Changing jobs can be an exciting step forward in your career, but it often comes with a long list of questions, especially about your benefits. One of the most common concerns is what happens to your life insurance when you leave your current employer. The answer depends on the type of coverage you have and the options available through your provider.<\/p>\n
Most employer-sponsored life insurance policies are tied directly to your employment. When you leave your job, that coverage typically ends. While some employers offer a short grace period, many do not. This can leave you and your loved ones vulnerable during a time of transition.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, many group life insurance plans offer portability or conversion features:<\/p>\n
At Amalgamated Life, we design our plans with career transitions in mind by offering portability options<\/a> that give you greater control over your coverage and peace of mind during times of change.<\/p>\n Life insurance is a long-term commitment to your family\u2019s financial security. Losing coverage, even temporarily, can create unnecessary risk. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to understand your options before making a career move.<\/p>\n If your new employer doesn\u2019t offer life insurance, or if there\u2019s a waiting period before benefits begin, having a portable policy can bridge the gap. It also ensures that your coverage isn\u2019t interrupted due to health changes or administrative delays.<\/p>\n We believe that insurance should adapt to your life, not the other way around. That\u2019s why our policies are built with flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and real-life needs in mind. Whether you\u2019re changing jobs, starting a business, or retiring, we\u2019re here to help you maintain the protection you need.<\/p>\n Our team provides:<\/p>\n Before you accept a new job offer, take a moment to review your current life insurance benefits. Ask your HR department about portability and conversion options and consider supplementing your coverage with an individual policy.<\/p>\n With Amalgamated Life, you don\u2019t have to navigate these decisions alone. We\u2019re here to help you protect what matters most, no matter where your career takes you.<\/p>\n With a consistent A.M. Best \u201cA\u201d (Excellent) rating and a mission to serve working people and their families, Amalgamated Life stands out for its integrity, service, and commitment to community. Our team works closely with unions, employers, and individuals to deliver insurance solutions<\/a> that are both practical and personal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Changing jobs can be an exciting step forward in your career, but it often comes with a long list of questions, especially about your benefits.
