Term life insurance does not accumulate cash value as such; whole life insurance, in one of its various forms, does.
A type of term insurance that does have the potential of returning money to the policyholder is return of premium (ROP) term insurance policy. With a ROP term policy, all premiums paid are returned to the policy owner at the end of the term selected (e.g. 15, 20, or 30 years). Cash value does not build in the customary sense, but depending upon the precise variety of the policy, something more than the actual premiums paid may be repaid.
