The short answer
US individual life policies pay for pandemic-related deaths without a pandemic exclusion. The 2-year contestability period still allows insurers to investigate application misrepresentation. Group life and employer plans similarly do not exclude pandemic causes.

- Only if the policy has a specific war/travel exclusion — rare on modern US plans.
