Share these resources to educate your clients and help them understand the importance of life insurance: 

Why it matters: If a wage earner dies unexpectedly, 42% of households would face financial hardship within six months and 25% would suffer financially within a month, according to LIMRA, a consulting firm for the financial services industry.

In addition: 

  • 22% of insured Americans (29 million) believe they need more life insurance and for those without life insurance, 73% say they need it.
  • 31% of consumers plan to purchase new life insurance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
  • 45% of Millennials are more likely to buy life insurance after the pandemic than Baby Boomers (15%) or Gen X consumers (31%).

Reminder: When combined with medical coverage, our employer-paid and voluntary insurance solutions—life, short- and long-term disability, vision, critical illness and accident insurance—create a comprehensive benefits package and give employers, their employees and their families peace of mind.
