Clients sometimes find themselves in the position of losing their job. In today’s economic uncertainty, business closures and layoffs are increasingly common. The loss of a job can cause serious stress for your clients, personally and financially. To help you guide your clients through a disruption in employment, we’ve created the checklist “What Issues Should I Consider If I Lose my Job?”

In this checklist, we cover a number of issues to consider when clients are facing unemployment, including:

Severance options, if any are offered
Employer benefits, including continuation of health insurance, sick pay, etc.
Eligibility for unemployment benefits
Budget adjustments
Health insurance options
Employer-sponsored retirement accounts, stock plans, and other benefits
Income tax considerations
Retirement or future employment options

This is a comprehensive checklist of the financial issues that clients need to consider surrounding a job loss.

“One client just said 'Wow, thank you for this. I would have screwed up my retirement if not for this.'”

— David, an advisor in NY

“Your software and platform are awesome and super helpful to me and my clients”

— Clinton, an Advisor in New York

“I really love the flowcharts and they are helping me explain difficult decision points/rules to my client base. In fact, I plan to upgrade so I can use some of the material on my website with my own branding.”

— An advisor in Texas

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
