Each day on the job, union leaders and fund administrators navigate a series of complex responsibilities to best serve their unions and members. It is a tall order and members expect results. Thankfully, when it comes to choosing a life insurance policy, The Union Labor Life Insurance Company (Union Labor Life) has made that decision easier.
When your organization purchases a life insurance policy with Union Labor Life, you not only get the benefit of working with a labor-owned insurance company, you also get Empathy, a beneficiary assistance program that provides support in times of loss.
Get More for Your Members and Their Beneficiaries
At Union Labor Life, our policy holders and beneficiaries are our number one priority, especially during the most difficult of times. That’s why we chose to collaborate with Empathy to provide your members’ beneficiaries with personalized support plans that help them save time, money, and stress as they navigate the complexities of loss.
The days after we lose someone can be tremendously difficult. Not only do beneficiaries have to navigate the grieving process, they also face a series of difficult decisions—funeral arrangements, estate settlement, deactivating accounts, benefits claiming and everything in between. Whether or not you have experienced this, these tasks are time-consuming and can easily become overwhelming to take on.
The collective weight of this process can add layers of stress that markedly impacts beneficiaries and their families. The good news is that with Empathy’s support, they have the choice to receive as much or as little assistance as they want. Ultimately, beneficiaries can find comfort in knowing they don’t have to manage this situation on their own.
“When beneficiaries lose a loved one, Union Labor Life is there to help – not just financially, but with emotional and logistical support,” says Stephanie Whalen, President of The Union Labor Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Ullico Inc. “Through Empathy, we’re providing union members and their families with holistic guidance and care for the administrative, emotional, legal and financial challenges they face after their loved one passes away.”
