Why American International Group Employees Should Consider Renter's Insurance: Managing Your Personal Belongings and Financial Future

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for American International Group American International Group (AIG) does not operate its own health insurance plans but partners with various insurance providers to offer services. Key partners include major healthcare insurers such as UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Cigna, among others. These collaborations allow AIG to provide diverse health insurance options to its clients in a variety of markets. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As AIG navigates the changing healthcare landscape, a significant rise in health insurance premiums is anticipated for 2026, particularly within the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. Reports indicate that some states may experience premium hikes exceeding 60%, driven by factors such as increasing medical costs, the expiration of federal premium subsidies, and aggressive rate increases by major insurers. Without congressional action to extend enhanced subsidies, an estimated 22 million enrollees could face out-of-pocket premium increases of over 75%, potentially pricing many middle-income Americans out of affordable coverage. This convergence of market forces poses substantial challenges for both insurers and consumers alike, reshaping the healthcare landscape in the coming years. Click here to learn more

Renters sometimes overlook the need for insurance based on the belief that they may not have a significant amount of personal possessions, or because the property is already insured by the owner.

American International Group employees must note how while it is true that a rental property is insured by the owner, the destruction or loss of your personal belongings is not. But, that’s not the only risk renters need to worry about.

The typical renter’s insurance policy can cover your possessions against losses arising from fire, smoke, lightning, theft, vandalism, explosion, wind storm and water damage (excluding floods).

If you are employed at American International Group, even if you don’t believe that the value of your personal possessions warrants insurance protection (though you may think differently after an inventory of their value), renter’s insurance covers other potential risks that can adversely impact your finances.

American International Group employees must note that renter’s insurance is designed to cover damages and costs in the event that visitors are injured in your apartment or elsewhere by you, your pet, or a family member living with you. This includes any legal defense expenses if you are taken to court.

A renter’s policy may also cover additional living expenses should you be unable to live in your apartment due to a covered peril, such as fire, though the policy may set limits on how much you will be reimbursed.

American International Group employees should make sure to know whether a policy insures for actual cash value (pays to replace your possessions after reducing for depreciation) or for replacement cost (which pays the actual cost of replacing items, up to policy limits). In most cases, replacement cost coverage is the smarter option.

If you are employed at American International Group and have any possessions of particularly high value such as art or jewelry, you may want to add a floater to the standard renter’s insurance policy.
