Two types of debit life insurance are available. Debit ordinary insurance was designed for wage earners with modest incomes. Premiums are collected by company agents at policyholders' homes. Other than this mode of collection, the coverage has the same characteristics as ordinary life insurance. Industrial life insurance is also designed to meet the needs of low-income industrial workers. Premiums are payable weekly or monthly, and the face amount does not generally exceed $1000. A medical examination is not required to obtain such insurance.
