Life insurance is usually used to protect your income for the benefit of your dependents (although there are other reasons to purchase life insurance, such as for estate planning). You should in most cases purchase life insurance when you have dependents or when you have a large outstanding debt such as a mortgage.
Life insurance benefits are not paid automatically. If you are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you must file a claim in order to receive any money. Often, this is as simple as contacting your insurance agent and the deceased's employer and filling out some paperwork.
