Why Paramount Global Employees Should Consider Renter's Insurance: Managing Your Personal Belongings and Financial Future

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Paramount Global Paramount Global primarily offers healthcare benefits through its arrangements with major insurers. Employees often access health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace as well as employer-sponsored health plans, provided by companies like UnitedHealthcare, which is among the top insurers in the nation. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases for 2026 As premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans are projected to surge in 2026, employees of Paramount Global should brace for a significant rise in healthcare costs. Some states may see increases exceeding 60%, driven by a combination of expiring federal subsidies and escalating medical costs. Without congressional intervention, nearly 92% of marketplace enrollees could experience premium hikes of up to 75%, placing added financial pressure on employees reliant on these plans. It is crucial for workers to stay informed and consider their options carefully to mitigate the impact of these potential increases. 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.

Paramount Global 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 Paramount Global, 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.

Paramount Global 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.

Paramount Global 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 Paramount Global 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.
