The short answer is that it depends primarily on your age and your health. If you’re anywhere from 18 to 35, your age doesn’t affect your prices, so reapplying for the 20-year policy will almost always be cheaper, since a shorter term length means less risk for the insurer.

However, it’s not impossible for people 40 and up to reapply for lower prices - that’s where your health comes in. If, for example, you applied for your original...
