Illinois Mutual Supports Industry-Wide Disability Insurance Awareness Month

Illinois Mutual, Peoria, Ill., will hold its third annual Disability Insurance Awareness Month (DIAM) during May. This year, the LIFE Foundation has taken the event industry-wide, so Illinois Mutual will be joined by many other insurance companies across the country in raising awareness about the need for disability insurance.

“Disability Insurance Awareness Month is a great way to promote awareness about the importance of disability insurance to consumers and agents. Many Americans protect their cars, homes and health with insurance policies, but they fail to protect their most valuable asset–their paycheck,” said Mike McCord, Chairman & President. “Our goal is to support our agents in educating consumers about how disability insurance can protect their families and prevent financial disasters.”

Illinois Mutual’s DIAM campaign will center around the thought-provoking question–”What if your last payday was your last payday?” As a part of this campaign, Illinois Mutual has recently redesigned its educational Web site, www.DIAwareness.com. This website was created to give consumers valuable information about disability insurance, including what it is, who needs it, why it is needed, how much is needed and where and when to get it. A short interactive DI assessment is also available to help consumers visualize the importance of disability insurance. Agents will be able to use this Web site to guide clients through making an informed decision about disability insurance.
