Policy loans also remain tax-free at the state level, making permanent life insurance an especially efficient savings vehicle. This benefit applies to all Cumberland County residents.

Some whole life policies from mutual insurance companies may pay dividends, though dividends are not guaranteed. When paid, dividends can be used to reduce premiums, purchase additional coverage, or accumulate as cash. The guaranteed cash value growth is separate from dividends and is backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier.
