K of C Insurance                          

Only having “through work” insurance doesn’t work.

Do you know anyone whose life has been drastically changed by the recent recession and economic downturn?  With unemployment numbers rising, it’s very likely that someone you know is facing financial uncertainty now.

Too many people have often relied on group term life insurance as their only safety net. Often, this employee benefit is provided at low or no cost. The existence of this coverage might convince someone that a personally owned life insurance policy is not necessary.

Only having “through work” insurance doesn’t work. Most forms of group life insurance are limited in amount, which may be tied to salary or some other benchmark. These numbers are often capped, and this cap may be dangerously low for your family’s actual needs. In fact, without a detailed needs analysis, any employer-provided coverage may be completely unrelated to needs at death.

In addition, the amount of group insurance offered is almost always reduced, sometimes dramatically, or eliminated when you retire.

With the possibility of these changes on the horizon, you could one day find yourself without coverage, and if your health has changed (which it has and will as you age), you might also find yourself unable to secure individual protection.

While group life insurance can help, it does not replace the need for individually owned life insurance.  Please contact me to review your current coverage to see if it will protect you and your family for the days ahead.
