Final Expense University Chapter 6

Is there a waiting period?

For many Final Expense policies, there is no waiting period for the death benefit to go into effect. This is especially true if you are in good health. You can still get a policy if you have a pre-existing condition and/or aren’t in the greatest health in general, but be aware that in this case there may be a waiting period involved.

The exact length of the waiting perios depends on the insurance provider used, but it could be around two to three years for the full death benefit amount to go into effect.
