SPJST offers two types of life insurance: term and whole life. Both are designed especially for you and your family. (Note: SPJST life insurance and annuity products are only available in Texas.)
Whole Life Insurance
As its name suggests, whole life insurance furnishes protection for the “whole life” of the purchaser. Whole life insurance is often purchased not only as premature death protection but also as a vehicle for accumulating funds for emergencies and as a supplement for retirement.
An SPJST whole life certificate also has cash value that can be used to take advantage of business or investment opportunities, help to defray your children’s college costs, or supplement retirement income. It also offers guaranteed protection and guaranteed growth at a guaranteed price.
Lone Pay Life
A whole life product available with just one premium. The certificate is then paid-up. Issued to ages 0 through 80.

Term Insurance
Of the two basic types of life insurance, term insurance premiums are the lowest because term insurance offers death protection only and is in effect for a limited period. For example, a member with a 10-year term certificate has protection for that 10-year period – not beyond. If the certificate is renewable, it may be extended for another period at a premium based on the new age. If not renewable, a new certificate may be purchased at the new rate, provided the certificate holder remains insurable.
SPJST writes term certificates for 10-year, 15-year, 20-year, and 30-year terms on a level premium basis. Prior to age 65, you can convert an SPJST term certificate to a permanent plan of insurance with a cash value. Who typically buys term insurance? This varies, of course; however, likely purchasers are young couples starting careers. When budget constraints prohibit purchasing the desired amount of cash value insurance, term insurance is often substituted. The term insurance provides them with a high amount of protection at a low premium.
10-Year Term
A modern term product issued to ages 18 through 75. Premiums are guaranteed for 10 years and can be renewed annually after that to age 95. Convertible to permanent coverage prior to age 65 with no health requirements. Renewals are guaranteed, even if your health is not perfect.

Universal Life Insurance
Universal Life is something of a hybrid when it comes to insurance certificates. Basically, it is an all-purpose, interest-sensitive plan designed to fit the widest range of needs.
Universal Life offers a level monthly premium with a level- or an increasing-death benefit option. In addition, it offers the member an interest-sensitive cash value with a guaranteed rate of interest. For current rate, contact the SPJST Home Office. The accumulation of cash values are tax-free until distribution. Death benefits are also exempt from taxation.
