Great referrals & testimonials

Hello all. I got this testimonial a short time ago and I was literally in tears. It feels so good to be able to assist others.

Our very own Katherine, Wichmann-Zacharias recently helped my pregnant daughter and her husband. She was having issues with her COBRA and so I referred her to Katherine who I had met through EWomen Network. I remembered her describing her extensive experience with COBRA insurance. Well, in this particular case she wasn't able to get them a policy at this time but did refer her to where she could access just what she needed. This was huge for this little family waiting on their first little baby that they have tried for 2 1/2 years to conceive. To help with lowering the financial burden for them is huge for their piece of mind. I will continue to recommend Katherine to others as she really does have their welfare in mind.
Thank you Katherine!
Sincerely,
Carrie Tomseth

Check out www.eWomenNetwork.com. It's been the best networking group and referral source for me.
Please remember to give people referrals and thank them for their help if they do a good job for you. Have a great dry weekend!

When Seniors Don't Understand Reverse Mortgages

KNOW: Some vendors of reverse mortgages bundle their transactions with fees, commissions and conditions that older Americans often do not understand. Enticed by the lure of easy money, a growing number of seniors wind up losing their homes and all the equity in them, according to a special report in Consumer Reports.

DO: Trusted advisors alert their clients to the danger of doing business with high-pressure salesmen peddling reverse mortgages who extract outrageous fees. Partner with a reputable reverse-mortgage vendor to refer your clients to.

Cobra subsidy expiring soon

COBRA/CalCOBRA Subsidy Expiration
A 65% Federal subsidy was provided in 2009 to those who continued their employer-sponsored coverage. Without this subsidy, individuals could see their monthly payments increase more than 240% (from $374 to $1,068 on average), making continuing coverage very expensive.
