September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, making it a great time to ask: Does your life insurance still fit your life today?
Many people purchase life insurance during major milestones like getting married, buying a home, or starting a family. But as life changes, your coverage needs may change too.
When Was the Last Time You Reviewed Your Coverage?
Consider whether any of these events have happened since you last looked at your life insurance policy:
- Marriage or divorce
- The birth or adoption of a child
- A new mortgage or major debt
- Changes in income
- Children becoming financially independent
- Retirement or planning for retirement
If so, it may be time for a review.
How Much Coverage Do You Need?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The amount of coverage that's right for you depends on factors such as:
- Your income
- Outstanding debts
- Future education expenses
- Retirement goals
- The financial needs of your loved ones
The goal is simple: helping protect those who rely on you financially.
More Than Just Life Insurance
Life Insurance Awareness Month is also a good reminder to review your overall insurance coverage.
Many military families, retirees, and federal employees benefit from evaluating:
- Life Insurance
- TRICARE Supplement Insurance
- CHAMPVA Supplement Insurance
- Dental & Vision Insurance
Taking a fresh look at your coverage can help ensure it still aligns with your family's needs.
