| Policy field | Question to ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Insured person | Student, parent/co-borrower, or both? | The wrong life insured can leave the intended risk uncovered. |
| Benefit trigger | Death, disability, accident, course interruption, or another event? | Marketing labels do not define claims. |
| Benefit amount | Fixed amount or linked to outstanding loan? | Determines whether the debt is fully protected. |
| Premium payment | Paid upfront or added to loan principal? | Financing the premium increases total cost. |
| Exclusions/waiting terms | What circumstances are not covered? | Claims depend on policy wording. |
| Cancellation/free-look terms | What current policy rule applies? | Do not assume every product has identical cancellation rights. |
