National Conference of Insurance Legislators Highlights Life Insurance Awareness Month

MANASQUAN, New Jersey, Sept. 11 (TNSLeg) -- The National Conference of Insurance Legislators issued the following news release:

The National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) highlights September as Life Insurance Awareness Month. This campaign has been designated to serve as a reminder to families of the value of life insurance and encourage them to perceive life insurance as an investment into their families.

NCOIL President, IN Rep. Matt Lehman stated, "Now more than ever, Americans need to be reminded to include life insurance in their financial plans. The COVID-19 pandemic has created devasting outcomes for many. Families without life insurance could experience not only immeasurable emotional pain but also severe financial deprivation."

NCOIL CEO, Commissioner Tom Considine said, "This year has made clear that unexpected events are part of life as we know it. Two common perceptions surrounding life insurance are that it is expensive and that it is not needed. Many people can be insured for the price of a daily cup of coffee. Talk to your financial representative for a quote and work within your budget for a plan that is best for you. People of all ages are falling victim to COVID and everything can change in an instant. Everyone should understand the benefits of life insurance and the risks of going without it."

Life happens created and coordinates the Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM) campaign every September since 2004. Information and resources about Life Insurance Awareness Month can be found at https://lifehappenspro.org/life-insurance-awareness-month.
