FOSTER CITY, Calif.,
March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Insure.com, a resource for auto, home, health
and life insurance, provides timely guidance to those who are
struggling with job loss.
Topics reviewed in the insurance guide to
unemployment include:
- Unemployment benefits. State unemployment insurance
programs provide temporary cash benefits to qualifying workers,
with varying eligibility requirements. Experts explain how to
access this support.
- Health insurance options. From COBRA, to joining a
spouse's health plan, purchasing short-term health
policies and/or tapping into a health savings account,
alternatives are presented along with their advantages and
disadvantages.
- Life insurance. For those losing access to life
insurance as a group benefit, it may be possible to take
advantage of options to continue it or to purchase an individual
policy.
- Auto insurance. Changes in work circumstances may make
it possible to lower car insurance premiums.
- Homeowners coverage. While job changes may not directly
impact home insurance requirements or costs, there are some
things homeowners can do to access potential savings.
"Losing a job can be extremely stressful," notes Michelle Megna, Insure's editorial director.
"We've consolidated crucial information for those facing
unemployment to help them access benefits and take steps to reduce
premium costs."
The site's insurance experts also offer valuable insurance tips
for those who have lost a job, such as:
- Negotiating discounts and payment plans with health
providers
- Accessing employee assistance programs that may still be
available to them
- Exploring targeted relief funds
- Tapping into community resources or services
"Taking action quickly to apply for benefits or access support
can help those affected minimize financial difficulties," says
Megna.
Megna is available to elaborate on this research and discuss how
individuals can best navigate insurance-related challenges
resulting from unemployment.
