Every day, thousands of people are diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer or suffer from a heart attack or stroke. The costs associated with a serious illness can be catastrophic – even if you have medical insurance.

Critical Illness and Cancer benefits reimburse you directly – above and beyond any medical plan that covers you and your family.

  • The benefit amount you and your spouse may elect is displayed with the cost per paycheck
  • Premiums are deducted from your paycheck on a post-tax basis
  • Benefit payments are non-taxable
