Insuring Home Based Businesses

Rick Weston, CLU, ChFC, CPCU, LUTCF, FSS

December 4, 2024

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join NAIFA-Mississippi on December 4th for a Virtual CE Event - Insuring Home Based Business presented by Rick Weston. 3 Hours of CE credit approved!

FREE for Members | Non-Members: $15.00

Did you know there are over 40 million “home offices” and over 11 million home-based businesses? How many of your homeowner’s policy clients might have some sort of home-based business? The Homeowner’s Policy does not cover liability exposure from a business, and has little property coverage for business equipment. This course defines what a business is, and the insurance limitations of having a business at home. We discuss the differences in owning your own business versus running a business you do not own. We discuss endorsements to increase coverage for a business at home. We define what Incidental farming is and what coverage is available for that risk. We address the question: when should a person running a business from home consider buying a full-blown commercial policy to cover their risk exposures?

Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans

Rick Weston, CLU, ChFC, CPCU, LUTCF, FSS

September 10, 2024

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join NAIFA-Mississippi on September 10th for a Virtual CE Event - Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans presented by Rick Weston. 3 Hours of CE credit approved!

FREE for Members | Non-Members: $15.00

Medicare Advantage (sometimes called Medicare Part C or MA) is a type of health insurance plan in the United States that provides Medicare benefits through a private-sector health insurer. In a Medicare Advantage plan, a Medicare beneficiary pays a monthly premium to a private insurance company and receives coverage for inpatient hospital ("Part A") and outpatient ("Part B") services. Typically, the plan also includes prescription drug ("Part D") coverage. Many plans also offer additional benefits, such as dental coverage or gym memberships. By contrast, under so-called "Original Medicare", a Medicare beneficiary pays a monthly premium to the federal government and receives coverage for Part A and Part B services, but must purchase other coverage, such as for prescription drugs, separately. This course outlines the features and benefits and compares and contrasts these plans with other Medicare coverage options.

Did you know the FBI reports cyberthreats are expected to soon surpass terrorism threats as the most dangerous of our nation’s concerns? This makes it critically important for people using the Internet in their personal or business lives to be aware of their exposures to this type of threats and the measures to protect themselves. Our discussion include privacy issues, the infringement of intellectual property, virus transmission, or any other serious trouble passing from first to third parties via the Web. We provide a thorough discussion as to why businesses need Cyber Liability insurance and Network Security Insurance. The courses closes with a discussion clarifying what Technology Errors and Omissions insurance is, and why it’s a good idea for a business to also carry that type of protection.

Ethics and the Senior Client

January 11, 2024

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join NAIFA-Mississippi on Thursday, January 11th from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for "Ethics and the Senior Client" a webinar event! 3 hours of CE credit available.

With the senior population in the United States continuing to grow as the baby boomers hit their retirement years, agents need to keep abreast of ethical responsibilities in working with these clients. Questions to consider: Should you assess senior clients differently than younger clients? Is there a difference in writing a health-based product vs. a financial-based product? Should you require a family member to be attendance at any meetings you have with a senior? Do you know your professional liability associated with working with seniors? Also, are you aware of what the concept of “Financial Capacity” means, and how it can affect your ethical responsibilities? All of these issues, and many more, are covered in the course.

Critical Illness & Disability Planning Webinar

Rick Weston, CLU, ChFC, CPCU, LUTCF, FSS

October 11, 2023

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

NAIFA-Mississippi is pleased to present you with a continuing education opportunity conducted by Career Insurance, Inc. Join us October 11, 2023 virtually from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm for Critical Illness & Disability Planning, a webinar presented by Rick Weston. 3 Hours of CE Credit available!

Experiencing a critical illness is a life-altering event. The mental, physical, financial and emotional tolls taken can devastate a family. Illnesses formerly considered terminal now are often survivable. Unfortunately, the aftermath of a critical illness can be difficult. This is where critical illness insurance and disability income insurance can save the day. With proper planning, and truly understanding what is at stake for your family, a plan of action can be prepared before this type of life event occurs. This course discusses what critical illness insurance is, and is not. We thoroughly cover what disability income insurance is, and is not. Understanding the differences in these products is important to properly plan a family’s sound financial future.
