 As we move into the second month of 2020, there are so many things to consider when thinking about your insurance. We're going to take a moment and direct you back to some of our most important and most informative posts throughout the past couple of years.  Image by Markéta Machová from Pixabay Happy New Year!
As we move on into 2020 we'd like to (hopefully) point you in the right direction when it comes to your home, life, auto and Medicare insurance needs. Medicare 2020 changes are in effect. Some will see an increase in their Social Security check as well as an increase in Medicare Part B premiums AND Medicare Part B annual deductible. Medicare Open Enrollment is underway and will continue until March 31st. If you're in need of a local Medicare insurance agent, please feel free to give one of ours a call at:337-439-7730. We have an extra day to fill up this year as 2020 is a Leap Year. What are you going to do with your extra day? And we can't go any further without a salute to our LSU Tigers, 2020 National Champions! We hope your New Year has started out blessed, and continues to be so. Until next time, take care and remember.....Geaux Tigahs!

Business has slowed to a more normal pace around the office. We here at Curtis Insurance / Curtis & Associates would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Blessed & Prosperous New Year. Our office will close at 12:00 NOON on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, Dec. 24th) and be closed on Christmas Day (Wednesday, Dec. 25th). We will resume normal business hours (9-5) on Thursday, Dec. 26th.

If you are looking for something different, something special to give a close friend, family member or loved one, consider a Life Insurance policy. We have special single, premium annuities that protect your money and your beneficiary from taxation that might otherwise be imposed on a cash gift or inheritance. If you’d like more information on this type of plan, please give our Licensed Life Insurance Specialist a call and set an appointment to discuss your options.

Life and Medicare Products marketed through Curtis & Associates Financial Services, Inc. {A Life and Health Agency}  We’ve done our best to educate and inform you on all aspects of Medicare here on our website and blog. Today we’re going to share with you the changes we know are coming down from Medicare in 2020.
 Our sister company, Curtis & Associates has been offering Medicare plans for several years now and it always amazes me to find so many people who have a Medicare plan but no local agent. Many choose to go it alone and do their Medicare shopping online or directly through the company.
That’s fine, good and well for some, but it turns out to be a nightmare for many.  Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay In February we did a post explaining what 'Insure Your Love' was all about and in it, we mentioned that September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. These have been instituted by the non-profit organization, Life Happens. So I thought I'd share some more interesting information I found on life insurance....
Did you know that unclaimed life insurance benefits are paid to your state? I recently discovered that fact and that there are over $1 Billion dollars in unclaimed benefits out there!  Image by Open Clipart-Vectors from Pixabay It’s that time of year again…time when the kids are going back to school. And time when many young drivers will be out on the road, driving to class or extra-curricular activities. Perhaps even an after-school job. As adults, we’re used to road rules and know where everything is in our vehicles should we need to access them quickly. But our teenage and young-adult children aren’t. So, we’ve compiled a short list of things to do and check to provide a safe and confident environment for inexperienced drivers.  Image by kai kalhh from Pixabay Last year about this time, we talked about Insurance and Patriotism. Memorial and Flag Day have recently passed, and Independence Day is right around the corner so I thought this would be a good time to speak to you about Veterans and Medicare and Medicare for Veterans.
Before we get into that, do you know the history behind Flag Day? June 14th is the anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripes as official flag in 1777. After three decades of state and local celebrations, Flag Day was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. In 1949 President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th as National Flag Day. Amazing isn’t it that our government allows this day to be a Federal Holiday, although all Federal establishments may not honor it? Now let’s talk about Veterans and Medicare…. |
