Insurability
Insurability refers to whether or not a person is accepted by a life insurance company for receiving life insurance benefits.
Many things determine whether or not a person is insurable, and these are determined by the life insurance company. One thing is whether or not the insured person is employed. If the person is not employed, they will likely not approve them for life insurance, because the person will not be able to pay the premiums.
One of the main things that life insurance companies look at to determine insurability is the health of the individual applying for life insurance. Life insurance companies prefer to insure healthy individuals, because they will receive multiple premium payments before the beneficiaries will need to cash in the policy. Those with serious, terminal illnesses are often not considered insurable for life insurance. This is why it is so important for people to apply for their life insurance when they are still in good health, even if they do not anticipate ne eding it any time soon.
