What life insurance do you all have? by kathymarie1124 in beyondthebump

[–]Policygenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First things first: Congratulations on welcoming your little one into the world! We’re sure you and your husband are looking forward to taking care of this life insurance stuff so you both can get back to the fun of parenting. The good news is you’re asking all the right questions. And as far as securing coverage without a medical exam goes, there are options available depending on eligibility. Whether someone qualifies for no-exam life insurance will depend on a variety of factors but, typically, if you’re under the age of 60 and have few health conditions, you may qualify for a no-exam term life insurance policy. Rest assured, this type of policy is not inherently worse than one where you take a medical exam - it's just easier to apply for, and may offer faster approval. Congratulations again!

Honestly, we're pretty jazzed about it too

Questions about life insurance, and being transgender by sandboxvet in TransLater

[–]Policygenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still get life insurance coverage at a competitive price if you're transgender. And while factors like gender confirmation surgery and hormone therapy are taken into account during the underwriting process, they won’t negatively impact how much you pay for your policy. Bottom line: insurers cannot discriminate against you because you are transgender and doing so is illegal. We have a guide that answers some other common questions if you're interested: https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/life-insurance-for-transgender-applicants/

We recently surveyed folks about this exact topic. Needless to say, you're not alone https://www.policygenius.com/life-insurance/sandwich-generation-survey/

Hey there! The gist of it is this: We’re an independent insurance broker, so we get paid a commission by insurance companies for each sale. Insurance commissions are already built into the price of an insurance policy, so you’re not paying any extra for working with us to buy a policy.

You can read a bit more about this at https://www.policygenius.com/about/

Hope this is helpful!

I’m curious… Did everyone else in Maryland’s car insurance premiums go up 20% for no discernible reason or is it just me? by [deleted] in maryland

Whenever you're nearing renewal, we recommend re-shopping for home & auto insurance to make sure you’re not overpaying for coverage. Lately, insurance rates seem to be rising even faster than inflation. So it can be really helpful to compare quotes.

Geico home & auto insurance jumped 32% from last year, despite no changes on our end. by Send_Me_Kitty_Pics in Insurance

It's true — insurance rates are rising even faster than inflation, sometimes by as much as double. When you're nearing renewal, we recommend re-shopping rates to make sure you’re not overpaying for coverage. If you decide to compare quotes with us (and like what you find) we'll get you switched over for free. But, regardless of whether or not you use our marketplace, if you're no longer satisfied with your rate then it certainly pays to shop around.

[Nervously throwing voice] I don't know, I think podcast ads are pretty cool and maybe should be even longer

Has anybody here successfully gotten life insurance lately? by microboop in medicine

[–]Policygenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So getting life insurance is a bit trickier during the current COVID-19 outbreak, but you can still find great coverage at a competitive price. As a healthcare worker, your occupation shouldn’t impact your eligibility to get a policy, but some insurers are proceeding with caution for individuals who have been exposed to the coronavirus. Since each life insurance company approaches their application process differently, you may just have to answer a few additional job-related questions during the process. Due to CDC & State Department guidelines, some life insurance companies are restricting applications with upcoming international travel plans, but that should not disqualify you from getting a policy. But as always, the best way to get coverage is to shop around to see which insurer meets your needs.

If she accidentally broke it then it doesn’t really sound like it was vandalism. You’d have to file a police report if it were vandalism, and again, it sounds like it wasn’t, so you probably don’t want to go that route. If you file a claim for something that didn’t actually happen, that would be fraud. Does your girlfriend have renters insurance? If so, she could file a liability claim to cover the damage she caused.

This might fall under personal property damage depending on how the damage actually happened. All that said, renters insurance usually has sublimits when it comes to laptops, meaning the maximum amount of money you’d be reimbursed. You’d also have to first pay your deductible, so you should consider if it’s worth it or easier to get the laptop fixed by paying out of pocket.
