Does Term Life Insurance Pay Dividends? 
Dividends are paid by policies which accumulate equity , such as Whole Life . Term life does not accumulate equity , but merely provide death protection -LRB- unless of course you buy Term living benefits coverage -RRB- , so it does NOT pay dividends . I would urge you to talk with your agent . There are many choices out there now which can pay you , and have a variety of premiums which are much more affordable than you might think . Thank you .
