Voluntary Benefits
Accident, Critical Illness, and Pet Insurance coverage are available to you, your spouse, and your dependent children. However, employees must have coverage in order for their spouse and children to obtain coverage.
Voluntary Benefits are just that, voluntary. The costs for voluntary benefits are 100% paid by the employee.
