Illinois Mutual is a national mutual insurance company based in Peoria, Illinois, offering life insurance, disability income insurance, and worksite voluntary benefits. Established in 1910, it primarily serves middle-market consumers across 47 U.S. states..[1]
History
[edit]Illinois Mutual was founded in Danville, Illinois, in 1910 as the Illinois Woodmen Accident Association, a fraternal benefit society. In 1913, the company relocated its headquarters to Peoria. By 1916, it had reorganized under a mutual plan and adopted the name Illinois Mutual Casualty Company.
The company has experienced five generations of leadership within the founding McCord family. O.L. McCord became president in 1922, followed by E.A. McCord in 1935, R.A. McCord in 1963, Michel McCord in 1983, and Katie McCord Jenkins in 2011. Under various leaders, the company expanded its insurance offerings, including entering the disability insurance market in 1956 and life insurance in 1958.
Notable milestones include reaching $1 billion in in-force life premiums in 1983, $1 billion in admitted assets in 2003, supporting the first Disability Insurance Awareness Month in 2005 and celebrating the company’s centennial in 2010.[2]
Operations and financial standing
[edit]As of 2024, Illinois Mutual held a Financial Strength Rating of A− (Excellent) from AM Best, reflecting its strong ability to meet policyholder obligations.[3] The company reported assets totaling approximately $1.57 billion in 2023.
Illinois Mutual is structured as a mutual company, meaning it is owned by its policyholders rather than shareholders. The firm employs around 200 individuals and remains privately held.
Products
[edit]Illinois Mutual offers a variety of insurance products:
Life Insurance: Products include Term Life, Return of Premium Term, Whole Life, and Simplified Issue Whole Life.
Disability Insurance: The company provides individual disability policies, including simplified issue and business expense coverage. A Return of Premium (ROP) rider has returned more than $226 million to policyholders to date. In 2025, the company launched Personal Paycheck Power®, a simplified issue disability income product (Insurance Journal, 2025).[4]
Worksite Insurance: Illinois Mutual offers worksite insurance to help employers meet their employees’ voluntary benefit needs, including short-term disability, term life, critical illness, and accident insurance.
Recognitions
[edit]The company has received several external recognitions:
- Best in Class by Heart of Illinois United Way (2018)[5]
- A+ accreditation Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics (2022)
- Centennial Business Award from the Illinois State Historical Society (2022)
- Certified as a Great Place To Work® for the last 5 years.[6]
- Katie McCord Jenkins was inducted into the Bradley University Centurion Society in 2022.[7]
- Recognized as a top disability insurance company by Policy Genius in 2024.[8]
