Life Insurance Through Your Employer…Is It Enough?

Having life insurance is a wise decision and having it through your employer is a great benefit, but are you getting enough coverage for your family? Raymond Nelson Insurance has some answers.
Is it enough?
  • Research shows that one of every three families would be in financial hardship in less than a month if they lost a primary wage earner.
  • That amount increases to 70% within six months.
  • You need enough life insurance to replace your paycheck for as long as needed.
    • For example – until your children leave home or your mortgage is paid off.
    • To see how much insurance you’ll need, use this calculator.

 

What if you lose your job?
  • Group life insurance is an employee benefit that ends when your employment ends.
  • If going to a new job, you might not be able to get group insurance right away, or maybe not at all if it’s not offered.

 

No extra benefits
  • Group coverage may be affordable but it’s also pretty basic.
  • Unlike group insurance, getting your own life insurance can get you more benefits like:
    • Life insurance that lasts a lifetime.
    • The ability to get part of the death benefit early in cases such as terminal illness diagnosis.
    • And another feature can extend coverage to other members of your family.

For these reasons, you might want to consider your employee group benefit as a supplement to your own individual policy.You can tailor your insurance policy to suit your life and customize it to meet your needs.

Do I Need Life Insurance?

There are many reasons to get life insurance, and RNI gives you a few to think about, especially if someone else is depending on you. Consider these common scenarios…

Getting Married?
  • Now that you have a spouse, are they dependent upon you for support?
  • What would happen if you or your spouse didn’t make it home?
  • Do you need a joint life insurance policy?
  • There are many things to consider about which policy is best for you now.
Baby on the way?
  • This is when young adults become aware that they may need life insurance to protect their children in case something happens.
  • You should start thinking about getting a policy sooner rather than later.

 

Are you supporting your aging parents?
  • Hopefully, your parents already have a life insurance policy.
  • You might want to check into life insurance with a long-term care rider if caring for your parents.
  • And what happens to them if you die before them? Will they be taken care of properly?

 

Self-employed?
  • What happens to your family if you’re the breadwinner and something happens to you?
  • You can get business-owned life and disability insurance policies.
  • Most financial institutions will require a policy if you get a business loan.
  • A decreasing term life insurance policy makes the bank the beneficiary to pay off the loan in case the owner dies.

 

High-risk occupation?
  • If your job is dangerous or in a high-risk environment, you have a greater chance of dying than say an office worker.
  • Check to see if your job has employer-provided group life insurance to insure your paycheck if you are disabled or die on the job.
