Vision Plans – relatively inexpensive benefit. It is however, a very important one. Studies have shown that most
errors/mistakes are made by employees who should be wearing glasses but don’t since they are not covered by a
vision plan at work.
Life Insurance – most group Life Insurance plans will offer a guaranteed issue amount even if an employee has a
medical condition. It is one of the best ways to obtain Life Insurance at a cost that is less expensive than an individual
policy. Chose from Term, Universal or Whole Life Products.
DBL – mandatory NYS Disability offers coverage up to 26 weeks with a maximum weekly payment of $170 which is
taxable. Many employers look to enhance this benefit with a short term disability benefit and some opt to add a long
term disability plan to maximize coverage.
Voluntary Benefits – these plans are individual but are offered through a group plan. They are normally paid 100%
by the employee. Most can be on a pre-tax basis. They are:
• Specific Disease – this is coverage for cancer which helps pay for both medical and non-medical expenses.
• Short Term Disability – assists you paying for your expenses while you are unable to work.
• Accident - benefits are received depending on the type of accident incurred.
• Hospital Confinement – can help protect you against out of pocket expenses, such as, deductibles and copays,
which are associated with a hospital stay.
• Life Insurance – Term or Universal. Term is the least expensive type of Life Insurance while Universal is more
costly but builds up cash value. You decide which one meets your needs.
Long Term Care – provides assistance when an individual can no longer perform the activities of daily living.
Benefits can be received as an inpatient or at home.
Pet Insurance – as much as you try to keep your pets safe and healthy, accidents and illnesses can still happen. This
coverage will help you afford the care your pet needs. As a member of GNYADA you are entitled to a group discount
of 10% and received an additional 10% if you cover multiple pets.
Flexible Spending Accounts – allows employees to set aside a percentage of their pay on a pre-tax basis for eligible
medical expenses ($2,550/yr.), dependent care ($5,000/yr.), parking ($250/mo.), and transit ($130/mo.).
Senior Services –we can address the health insurance needs of your senior employees before and after they turn 65.
There are benefits to both employees and employers.
