Group Life Insurance – Is It Enough?
Share This Story
Group Life insurance is often offered by employers. The amount of coverage is typically a multiple of your salary.
Here are some things to consider:
- Group life insurance can be affordable. Some times, the cost is less than an individual policy.
- But, group life insurance is usually not portable.
- If you leave, you often can not take the insurance with you.
- Also, your employer can choose to stop offering the benefit.
- Younger employees should consider the benefits of an individual term policy.
- These are often cheaper when you are young.
- Also, an individual term policy stays with you if you leave.
- For some people, group life doesnt cover all their needs.
- As a rule of thumb, some people recommend life insurance that is 5 to 10 times your annual income.
- Estimate your life insurance needs
