  Whole Life Insurance

  Whole life coverage options are available to associates, their spouses, children and grandchildren. Interest-sensitive whole life insurance is designed to provide death benefits to your beneficiaries if you pass away, but it can also build cash value that you can utilize while you are still living. The policy is owned by you, so you can keep your coverage even when you retire or change jobs. As long as the premium continues to be paid, your rate is guaranteed never to increase, and your benefits can never decrease.

  Accident Insurance

  Designed to supplement employer-sponsored health coverage, accident insurance pays specific benefit amounts for expenses resulting from non-work-related injuries or accidents. Hospitalization, physical therapy, intensive care, transportation, and lodging are some of the out-of-pocket expenses that this accident insurance could cover. You do not have to be enrolled in the employer-sponsored medical plan to enroll in this benefit. Coverage is available for employees, their spouses, and/or their children. An optional rider may be added, which provides additional coverage for hospital confinement due to a covered sickness.

  Short-Term Disability

  This income protection policy can help replace a portion of the associate’s salary should they experience a disability. The plan pays monthly benefits in the event of sickness and off-the-job accidents.

  Critical Illness

  Critical Illness insurance can help supplement major medical coverage by helping associates pay the direct and indirect costs associated with a critical illness or event. Conditions covered under this program include cancer, heart attack, stroke, major organ transplant, kidney failure and paralysis (due to accident). The coverage also includes an annual health screening benefit. Benefits are paid tax-free in a lump sum to be used at the claimant’s discretion.
