Modified Premium Whole Life Insurance is insurance that protects you for your whole life, from the day you purchase the policy until you die, as long as you pay the premiums. It is a form of permanent insurance that accumulates cash value and is eligible to receive dividends. It differs from Whole Life in that it features a lower initial premium that remains level for the policy’s first five years. The premium increases in year six and remains at that level for as long as you own the policy.
