🚨 OPEN ENROLLMENT IS COMING… BUT DON’T JUST ENROLL. KNOW YOUR OPTIONS!

Open Enrollment isn’t just about choosing an ACA Marketplace plan or accepting whatever your employer offers.

It’s about asking: Does this coverage actually make financial sense for me? 👀

If you’re an employee, how much is coming out of your paycheck for benefits—and what will you still have to pay when you actually USE them?

If you’re an employer, how much are benefits costing your business AND your employees? Are there other ways to build a benefits package that helps you control costs while still giving your employees valuable protection?

And if you’re self-employed or a 1099 worker, the ACA Marketplace may not be your only option.

Health. Dental. Vision. Supplemental benefits.

Let’s look at the TOTAL cost—not just the monthly premium.

Because being insured and being financially protected are two different things.

📩 Before you enroll, let’s talk about your options—inside and outside of the ACA Marketplace.

💡 LIFE INSURANCE AWARENESS MONTH TIP

POLICY LOAN vs. WITHDRAWAL — Know the Difference!

Having cash value is one thing. Knowing how to access it is another.

💰 WITHDRAWAL
You are taking money directly out of your policy’s cash value. Once withdrawn, those dollars are no longer in the policy to participate in future growth and may reduce your death benefit.

🏦 POLICY LOAN
You are borrowing from the insurance carrier and using your policy value as collateral. Depending on your policy’s loan provisions, the value securing the loan may continue receiving interest or index credits.

Yes, the carrier charges interest—because you borrowed the carrier’s money, not because you withdrew your own.

Policy loans still have to be managed properly because outstanding loans and interest can affect your policy and death benefit.

Don’t just build cash value. Know how to leverage it.

LIFE INSURANCE TIP: HOW DOES YOUR CASH VALUE ACTUALLY GROW? 💰

Your premium starts the process, but your premium isn’t the only thing that can help grow your cash value.

Depending on the policy, growth can come from:

💵 Premium Funding — A portion helps build cash value after policy costs.

📈 Interest or Index Credits — Certain policies earn interest or index-linked credits. With an IUL, your money is not directly invested in the stock market.

💰 Dividends — Participating whole life policies may pay dividends that can help increase cash value. Dividends are not guaranteed.

And structure matters!

A policy focused on a higher death benefit may build cash value more slowly because more of the policy is supporting insurance protection.

A policy designed for maximum cash accumulation focuses more of the funding toward building cash value while staying within policy and tax guidelines.

Know your goal before you structure the policy.

The more you know, the more your finances can grow! 💚💛

LIFE INSURANCE AWARENESS MONTH TIP 💡

Your cash value can do more than just grow.

With certain permanent life insurance policies, your cash value can serve as collateral when you take a policy loan.

That means you’re not simply pulling your own cash value out of the policy. The insurance carrier is lending you money, using your policy’s cash value as collateral.

This can allow your available cash value to continue earning according to the terms of the policy while you access funds for opportunities, emergencies, or other financial needs.

But remember: policy loans aren’t free money. Interest applies, and unpaid loans can reduce your death benefit and affect the policy.

Life insurance isn’t just about what happens when you die. Understanding how your policy works while you’re living matters too.

The more you know, the more your finances can grow!

🚨 LIFE INSURANCE AWARENESS MONTH TIP: “I DON’T WANT LIFE INSURANCE BECAUSE I’LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT FOREVER.”

That’s a myth.

Certain cash-value life insurance policies can be structured so your premium payments eventually stop.

Examples include:

💰 10-Pay Whole Life — Pay premiums for 10 years, then the policy is paid-up.

💰 20-Pay Whole Life — Pay premiums for 20 years, then the policy is paid-up.

💰 Paid-Up at Age 65 — Premium payments are designed to end at age 65.

💰 Single-Premium Life Insurance — One lump-sum payment funds the policy, subject to tax and MEC rules.

💰 Reduced Paid-Up Insurance — With certain whole life policies, you may be able to stop paying premiums and use the policy’s existing cash value to purchase a smaller, fully paid-up death benefit.

The important part? You have to understand how your specific policy is designed.

Life insurance isn’t always “pay forever.” Different policies offer different ways to fund your coverage based on your goals and budget.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month—and awareness shouldn’t stop at buying a policy.

LIFE INSURANCE TIP: Build a relationship with your life advisor.

Your life advisor can be one of your first calls when something goes wrong with your policy.

Payment didn’t process?
Having trouble with customer service?
Need help understanding a policy change?
Have questions about a claim?
Need help communicating or escalating an issue with the carrier?

That’s where the client–life advisor relationship matters.

A good life advisor doesn’t disappear after the sale. We help you understand what’s happening, communicate with the carrier, navigate the process, and advocate for you when issues arise.

We may not control the carrier’s final decision, but we can help make sure you’re not trying to figure everything out on your own.

Life Insurance Awareness Month is also about understanding the support that comes with your policy.

LIFE INSURANCE TIP 💡
A Risk Classification Change Doesn’t Always Mean “No.”

Sometimes underwriting comes back with a different risk classification than originally quoted — and that can change your monthly premium.

MY JOB: Explain why it changed and what options we have.

YOUR JOB: If information needs to be updated or clarified, provide what’s needed so we can request reconsideration.

If the classification stands, we can adjust the coverage or policy design to help keep the premium within your budget.

If it’s a denial, we can explore another carrier because underwriting guidelines vary from company to company.

Whether we’re requesting reconsideration, adjusting the policy, or exploring another carrier, my job is to help you understand your options — not promise an outcome underwriting has to decide.

The more you know, the more your finances can grow!

LIFE INSURANCE TIP: Sometimes the price is the price! 💡

Life insurance isn’t priced the same for everyone. Your premium is based on risk classification, and several factors can affect where you fall:

• Current and past health history
• Age
• Height and weight
• S*x
• Tobacco/nicotine use
• Product type
• Death benefit amount

Depending on the carrier and underwriting, you may qualify for a Preferred, Standard, or Substandard risk classification—and smoker/tobacco classifications can also affect your rate.

Preferred generally means lower premiums because you present a lower insurance risk.

Substandard means the insurance company sees additional risk, which can increase your premium.

And that’s why sometimes the price really is the price. It’s not always about finding something cheaper—it’s about understanding what is driving the cost and choosing coverage that makes sense for your needs and budget.

Know your risk. Understand your options. Make an informed decision.
