Our plans provide incentives for disabled employees to return to work.

Group Disability Insurance

Group Long Term Disability (LTD) and Short Term Disability (STD) policies protect employees' assets and your clients' assets as well - by providing incentives for disabled employees to return to independent, productive lives as quickly as possible.

Our plans are designed to keep costs in control for both employers and employees. Employers can determine the benefit levels that fit their budgetary considerations, as well as plan details such as waiting periods and benefit durations.

Plan integration and return-to-work support

Our group STD and LTD plans are designed to complement each other. A key element in managing LTD claims better is early involvement in the STD claims process. Employees also benefit from options that may include supportive clinical programs and rehabilitative services - incentives toward the goal of recovery and a return to independent, productive work.
