MetLife Inc. is aiming a new education effort at employers to promote group life insurance to employees.
MetLife, New York, is offering an on-line white paper, Three Steps to Closing the Underinsured Gap: Evaluate, Enhance and Educate, to outline steps employers can take to boost group life benefits programs and make an important impact on the lives of beneficiaries.
The report is based largely on a MetLife survey of surviving spouses, which found more than half of the widows and widowers who collected life insurance proceeds received an amount less than one year of their household income.
