The importance of life insurance for first responders!

Hi,

I would like to emphasize the importance of life insurance for first responders, and how American Income Life (AIL) can provide valuable coverage for them. As you know, first responders put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. It's important that they have access to quality life insurance that can provide financial security for their families in the event of a tragedy.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an average of 58,150 firefighter injuries occur annually in the United States. In addition, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported that 475 firefighters died while on duty between 2006 and 2015. These statistics demonstrate the significant risks and hazards that first responders face while performing their duties.

AIL has been a trusted provider of life insurance for first responders for nearly 70 years. They understand the unique risks and challenges that first responders face, and they are committed to providing comprehensive coverage that meets their specific needs. By partnering with AIL, your credit union can offer your members access to this valuable coverage, which can provide peace of mind and financial security.

Furthermore, credit unions earning non-interest income is crucial for their growth and sustainability. Non-interest income can be generated through various means such as fees, commissions, and partnerships. A partnership with AIL, for example, can provide credit unions with a value-added benefit for their members while also generating additional income for the credit union.

I urge you to consider the benefits of offering AIL's life insurance program to your members, and to speak with Travis Daniels, the Public Relations/Marketing Representative from AIL, to learn more about how this program can benefit your credit union and its members. Thank you for your dedication to serving your members and for your support of NCOFCU's mission.

Vought: ‘We’re Closing Down The CFPB’ — White House Budget Chief Says Agency Will Shut Down Within Months

10/16/2025 09:03 am WASHINGTON—White House Budget Director Russell Vought said Wednesday he plans to shut down the CFPB, PYMNTS reported. Russell Vought Speaking on The Charlie Kirk Show , Vought said only a handful of employees remain at the CFPB’s Washington headquarters “while we close down the agency,” adding that he expects the process to be completed “within the next two or three months.” Vought’s remarks come amid a series of legal challenges targeting the Administration’s attempts to scale back or dismantle the CFPB. The Administration is currently facing lawsuits from a CFPB labor union and consumer advocacy groups, which argue that Trump lacks the authority to dismiss most of the Bureau’s staff or eliminate the agency altogether. On Wednesday, Vought repeated long-standing Republican criticisms that the CFPB has exceeded its authority and imposed unfair burdens on smaller financial institutions, PYMNTS noted. “All they want to do is wea...

Understanding the Fed’s Balance Sheet

Chair Jerome H. Powell Monetary policy is more effective when the public understands what the Federal Reserve does and why. With that in mind, I hope to enhance understanding of one of the more arcane and technical aspects of monetary policy: the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. A colleague recently compared this topic to a trip to the dentist, but that comparison may be unfair—to dentists. 1 Today, I will discuss the essential role our balance sheet played during the pandemic, along with some lessons learned. I will then review our ample reserves implementation framework and the progress we have made toward normalizing the size of our balance sheet. I will conclude with some brief remarks on the economic outlook. Background on the Fed's Balance Sheet One of the primary purposes of a central bank is to provide the monetary foundation for the financial system and the broader economy. This foundation is made of central bank liabilities. On the Fed's balance sheet, the liabili...
