No Waiting Period Burial Insurance in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, a large, varied state with two major cities and a lot of small-town life in between, many seniors ask for immediate-benefit burial insurance, and whether it is available depends mostly on how they answer a short set of health questions. Guaranteed issue plans do not ask health questions, but nearly all of them use a waiting period, so they are rarely a no waiting period option. Older applicants are sometimes told guaranteed issue is their only choice, but many can answer a short health questionnaire and may qualify for a full benefit from day one. Immediate-benefit burial plans are small whole life policies, so premiums are designed to stay level and coverage lasts for life as long as premiums are paid. Seniors in Pennsylvania in fairly good health often qualify for a level plan, so it is worth checking before settling for a policy with a waiting period.
