Life Insurance
What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is designed to protect those who are dependent on your income. Life insurance can also help you create a supplemental source of income for the future. There are a variety of life insurance plans available specifically designed to meet different needs, and your life insurance needs may change as your personal life changes.
Is Life Insurance right for you?
If you have young children, support a spouse or a disabled adult or child, you may want to consider life insurance protection. Or, if you are concerned about paying off your debts, funeral expenses, income taxes, or estate taxes after death.
When considering a life insurance policy, please consult your financial advisor to ensure it’s the right fit for your financial needs.

Juvenile Enrichment Plan (JEP)
The Juvenile Enrichment Plan (JEP) is an innovative way for you to offer protection and security to your children, grandchildren, godchildren, nephews and nieces.
JEP allows you to offer any child, from infancy to age 25, a significant amount of Term Life Insurance with the guaranteed ability to convert that term coverage into a permanent life insurance contract.
Here’s how the JEP works. You select the amount of Term Life Insurance coverage you want to provide from our low premium schedule – any amount between $10,000 and $100,000. During this term insurance period, the JEP certificate holder (the child) earns conversion credits toward the future purchase of an FCSU permanent life insurance policy.
At conversion, the JEP certificate holder can select the type of permanent insurance plan he or she prefers. The earned conversion credits will be applied to lower the new policy’s first year premium.
The young adult now has a permanent life policy that can begin accruing cash and loan value and is eligible for dividends.
Other JEP benefits include:
- One low premium per $1,000 of coverage for all ages.
- The right to purchase permanent insurance prior to age 25 is guaranteed, and no medical exam is required.
- JEP certificate holders are eligible for a variety of other FCSU benefits, including scholarships for those who qualify, and cultural and athletic programs.
