Rule of Thumb:
Go with reputable companies. Avoid companies that attract with lower premiums but dissappear when a claim is filed.
I didn't understand your Insurance policy. State farm is a good company.
Policy Coverage Age Monthly Premium
$250,000 30 ~ $20-25
$100,000 30 ~ $12-15
I prefer term insurance over the other type where one has to shell $100-200 monthly for 10-12 years and then, being covered till death.
Disadvantages with term insurance is that premium changes once the locked-in period is over. Oh well! But good for non-residents.
