Changes to Life Insurance Benefits at age 65
It is also important to understand how turning 65 affects your life insurance benefits. At age 65, your benefit amount reduces to 65% of the original benefit amount. At age 70, your benefit amount reduces to 50% of the original benefit amount.
For example, if you have a life insurance policy with a benefit of $100,000, when you turn 65 the benefit amount reduces to $65,000. When you turn 70, it reduces to $50,000.
Understanding these changes helps in planning effectively for financial security during retirement.
