You are invited to attend — it's a great networking event — 7:50-9 a.m. at 515 Sycamore St. Take advantage of "open enrollment" At many places of work, it's "open enrollment" season — the time where you get to make changes to the various benefits you receive from your employer. As you review your overall benefits package, what areas should you focus on? Here are three possibilities: • Life insurance — If your employer offers life insurance as a benefit, and you haven't already signed up for it, consider adding it during your open enrollment period — because life insurance can be important to your family's financial security. If you already have life insurance with your employer, you may want to take the time, during open enrollment, to review your beneficiary designations. If you've experienced a change in your family situation, such as divorce or remarriage, you'll want to update your beneficiaries, as needed. • However, the amount of life insurance offered by your employer in a group policy may not be sufficient for your needs, so you may want to consult with a financial professional to determine if you should add private, or individual, coverage. You may find that individual coverage is comparable, in terms of cost, to your employer's coverage. Also, individual coverage is "portable" — that is, you can take it with you if you change jobs. • Disability insurance — Your employer may also offer disability insurance as a low-cost benefit. The coverage can be invaluable.
