Who Fabric by Gerber Life is right for

Fabric by Gerber Life is best for young families because it bundles competitively priced term coverage with a free will and family-finance tools, which is exactly what parents of young children are usually juggling at the same time.

No-exam underwriting

Accelerated underwriting up to $1M for eligible applicants. Above that threshold, or if your health history raises a flag, expect a paramedical exam. No-exam approval is a convenience, not a discount; a fully underwritten policy from the same carrier is usually cheaper for a healthy applicant.

Riders and options

Available riders include accelerated death benefit. Availability and cost vary by state.
