According to studies and reports that measure the preparedness for retirement, retirees over the next several years will depend heavily on Social Security Retirement benefits. As such, there will be increased pressure on financial professionals to understand the retirement benefits that Social Security will provide and to integrate these benefits into clients' retirement plans.  After a brief review of the history and development of Social Security, the course will provide in-depth discussion of all Social Security benefits, with specific emphasis on retirement and survivors benefits for eligible workers, their spouses, widows and widowers, and divorced spouses.  The course will also examine the implications of collecting retirement benefits early as well as delaying retirement benefits.  In addition, the course will cover basic benefits and recent changes to the Medicare benefit system.

Also addressed is the manner in which group insurance interacts with workers' compensation benefits, individual insurance coverages, Social Security benefits, and other group insurance coverage that may be carried by a spouse or domestic partner.

While most people who buy insurance are honest, there are those that make a business out of defrauding the insurance industry. A fraud scheme may be carried out when the insured changes the policy, when the policy is renewed, or perhaps not until a claim is made. There are often opportunities for fraud to be discovered at any of those times. Insurance producers, risk managers, loss control specialists, underwriters, and claim professionals can all play a part in combating fraud. This course will help students understand the impact of fraud and the role that they, as insurance professionals, can play in addressing it.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index. The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies. This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts. The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.

Who gets the money? A few small words can have enormous consequences, so it’s critical to be sure that beneficiary designations are done correctly. All too often the beneficiary designation is taken lightly or done with insufficient understanding of the potential problems, particularly in increasingly common situations involving blended families. In this course attendees will learn how to be sure that the beneficiary designations reflect the owners’ intention and avoid land mines that can result in funds going to the wrong person and adverse tax and probate consequences. The course will cover individual beneficiaries, minor beneficiaries, trust beneficiaries, per stirpes beneficiaries and beneficiaries for business plans. Life insurance, annuities, and retirement plans will be addressed.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index. The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies. This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts. The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.

While most people who buy insurance are honest, there are those that make a business out of defrauding the insurance industry.

Insurance producers, risk managers, loss control specialists, underwriters, and claim professionals can all play a part in combating fraud. This course will help students understand the impact of fraud and the role that they, as insurance professionals, can play in addressing it.

While most people who buy insurance are honest, there are those that make a business out of defrauding the insurance industry. A fraud scheme may be carried out when the insured changes the policy, when the policy is renewed, or perhaps not until a claim is made. There are often opportunities for fraud to be discovered at any of those times. Insurance producers, risk managers, loss control specialists, underwriters, and claim professionals can all play a part in combating fraud. This course will help students understand the impact of fraud and the role that they, as insurance professionals, can play in addressing it.

With increased life expectancy, it's likely that individuals will be enrolled in Medicare longer than expected. Yet Medicare has significant gaps in coverage that can put assets at risk. This class reviews Medicare Parts A-D, the coverage gaps, and Medicare supplements. The course discusses Medicare Select Plans, Medicare Advantage Plans, as well as the impact of the Affordable Care Act. Medicare riders and the use of HSAs are examined. Participants will leave with a better understanding of Medicare eligibility, the original Medicare Plan, what services are not covered by Medicare, and how to close the Medicare coverage gaps. 

According to studies and reports that measure the preparedness for retirement, retirees over the next several years will depend heavily on Social Security Retirement benefits. As such, there will be increased pressure on financial professionals to understand the retirement benefits that Social Security will provide and to integrate these benefits into clients' retirement plans.  After a brief review of the history and development of Social Security, the course will provide in-depth discussion of all Social Security benefits, with specific emphasis on retirement and survivors benefits for eligible workers, their spouses, widows and widowers, and divorced spouses.  The course will also examine the implications of collecting retirement benefits early as well as delaying retirement benefits.  In addition, the course will cover basic benefits and recent changes to the Medicare benefit system.

Today's retirement planning must address many dimensions and cover many needs: health care and health insurance; income and asset distribution; Social Security; and, unlike the retirement plans of years ago, continued wealth accumulation. Understand the financial concerns facing retirees, identify the products and services that would help meet those concerns, and review the ethics and market conduct requirements of serving the senior market. This class is critical as you help your clients manage their assets in retirement.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index. The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies. This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts. The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.

Who gets the money? A few small words can have enormous consequences, so it’s critical to be sure that beneficiary designations are done correctly. All too often the beneficiary designation is taken lightly or done with insufficient understanding of the potential problems, particularly in increasingly common situations involving blended families.

The course will cover individual beneficiaries, minor beneficiaries, trust beneficiaries, per stirpes beneficiaries and beneficiaries for business plans.

The course discusses Medicare Select Plans, Medicare Advantage Plans, as well as the impact of the Affordable Care Act. Medicare riders and the use of HSAs are examined. Participants will leave with a better understanding of Medicare eligibility, the original Medicare Plan, what services are not covered by Medicare, and how to close the Medicare coverage gaps. 

According to studies and reports that measure the preparedness for retirement, retirees over the next several years will depend heavily on Social Security Retirement benefits. As such, there will be increased pressure on financial professionals to understand the retirement benefits that Social Security will provide and to integrate these benefits into clients' retirement plans.  After a brief review of the history and development of Social Security, the course will provide in-depth discussion of all Social Security benefits, with specific emphasis on retirement and survivors benefits for eligible workers, their spouses, widows and widowers, and divorced spouses.  The course will also examine the implications of collecting retirement benefits early as well as delaying retirement benefits.  In addition, the course will cover basic benefits and recent changes to the Medicare benefit system.

While most people who buy insurance are honest, there are those that make a business out of defrauding the insurance industry. A fraud scheme may be carried out when the insured changes the policy, when the policy is renewed, or perhaps not until a claim is made.

Insurance producers, risk managers, loss control specialists, underwriters, and claim professionals can all play a part in combating fraud. This course will help students understand the impact of fraud and the role that they, as insurance professionals, can play in addressing it.

The growth in popularity of indexed insurance products, specifically fixed indexed annuities and fixed indexed life insurance policies, has been dramatic. While these products are considered fixed contracts, the interest that is credited to these products is based on the performance of an external financial index. The basic concepts of these products may seem simple, but they are among the most complex of all insurance products. To many, they fall in the middle of the risk spectrum, between traditional fixed annuities and life insurance policies and variable annuities and variable life insurance policies. This course will explain how these products compare and contrast with their fixed counterparts. The course will also cover in detail different interest crediting methods and design characteristics of the indexed product, and the important suitability and market conduct issues related to these products.
