The Lakewood Resoruce and Referral Center and MassMutual Sponsor Second Set

    LAKEWOOD, N.J., July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- MassMutual Financial Group, locally
represented by Mr. Shimshon (Sam) Lowy, CLTC of Emerald Financial Resources,
is hosting its second set of application meetings with the Lakewood Resource
and Referral Center for parents to apply for free $50,000 term life insurance
policies under MassMutual's philanthropic LifeBridge(SM) Free Life Insurance
Program.  If an insured parent or legal guardian passes away during the 10-
year term of the policy, $50,000 is put in trust to pay solely for the
educational expenses of their dependent children.
   
Lowy is donating his time to offer the program to the community through
the Lakewood Resource and Referral Center and the Lakewood Schools.  "After
already giving away nearly $2.5 million in free insurance coverage last
January in Lakewood, we are pleased to extend this opportunity to more
families locally," said Lowy.  "Our philanthropic goal is to ensure that as
many families as possible apply for LifeBridge.  There is no cost to any
insured person or his family because MassMutual pays the premiums.  The peace
of mind provided is invaluable."
   
Application meetings are scheduled at the Hollander Hotzalah Building, 501
W. County Line Rd., on Monday, July 9th, from 9:30 - noon and 3 - 7 p.m.  
Appointments can be made by call 1-800-767-1000 ext. 22051.  Appointments are
preferred; walk-ins are welcome.
       
LifeBridge applicants must meet all program criteria and be:
         * between the ages of 19-42 (inclusive);

         * a permanent, legal U.S. resident;

         * the parent or legal guardian of one or more dependent children
           under the age of 18;

         * currently employed - either full- or part-time - and have a family
           income of between $10,000 and $40,000 on their most recent income
           tax return; and

         * in good health, as determined by MassMutual's guidelines.

Each LifeBridge policy has a 10-year policy term.  If the insured parent
or legal guardian dies during that time, the $50,000 life insurance benefit
will be paid to a trust administered by the MassMutual Trust Company, FSB on
behalf of the children. The trust pays the educational expenses of the
children directly to the educational institution.
   
Various types of schools qualify for reimbursement including pre-school,
private school, vocational school, community college, universities, art and
music schools or graduate schools.  Some of the expenses covered include
books, tuition, and on-campus room and board.
