The Life Insurance Bill
WV bill lets insurers offer life‑insurance loans to college students
Relating to authorizing the Insurance Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to premium financing for life insurance for college students.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, West Virginia would allow the insurance commission to set rules for financing life‑insurance premiums for college students, letting them borrow to pay for coverage.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Students could get life insurance sooner, but they may have to take out loans and pay extra interest, while insurers gain a new way to sell policies and earn fees.
