U.S. insurance companies have begun creating and marketing low-cost life, disability and unemployment plans for low-skilled immigrant workers in the U.S., who until now have been "largely ignored" by financial services firms, the Washington Post reports. Some companies, including AIG and Microfinance International, are developing educational workshops on insurance that can be presented at work sites for immigrant workers, the Post reports. Craig Silvertooth, director of federal affairs for the National Roofing Contractors Association, noted that benefits packages can help with retention, adding, "If it could be expanded to include some kind of health care component, that would certainly help us out." Maryland-based Marriott of Bethesda recently launched a program to help address immigrant workers' health care by offering no-cost nurse consultations in both English and Spanish, the Post reports (Williams, Washington Post, 8/8).
