A coverage term for life insurance is the duration of time you have life insurance protection under a term life insurance policy.

The "Term" is the period of time your life insurance coverage will last.

Term life insurance policies offer temporary coverage lasting for up to thirty years.

However, you may be able to choose a "Policy Term" of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years of coverage.

If you outlive the duration of your coverage, the life insurance protection expires.
