Coverage

Protecting the whole household

The work that keeps a home running doesn’t come with a paycheck, but it has a real cost if it suddenly needs to be replaced.

A paycheck isn’t the only thing worth protecting

A stay-at-home parent or caregiver often handles childcare, school and activity logistics, meals, transportation and running the household. If that person were suddenly gone, the family would face grief and a new set of bills at the same time, from childcare to cleaning to scheduling help.

Coverage on both partners can keep one loss from becoming a financial crisis as well.

Questions worth asking

  • What would it cost to replace the care and support at home?
  • Would the surviving parent need to reduce work hours or change jobs?
  • Do both partners have coverage, and is it enough?
  • Who owns each policy, and who are the beneficiaries?

Where to start

A short conversation can map out what your household relies on and what coverage may fit. If you already have a policy, a policy review is a good first step.
