If your spouse is not a U.S. citizen, you may be asking who should own a life insurance policy and who should receive the money. Term life insurance for NRI families can cover either spouse. The roles you assign decide who signs, who must consent and who gets paid.<\/p>\n

This page explains those roles, the health questions that decide issue and rate, and the tax points a CPA reviews first.<\/p>\n

What term life insurance for an NRI spouse is, and who it fits<\/h2>\n

Term life insurance<\/a> covers a person for a set period at a set premium. It pays a death benefit only if the insured dies within that term. Whole or permanent life insurance lasts for life and adds a cash-value feature. FINRA’s insurance overview<\/a> explains the difference.<\/p>\n

A term policy can be written on either spouse. Insurers set their own documentation rules, so a spouse’s citizenship or visa status can affect what the application asks for.<\/p>\n

This page fits families in Florida where one spouse holds H-4 status, holds a green card, or has no current U.S. status. It applies to single-earner and dual-income homes alike. The real question is what the surviving spouse would lose financially.<\/p>\n

Insurance is a separate decision from tax filing. NR CPAs & Business Advisors is a Miami CPA firm. Its accounting practice is separate from the insurance, which is offered through its licensed agent.<\/p>\n\n

The owner controls the policy. The insured is the person whose life is covered. The beneficiary receives the death benefit. One person can hold all three roles, or each role can go to a different person.<\/p>\n
