Do I get money back if I cancel Gerber life insurance?

Written by Admin | Last Updated: July 2026

Whether you get money back depends entirely on the type of policy you own and the timing of your cancellation. For almost all life insurance policies, there is a "free-look" period—often lasting 30 days—during which you can cancel for any reason and receive a full refund of your premiums. If you are outside this period, term life insurance policies usually offer no refund, as these plans do not carry cash value and the premiums cover the cost of insurance for the past duration. However, if you own a permanent life insurance policy, such as whole or universal life, you have likely built up a cash surrender value. In this case, you can cancel the policy and receive the cash value, but you should expect the insurer to subtract any unpaid premiums, administrative fees, or outstanding policy loans from the total payout. Before canceling, it is highly recommended to request a "surrender quote" from your insurer to see exactly how much you would receive.
