Supplemental Coverage for Washoe County Employees
Washoe County is northern Nevada's largest county government, administering services for the Reno-Sparks metropolitan area. Its employees range from social workers and assessors to IT professionals and public health specialists. Group life coverage through the county often provides only a fraction of what these professionals need to protect their families. Supplemental individual life insurance from an A-rated (A.M. Best) carrier closes this gap with portable, appropriately sized coverage. Agents in our network serve Washoe County employees and understand northern Nevada's employment landscape.
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier. No personalized coverage recommendation is made — work with a licensed agent to determine what is right for your situation.
