Voluntary Benefits are offered to help address the individual needs of you and your family with advantages that otherwise might not be available to you on your own. Your voluntary benefit offerings are designed to complement your benefits package and provide additional security for you and your family.
A Premier Worksite Benefits representative will be onsite, on the following dates/times, in the Cafeteria to explain these valuable benefits, answer questions and enroll those who wish to participate.
Wednesday, August 23rd – Friday, August 25th, 2023: 7am—12pm and 3pm—7pm

Acceptance: In many cases, you and immediate family members will have a better opportunity to obtain coverage through this offering than you would on your own, especially if any medical conditions or concerns are present.

Permanent Life Insurance
Life Insurance helps take care of your loved one’s immediate and future financial needs following your death. Immediate needs can include burial/funeral expenses, uninsured medical costs and current bills and debts. Future needs could include income replacement, education plans, ongoing family obligations, emergency funds, and retirement expenses.
As people move through the stages of life, certain factors dictate the type of life insurance they need. During working years, an employer may provide Term Life insurance, but the Unum Whole Life product is designed to last for the remainder of your life and can help give peace of mind because the money you spend builds cash value that you can use later in life or add to the term benefit payout. The graph below illustrates the need for term and permanent whole life insurance throughout the various stages of life.
