MassMutual’s insurance coverage can help provide the following “living benefits” for you and your family:
• Whole life insurance products (as long as the policy is in force) offer a guaranteed, cash value accumulation, which is tax-deferred and can be borrowed for any purpose. With supplemental retirement income, educational funding and a source of funds for emergencies, these products can offer comfort for you during your lifetime.1
• Term life insurance products offer death benefit coverage for a specified time frame and can provide policy owners with the ability to convert the policy during the conversion period to a permanent MassMutual policy, regardless of changes in the insured’s health.
• Disability income insurance benefits can help pay your mortgage or rent, medical bills and other expenses, if you are too sick and cannot work. A lengthy, chronic healthcare issue can affect so many parts of your life: from placing caregiving burdens on your family and potential asset depletion, to fulfilling your desire to live independently. A MassMutual professional will work with you and those closest to you to develop a strategy to address these concerns.
Protecting your family over the long term

Facing breast cancer is enough of a challenge without having to worry about how your family will be protected if something happens to you. At this time, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Thanks to early detection and improved treatment options, that number is rising every day and more women are surviving breast cancer than ever before.*
You deserve a team of professionals who understand the challenges you face, and can provide options to help you make good decisions for yourself and for your family.
Take care of yourself, and protect those who love you, too.

1 Distributions under a policy (including cash dividends, withdrawals and partial/full surrenders) are not subject to taxation up to the amount paid into the policy (the cost basis). If the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, policy loans and/or distributions are taxable to the extent of gain and are subject to a 10% tax penalty.
Access to cash values through borrowing, withdrawals or partial surrenders can reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured.
