed its product or rates with your State Insurance Department, that company won’t be available in your state. Company availability changes often due to new filings.

Product Availability – There are instances where life insurance companies offer only specific products or riders in a state. For example, a company may offer a child insurance rider on their policy, but the feature may not be available in all states.

These exclusions can be viewed by clicking on the life insurance companies in the list below.

Life insurance companies in Washington are required to give a free look period. This means you have 10 days to review the policy and decide if it’s right for you.

If you give the policy back, the company must issue a refund within 30 days of the original policy purchase, or they owe you an extra 10 percent.

If, for some reason, you miss a payment on your premiums, the company must offer you 30 days to make the payment before cancelling the policy. Washington life insurance companies also offer residents a timely payment on claims, usually within 30 days.

Your life insurance quotes are always free.

What is the Washington Guaranty Association?

What happens if my life insurance company goes bankrupt?

State guaranty associations are committed to protecting resident policyholders and beneficiaries in the event of an insurance company insolvency. The association is made up of all Washington state life insurance companies that sell life insurance, health insurance, and annuities in the state.

If an insurance company becomes insolvent (goes out of business), the association steps in to protect policyholders by continuing coverage and paying claims, up to defined limits.

In Washington, a life insurance policy is protected up to $500,000. This amount is the maximum benefit provided for any one life. In other words, multiple policies on any one person are limited to this amount.
