American Income Life and Firefighter Credit Unions



Dear Firefighter Credit Union,
While some of our NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Union members have been participating in the American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) “no cost” benefits programs for many years, we would like to introduce AIL and its offerings to all of our NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Unions not currently participating. I have asked the Public Relations/Marketing Representative from AIL to contact you to discuss making their No Cost Benefit Program available to your NCOFCU Credit Union. AIL is strongly committed to serving Firefighter Credit Unions and the working family agenda.
The benefits program available through AIL includes the following:

  • $3,000 group Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefit, which is provided at no cost to all members of your credit union
  • Health Services Discount Card providing up to 60% discounts on Vision Care, Hearing Aids,Prescription Medication, and Chiropractic Care (Not available in all states.)
  • Child Safe Kits endorsed by the International Union of Police Associations
  • After several discussions with AIL regarding their products, we have found the no-cost benefits to be beneficial to NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Union members and their families.

We have, therefore, encouraged AIL to contact each NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Union that they are not working with to explain the programs and provide the necessary details for implementing them. There is no obligation for any NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Unions to participate.
If a NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Union elects to participate, the following should be kept in mind. Each member will receive a letter from their NCOFCU Firefighter Credit Union telling them that they are covered for this benefit at “no cost” to the member.
After the announcement letter, the AIL representative would call on each member that has returned the prepaid reply card to explain the AD&D benefit, deliver the Certificate of Coverage and obtain the beneficiary designation. Although each member of a participating NCOFCU Credit Union is covered from the date the NCOFCU Credit Union is issued the group policy, it is still important that the member have the opportunity to understand the coverage and designate a beneficiary.
When the AIL representatives call on members who have returned their reply card, in addition to providing the service of explaining the benefit plan, they will make available to the members (on a voluntary basis, of course) information on the additional insurance programs AIL offers.
At no point is there ever any cost to your NCOFCU Credit Union relative to the mailing, printing, postage, etc. We urge you to consider participating in this program being made available by American Income Life Insurance Company. \ 
For more information contact our representative,  Crystal Senour, Public Relations/Marketing Specialist, AIL Ins.Co.,Inc, crsenour@ailife.com, 908-442-2046

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

Many CUs Likely to Face New Operating Challenges "Michael Moebs"

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge. Michael Moebs, economist and chairman of Moebs $ervices, is offering that forecast following his company’s new overdraft study, which has found overall net OD revenue for 2023 was down 5.7%, with banks dipping by 8.1% to $31.4 billion, thrifts falling by 28.6%. and credit unions actually increasing net revenue 2.2%. The study further reveals the m...

Andrew Pilecki, the current fire chief of Wendelville Volunteer Fire Company, has been re-elected to the board of directors of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York. Pilecki has been a member of the fire service for more than four decades, including the past 22 years as a responder with the Wendelville company. Previously he was an active member of Columbia Hook and Ladder Co. He’s also a former assistant director of emergency management for the City of North Tonawanda.
