While you can just protect against the possibility of unemployment, you can also cover yourself against losing your income to accident and sickness too for a little extra. As redundancies happen more and more frequently in areas where jobs were once thought to be safe, it is essential to give some thought to how you would continue to pay your mortgage if you were a victim.

For instance some payment protection providers will backdate your benefit to the first day of you being unemployed or of becoming incapacitated. Others will include more exclusions in the terms and conditions than others which have to be checked against your circumstances.

Furthermore, while Medicare Supplement plans give you 6 months before and after your birthday, Medicare Advantage plans only give you three months. Thus, the agents can come in behind the company that provided your supplement-after you have paid a couple months premium-and offer you this "free" alternative. If you have already paid premium, but haven't yet had a major illness, and you are accustomed to group health insurance where you never had to worry about premium, the Advantage plan seems closer to what you had under your company. It isn't.
