Check state statutes or ask your insurance agent to see how to determine more facts.

I think you might be confusing one thing with another....
Yes, a life insurance policy has to pay out higher than 'cash value' or it is not life insurance... this is not what was said earlier...
What was said earlier is that they have to pay out more than the premiums paid in... since premiums paid in does not equal cash value... well...
The policy IS higher than the cash value... it is just that the cash value is low... and much lower than premiums paid...
