Is the life insurance I get through work enough to protect my family?

Answered by 2 licensed agents

No it is not. Having a standalone policy is more beneficial especially so you always have it in case of getting laid off, etc.

That’s a hard question to answer without knowing what your needs nd goals are. You would need someone to go through those things and come up with a number that makes sense to you. A very important thing to know is if you were to leave that employer for whatever reason and that could be your choice or something completely out of your control, but it’s important to know if you can take that coverage with you and many times you can’t and if you couldn’t would you be able to qualify for it on your own if you had to go through underwriting? There isn’t a simple yes or no answer to your question. You should get with an agent and walk through all those things.
