Voluntary Long Term Disability
This is offered at 60% of pre-disability earnings with a maximum monthly benefit of $6,000.
Whole Life Insurance
Whole Life Insurance is a policy that is owned by the employee; it can never be cancelled, even if their health changes. Because the employee owns it, they can take it with them if change jobs or retire with no change in the premium. It helps ensure that short- and long-term financial obligations could be taken care of if something unforeseen should happen. This is a great benefit to supplement other life insurance coverages.

This coverage is designed to provide (to the insured person) coverage for certain losses resulting from an accident only (does not provide reimbursement of medical expenses, and does not replace medical insurance).
