Life insurance through your employer can be a great benefit, but it might not be enough to provide long-term financial protection for your family if you were to pass away. The death benefit for a typical workplace policy is usually only around twice your base salary. Plus, if you lose or leave your job, the work policy may not come with you. Having your own life insurance policy helps ensure your family has the right financial protection in place, no matter what changes with your work.

Scheduling a meeting with your agent is always a great idea. We can review your current policy together, and make sure it’s still the right fit, especially if you’ve experienced any major life events this past year, like getting married, having a child, etc. Plus, I might be able to offer you newly designed coverages — like pet insurance — and see if you qualify for any additional discounts.

More than likely, you’re covered under your employer’s insurance policy for any business equipment you use at home, though that coverage may be limited. It’s important to ask your employer what exactly the company’s policy covers. With that information, your agent can assess if you need to make any updates to your home policy.

As they say, “accidents happen.” Holiday gatherings often mean more people getting together, which can lead to higher risk of an accident occurring. For example, icy stairs up to your home can be hazardous and result in injuries. Bottom line, if the unexpected happens during the holidays, umbrella insurance can potentially save you money and give you peace of mind by going beyond your regular home or auto policy. Now is the time to consider this coverage, but you can benefit from it all year round.
