Aflac Voluntary Benefits
Riverside Welcomes Aflac!
Product Overview
Based on employee feedback and Total Rewards' analysis of our core benefit structure, the Aflac products are intended to meet the needs of team members and to help fill "gaps" team members may experience in the current benefit coverage. Aflac plans pay cash benefits to you.
New 2013 Aflac Plans
- Group Short Term Disability (STD) – helps protect your income in the event you are unable to work. Certain restrictions apply on coordination of benefits.
- Group Critical Illness – helps pay expenses that arise from the diagnosis of critical illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, renal failure, major transplants or occupational HIV.
- Group Accident – helps pays for out-of-pocket costs that arise from common accidents such as fractures, dislocations, and lacerations. 24-hour coverage.
Aflac will offer "guaranteed issue" coverage for Short Term Disability (STD) and Critical Illness up to a specified amount during this Open Enrollment only. This means that all eligible full time, part time, and pay partial team members will be eligible for coverage without answering health questions. If you elect coverage in excess of the guarantedd issue amount ($2,500/month STD limit or $35,000 Critical Illness for employee limit), your excess amount will be subject to underwriting approval. Accident insurance is offered at guaranteed issue during this Open Enrollment only - no underwriting is required to qualify for coverage.
You will automatically be directed to the Aflac enrollment site during the Benefit Open Enrollment process via Lawson Employee Self Service (ESS).
If you have questions during this year's Open Enrollment period, contact Aflac customer service at 1-800-433-3036. Aflac representatives will be available to take your call Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. You have the option to leave a voice mail message, and, if you do, calls will be returned within 24 hours or the next business day.
