Virginia's CDC-reported life expectancy at birth is 77.6 years — the number licensed agents use as a planning baseline when recommending term lengths and permanent coverage horizons. Athene Life policies issued in Virginia are regulated by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance, and death benefits carry an additional layer of consumer protection through the state's life and health guaranty association, which may cover benefits up to $300,000 per policy in the event of carrier insolvency.
