We're pleased to share great news that underscores the strength of the Massachusetts Bankers Association's group insurance program. Thanks to the collective buying power of our member banks, we have secured another one-year rate hold with The Hartford on all current life and disability plans, helping ensure cost stability and competitive benefits for our members.

This rate hold will apply to all member banks participating in our program from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.

We understand many banks are preparing for annual enrollment and wanted to provide this positive update as early as possible.

At this time, we are still awaiting the statutory rate updates (MA PFML). We will share those details as soon as they become available.

Please feel free to contact Chad Pook with any questions or concerns.
