TRUSTED BY:

Current Challenges with Traditional Group Plans

Not portable ☹️

Coverage disappears when employees leave.

Administrative burden

ERISA compliance and payroll integration create headaches.

Limited coverage amounts

Often too low to meet employee needs.

Narrow product types

Typically just basic term or accidental death, with no cash value or retirement-friendly options.

Participation rules

Most carriers require 50–75% enrollment.

PortableLife™ Insurance:

Add a Turn-Key Life Insurance Benefit, no Stress Attached

Offer employees portable, individually owned life insurance—at no cost, no payroll involvement, and no admin work for HR.

(which also means no ERISA)

The Benefits of PortableLife™ Insurance

Our approach brings employees meaningful, long-term financial protection while removing cost, compliance, and administrative burden from HR. Every policy is individually owned, portable, and tailored to each employee, making this a true win-win benefit for both the company and its people.

Financial Security

Employees with life insurance are far more likely to feel financially secure, which boosts performance, focus, and job satisfaction.

Voluntary Enrollment

Employees choose whether or not to enroll and how much coverage to get, without being subject to a restrictive “open enrollment” period.

No Cost, no Admin for HR

 Policies are employee-paid, with direct carrier billing (no payroll integration). Our agents will also provide all customer service for your employees’ coverage.

Expanded Product Access

Beyond term life, employees can explore permanent life insurance with cash value growth and other tax-advantaged strategies for saving and retirement.

Guaranteed Issue Coverage

We offer guaranteed issue options for employees who may not qualify medically, ensuring everyone has access to protection and peace of mind.

Recruiting & Retention Edge

Strengthen your benefits package to compete with larger employers while improving employee satisfaction, loyalty, and retention rates.

Supporting Research (LIMRA / Life Happens):

68% of life insurance owners feel financially secure, compared to only 47% of non-owners.

Just 25% of adults with only workplace life insurance coverage say they are very or extremely knowledgeable about life insurance.

More than 4 in 10 households (42%) that only have workplace life insurance coverage say their families would struggle financially in less than six months should a wage earner die unexpectedly.

As of 2023, 67% of employers said life insurance is an important benefit (up 14 percentage points from 2021).

When it comes to benefits employees are looking for in a potential employer, 30% are looking for insurance benefits such as life insurance, disability insurance, and dental insurance.

Matthew Wilson is the best insurance representative in the world. He was able to look at life insurance policies that I’ve acquired in the past and recommended better coverages for my growing family and also helped With the monthly premium. Matthew was very personable which allowed me to open up about my looming divorce and assisted me with my name change, beneficiary allocation as well.

If you are looking for someone who truly cares about provided you with a policy that is right for you, you will find that in Matthew Wilson. My late husband and I worked with Matthew to get the coverage you never want to use, but know you should have in place. We were both the picture of health in 2020, when we bought the policies. Then, a short three plus years later, my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer and passed away unexpectedly, 10 short weeks after that diagnosis. The fact that I was able to focus him, not the looming $462 k mortgage, was priceless. I am so grateful that I had that peace of mind in a time of such great stress and heartache. Matthew is not only a very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, but I find him to be a great human being, who genuinely cares about people. I highly recommend Life Matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a group life insurance plan?

L
K

No. PortableLife™ insurance policies are individually-owned. Each employee applies for and owns their own coverage, and the policy is issued directly to them. Because it is not employer-sponsored and not paid through payroll, it does not function like a traditional group benefit.

Does this create any compliance or ERISA responsibility?

L
K

No. Since the employer does not pay for the coverage, does not administer it, and does not control enrollment, the program is considered a voluntary, employee-owned benefit. PortableLife™ insurance is specifically designed to avoid ERISA and administrative burden for your organization.

Do we have to handle payroll deductions or billing?

L
K

No. PortableLife™ insurance premiums are paid directly between the employee and the carrier. There is no payroll integration, no accounting impact, and no ongoing employer involvement.

What happens if an employee leaves the company?

L
K

A PortableLife™ insurance policy is theirs — it stays in force with no changes. Because it is not tied to employment, they keep their coverage when changing jobs, retiring, or relocating.

What types of employees is this best suited for?

L
K

PortableLife™ Insurance works well for small and mid-sized companies that want to offer stronger protection and financial-wellness support to their teams — especially in roles where retention, family security, and stability matter.

Does this replace our existing group life benefit?

L
K

No — it complements it. Many employees choose to keep their group life coverage and add PortableLife™ to fill gaps and ensure they aren’t left unprotected when they leave an employer.
