Insuring our Future: Judy visits with actress Molly Shannon during a reception on Capitol Hill. Ms. Shannon, a former cast member of Saturday Night Live, is this year’s spokesperson for Life Insurance Awareness Month, a national campaign to educate consumers about their life insurance needs and take the actions necessary to achieve financial security for their families. Biggert is the sponsor of H.Res. 584, a resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Life Insurance Awareness Month.
“There are still far too many stories of families that have had their tragedies compounded because they lacked sufficient resources,” said Biggert. “Because of insufficient or no coverage, family members often are forced to work extra jobs or longer hours, borrow money, or move to less desirable housing.”
