A term life insurance policy covers a person for a set period of time, often five or ten years. During this time, the policy pays a benefit if the insured person dies. People who find it difficult to afford or be qualified for other types of coverage often purchase term life insurance. In many cases the premiums are significantly lower than for other types of coverage. Once the time limit passes, the policy no longer pays a benefit and the person must purchase a new policy.
