Time Insurance rates quoted on our online instant
quote service are for preferred rates. Approximately 40% of all applications
applying with Time qualify for this special class of rates, which are typically
10-20% lower than standard rates. | |

If you
do qualify for Preferred Rates with Time, you will also need
to complete the Preferred
Rating Questionnaire .
Each applicant/enrollee must complete and sign the appropriate
sections. Spouses are considered separately for preferred
rating eligibility and must also answer this questionnaire.
This information is not required for dependents.
If
you do not qualify for these rates after reviewing the questions
