Group Life Insurance: Does It Truly Protect You?
Overview
Group life insurance is a popular workplace perk due to its affordability. But is it giving you the coverage you need? Let’s delve into what it actually offers.
What Does Group Life Insurance Provide?
Typically, the coverage amount in group life insurance is linked to your salary, often ranging from one to two times your annual pay. While this may seem adequate, it often falls short of truly securing a family's financial future if the primary earner passes away. The general guideline in the life insurance industry suggests you need about 70% of your net income post-taxes to manage expenses after losing a breadwinner. With existing debts or health-related costs in the family, this amount might need to be even higher.
Transitioning Jobs and Your Group Life Insurance
Changing or losing a job can mean losing your group life insurance coverage. If you face health issues between jobs, securing a new policy with your next employer might become challenging.
Is Group Life Insurance Ideal for Long-Term Security?
The short answer is no. To effectively secure your financial future, acquiring a personal life insurance policy is advisable. This can supplement the coverage from your employer, providing a more substantial safety net.
When Should You Purchase Life Insurance?
Don’t delay purchasing individual life insurance. Reach out to an independent life insurance broker who can explore options from various companies. By assessing your age, gender, and health, they can recommend a medical exam to help you obtain lower premiums. The earlier you start, the cheaper the premiums, giving you control over a policy that group life insurance cannot offer.
