American Income Life Insurance Company

American Income Life Insurance Company, commonly known as AIL, is a U.S. insurance company focused on life and related supplemental insurance products for labor-union members, association members, and working families. Founded in 1951 by Bernard Rapoport, the company later became part of Globe Life Inc.'s insurance operations. Its business has traditionally used employer, union, and association relationships alongside an agent-based distribution network. The brand is associated primarily with term life insurance, whole life insurance, and selected supplemental protection products rather than with a broad full-service financial-services offering. Product availability, underwriting, distribution, and policy terms may vary by state or province and are governed by locally approved policy documents.

American Income Life Insurance Company was established in the United States in 1951 by Bernard Rapoport. Its business developed around the insurance-protection needs of working families, with a market focus on members of labor unions, associations, and related organizations. Rather than relying solely on conventional retail financial branches, AIL has traditionally combined organizational relationships with an agency-based distribution model to offer life and supplemental protection products to eligible members and their families. The company subsequently became part of Globe Life Inc.'s insurance operations while continuing to operate under the AIL brand. Its products and activities are subject to U.S. state insurance regulation, so coverage, pricing, eligibility, and distribution can vary by jurisdiction and policy type.
