If you're an eligible employee, you can also enroll in any of the supplemental benefit choices listed below. You must enroll to be covered and you'll pay the full cost of coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependents. Choose a plan or topic from below to learn more.
 
Income protection in the event of illness, injury or disability
These benefits provide a level of income protection should you be unable to work due to a qualifying illness, injury or medical condition. 

• Long-Term Disability (LTD) Plan - Optional Coverage You can purchase LTD Optional Coverage to provide additional benefits that, when combined with the company-paid LTD Basic Coverage, provide you with a total of 60 percent of your annualized regular pay up to the Internal Revenue Code limit. (LTD provides benefits to eligible employees who remain disabled after 180 days of disability or use all of their Short-Term Disability and earned vacation benefits, whichever is later.) 

Auto and home insurance
Group Auto and Home Insurance offers access to a wide range of personal property and casualty insurance policies, including auto and home insurance, with the ease of payroll deduction for premium payments.

Financial support in the event of a serious event

These events are often costly and can quickly drain savings or induce unexpected financial strain.
