Start with responsibilities

Consider who depends on your household's income and which commitments would continue if circumstances changed.

List existing coverage

Find current workplace and personal policy documents. A list of coverage is a starting point, not proof that every need is covered.

Check terms with an authorized professional

Ask about what is covered, exclusions, duration, premiums and beneficiary information. Product suitability depends on individual circumstances and current authorization.
