> Dependent Property This refers to a kind of business-interruption endorsement on a commercial policy that protects you from financial losses caused by problems somewhere other than your business. “Dependent property” is defined as property not owned, operated or controlled by you but on which you are dependent for normal business operations.
> Weather The impact of weather on businesses is more complex than you might think. Weather obviously affects outdoor operations that depend on fair weather — for example, events like fairs, festivals, concerts, sporting events or filming.
> Employment practices This kind of coverage will help defend against employment-related claims such as sexual harassment, age discrimination, or wrongful termination. Some policies offer legal assistance; others may pay both legal costs and damages.
Mass Mutual Life Insurance Company Establishes Major Aid Program
(Springfield, Mass.) - MassMutual Financial Group announced today a major relief effort designed to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. Among the key provisions: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) will make a $250,000 donation to the American Red Cross to aid efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and will significantly and temporarily expand its employee matching gift program to enable eligible employees and sales representatives to have their donations to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army double matched by the company.
In addition to the donation to the American Red Cross, MassMutual's employee matching gift program has been expanded to allow MassMutual to match employee contributions to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army on a 2-for-1 basis. For example, for every dollar sent by MassMutual employees to the American Red Cross or Salvation Army, MassMutual will match that gift with $2. This program will continue for the next 60 days.

Generally, you must report as income any amount you receive for your disability through an accident or health insurance plan paid for by your employer.
If both you and your employer have paid the premiums for the plan, only the amount you receive for your disability that is due to your employer's payments is reported as income. If you pay the entire cost of a health or accident insurance plan, do not include any amounts you receive for your disability as income on your tax return. If you pay the premiums of a health or accident insurance plan through a cafeteria plan, and the amount of the premium was not included as taxable income to you; the premiums are considered paid by your employer, and the disability benefits are fully taxable.
