Life insurance: why many female feds probably don’t have enough Shelly Giuliano, Government Employees Benefit Association 2 days ago There are a number of reasons why having adequate coverage may be especially crucial for female members of the federal workforce. (designer491) In two of the pandemic’s most hard-hitting impacts, more than 900,000 Americans have died from the virus and nearly 10 million jobs were lost in 2020. Thankfully, COVID cases are finally falling, jobs numbers are climbing, and the only interruption to their work that most federal employees experienced involved the transition from office to home. Yet still, these numbers should serve to remind us of how impactful the sudden loss of our income could be and how important it is to protect our families from as much uncertainty as possible with the right type and amount of life insurance.
