Long Term Disability

Long Term Disability 150 150 nccsadmin

Long Term Disability

Disability insurance is an extremely important coverage that will replace your income if you become disabled due to sickness or injury and cannot work. Through the Long-term Disability policy with ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (through VOYA), your NCC has made provision for your income replacement should the need arise. Most importantly, because it is an employer-provided benefit, it costs you nothing.

All regular full-time employees of the North American Division as defined by individual employers, are covered under the LTD plan. In the event you become disabled and remain so throughout the 90-day elimination period, LTD will replace your lost income at 66.67% to a maximum of $6,000 per month.

Supplemental Life is a voluntary insurance program that allows eligible employees to add to the Basic Life protection provided by the Northern California Conference. Active part-time or more, regular employees (working a minimum of 19 hours per week) may elect to provide coverage for themselves, their spouse, and dependent children. Only dependent unmarried children under age 26 are eligible. New enrollees may elect up to $250,000 without medical evidence. Coverage for spouses is available for new enrollees up to $30,000 without medical evidence. Child coverage may be elected up to $25,000 in $1,000 increments. The premium cost will be deducted from your payroll.

Sunlife Supplemental Insurances

Sunlife Supplemental Insurances

We are excited to offer these benefits provided by SunLife, formerly known as Assurant Employee Benefits.

Below you will find details of the plans that will be available for you to elect:

HOW CAN ACCIDENT INSURANCE HELP?
For covered accidental injuries, fixed benefits are paid directly to you regardless of your other coverages and you can spend it any way you choose. Benefits are paid according to a fixed schedule that includes benefits for hospitalization, fractures and dislocations, emergency room visits, and more.

HOW CAN CANCER INSURANCE HELP?

Cancer insurance provides fixed benefits for early detection and treatment of certain kinds of cancer, including related expenses such as screenings, hospital confinement, radiation, chemotherapy, surgery and more. Benefits are paid directly to you regardless of any other coverage you may have and you can spend it any way you choose.

HOW CAN CRITICAL ILLNESS INSURANCE HELP?

For many, a critical illness can expose an individual to an unexpected gap in protection. While health plans may help cover many of the direct costs associated with a critical illness, related expenses such as travel to and from treatment, high deductibles and co-pays may quickly diminish savings.

HOW CAN LIFE INSURANCE HELP?

An unexpected death can have devastating financial consequences for survivors — consequences that can linger long after the initial shock and grief. Adequate life insurance can help your family manage expenses and make a very difficult transition less painful.

HOW CAN SHORT-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE HELP?

Short-Term Disability insurance provides income assistance and a way to help you pay your bills and keep your life as normal as possible if you become sick or injured and cannot work.
