In this week’s recent news, we offer more information about a type of insurance plan that many of you are familiar with. Gap Plan insurance is becoming more popular in the industry today. The advent of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has helped in some areas of the healthcare industry, while it has faltered in others. “About 8 in 10 people qualify for some form of subsidy on the Obamacare exchanges, helping to make insurance more affordable”(Health Inc., NPR), however, those that don’t, businesses for example are sometimes forced to pay the full amount if an employee gets hurt.

How much of my income will Social Security replace? A common question that occurs all too often in the financial industry. Unfortunately, not as much as it once did.

Where did July go?! No need to worry, we still have a few more months of this beautiful summer weather. We hope everyone is staying busy with work and enjoying your time off as much as possible. In today’s recent news we wanted to let everyone know about two huge opportunities coming your way.
When we asked advisor Chris Shelton to tell us about his experience hosting a seminar on the island of Vinalhaven, Maine, he had a lot of great things to say. It was the very first time Chris’ company Atlantic Financial Group had been out to the island and he was determined to make sure it wasn’t the last. One of his long time health insurance clients and a resident of the small community recommended that it would be a great idea to host a seminar there. He said he couldn’t think of any time he had heard about someone coming to talk about retirement planning in the area.
Our June Producer Forum kicked off the second half of the year by offering a chance for advisors to hone their skills and win some cash. A three-hour training by well-known life insurance expert, Van Mueller, was the focus of the event. As an added element of excitement, the day ended with a CBU Wonka bar giveaway. Of the 50 chocolate bars dispersed, four secretly contained a redeemable Golden Ticket worth $250 each. Ray Vallee, fun-loving president of CBU, dressed as Willy Wonka to deliver the sweets to advisors.
