Life Insurance Awareness Month is Your Time to Reflect, Review, and Revise

August 28, 2024

Every September, the industry — led by Life Happens — comes together to sponsor Life Insurance Awareness Month (LIAM). This campaign is designed to educate consumers about the importance of life insurance and its role in protecting families’ financial security. 1891 Financial Life is proud to once again support LIAM.

Celebrate Life Insurance Awareness Month with 1891 Financial Life!

Life has its twists and turns, and while we can't predict the future, we can certainly prepare for it. At 1891 Financial Life, we believe in protecting what matters most — your loved ones. Life insurance isn't just about policies and premiums; it's about ensuring that when life happens, your family can continue to thrive without the added stress of financial worries.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, a time when 1891 Financial Life emphasizes the importance of life insurance. It’s a reminder that protecting your family’s future is one of the most meaningful things you can do.

While it’s great news that half of Americans already have life insurance, there’s still a significant need for more coverage. According to the 2024 Insurance Barometer Study, 62% of people without life insurance say they need it, and 22% of those who have it feel they need more. That’s 102 million Americans seeking the security that life insurance provides.

Take a moment to ask yourself:

  • Do I have life insurance? If not, what’s holding me back?
  • Do I need life insurance? How much should I have? Which kind should I own?
  • Is my life insurance still the right fit for me?
  • When is the last time I reviewed my coverage?
  • If I own term insurance, when does it expire, and what’s my plan after that?
  • Is term the best way for me to go at this point?
  • Is my current coverage affordable and sufficient to meet my family’s needs?
  • How do I determine my family’s needs
  • Have I gone through any major life changes since I last reviewed my policy?
  • Marriage, children, a new home, a job change, or retirement?
  • Is my beneficiary designation current?
  • Is it time to update and make necessary changes?
  • Do my loved ones know what to do to access the benefits when the time comes?
  • Are they aware of the intent of the coverage.
  • Do I know where my policy paperwork is, or is it time to track it down?
  • Have I kept my insurance papers organized and accessible to my beneficiaries?
