Every 4 years that is re-evaluated if the rate is higher than 3% that is effective for the next 4 years. If it is lower, then 3% is the minimum. IDK about you but that seems pretty damn cheap for a whole life policy with some pretty good guaranteed return or better. Cash out the policy tax free at retirement or take a loan out at anytime.

I also have a term life policy thru my job for about $12/month.
It sounds like it is tied to some sort of annuity. Low risk/low reward, it is much better than what the average person is doing, but you are leaving money on the table. Like life insurance it is probably built on some actuaries and the insurance company is betting on making money on the spread of what your dollars are earning and what they are paying.
