We offer both term life insurance (ages 20-65) and guaranteed issue whole life insurance (ages 65-85). Our term length options range from 10 to 30 years, with coverage amounts from $20K to $2 million, depending on what you qualify for. Learn more about our policies here.

Age: All U.S. citizens and permanent residents ages of 20-85 can apply for coverage with Ethos. If you’re 65 and under, you can own term coverage until age 80.
