One of the persons receiving the death benefit from an insurance policy upon death of the insured.
I am naming my wife as the primary beneficiary to my life insurance policy so she will receive the death benefit if she is still living when I pass away. My 2 kids are the secondary beneficiaries so if my wife dies before me, they will each receive half of the death benefit.

When a life insurance policy requires an extensive look at the insured's health and other factors that might determine the life expectancy of that person. These policies can be more difficult to qualify for, but often have lower rates if the insured is accepted.

When a life insurance policy only requires answering a limited amount of yes/no health questions. These policies usually do not require a medical exam, but sometimes require a phone interview.
