Dear ILA Member,

Barnett and Associates’ corporate office is located in the greater New Orleans area and have been serving the needs of Longshoremen and their families since 1987.

As concerns about the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) increase, we may have limited access to our office.   Our agents and staff stand ready to assist you in answering questions, or helping you file a claim should the need arise, but we ask for patience during this time.   If you have an ongoing claim, we recommend speaking directly with your carrier for any questions/information regarding your claim.

Barnett and Associates is the only company in the country that can write Disability Insurance for Longshoremen, covering you both on and off the job. We provide coverage for Accident Disability, Sickness Disability, Accident Benefits, and Life Insurance to all ILA members and their families. Many of our plans are guaranteed issue, which allows us to provide these products without the need for medical exams or tests. This means coverage is available for those with pre-existing conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, or heart problems.

On this website you will find plans that will provide you coverage both on and off the job. We have brochures that illustrate our plans, as well as an explanation of terms to assist you in better understanding the products. Barnett and Associates can build a plan to meet any need and any budget. Premiums can be paid weekly through a payroll deduction basis or through your bank account or credit union.

Please call our office at 504-834-1636 or 1-800-888-2724 with any questions, or regarding enrollment into one of our valuable Disability, Accident, or Life Insurance plans.

Thank you,

James S. Barnett, President
Barnett and Associates
