Yes. A graded death benefit policy only pays the full death benefit if you live and keep the policy in force for a certain, specified number of years. If you die within the early years, benefits range from zero to return of premium to only very small amounts. Read you policy carefully and call the issuing company to learn how your own policy works. Graded death benefit whole life policies are generally sold only to very sick people as a last resort life insurance solution. Never, ever buy one of these until and unless you've declined by 3 or more companies in the standard life insurance markets.
