How is the financial protection industry helping people during COVID-19?
#1 – You can borrow from your retirement savings in 2020 to help make ends meet.
- According to The CARES Act, if you are eligible, you can withdraw up to $100,000 from your retirement savings AND the traditional 10% tax penalty for early withdrawal will be waived. Some plans will let you borrow from savings as a loan, and delay repayments for up to 1 year.
- You may be eligible to borrow from retirement savings if…
- you have been quarantined, furloughed, laid off, or reduced hours
- unable to work due to lack of childcare
- you own a business and operations have been impacted by COVID-19
#2 – Small businesses can leverage financial aid and savings policies.
- Many small businesses turn to life insurers to support their 401(k)s and IRAs, often leveraging annuities in retirement to secure guaranteed lifetime income.
- Nearly one-third of small business owners have life insurance with cash values that can help with company liquidity needs in these trying times.
