Only if you have had it long enuf to develop some cash values less cancellation penalties. If you were misquoted on the premium or decide not to take the policy when it has been produced, you should get everything back. If they deny a claim in some situations you can get everything back no matter how long you have had it
You don't _have_ to, but why wouldn't you want to take the money you've earned?
The cash value is the amount of money your insurance policy is worth to the owner of the policy if the insurance is cancelled and the policy terminated. The insurance company will mail a check to the to the policy owner upon policy termination or cancellation by request of the owner. I would strongly encourage you to consult a professional in your area before cancelling an existing policy. There may be other options and alternatives to access the value of the policy without cancelling the insurance policy.
Insurance money is paid when you make a valid claim against the policy and can prove why the situation falls under the terms of the policy---whether it is Life Insurance, Car Insurance, Accident Insurance, Travel Insurance, etc. Call the Insurance Company for exact details.
When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums". The insurance company, using the law of large numbers, collects more money in premiums than it pays out in claims. The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it. As we all know that Life insurance policy cash values are accessed through withdrawals and policy loans. However, withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. Loans outstanding at policy lapse or surrender before the insured's death will cause immediate taxation to the extent of gain in the policy and hence benefits the company.

Usually there is a provision that is called the Automatic Premium Loan that takes money out of the cash value to pay premiums if you stop. This is safety becasue most people do not conciously stop paying especialy when there is a cash value. Your policy lapsed which means you cash value is empty, sorry, no money for you. == == * Was it term or whole (permanent) life insurance? Do you have a copy of the policy? Was there cash value in it? Did you get statements showing the amount of cash value?
Why did the company cancel? If you paid your premium, they can't. Was it a whole life, permanent, Universal Life or term policy. If term, there is no cash value.

If the policy was still in force and the insured has died, then yes, the insurance company would owe the death benefit. If the policy was cancelled or surrendered, the company would not owe anything.
No, an employer cannot take money from your paycheck unless it is for an employee benefit. There may be a lag time between when the insurance is cancelled and the payroll deduction stops, if the premiums were paid in arrears.
You must direct your question to the insurance company that holds the policy.
