You never know when an unexpected illness or injury could leave you and your family with financial difficulties.  Health insurance can help, but you can still have deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket expenses.

That’s where voluntary benefits come in.  Sometimes called supplemental insurance, voluntary benefits are designed to complement your health insurance and help provide extra financial protection. 

In addition, you’ll have access to the following:

  • KOFE- financial education through phone access to financial counselors, webinars and calculators
  • LawAssure- one year of access to legal document preparation
  • WellCard- a card that provides discounts on prescription drugs, discounts on medical and dental expenses, access to medical bill consultation and more
