Short-Term Disability Insurance

AFLAC
The American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC) offers eligible employees the opportunity to purchase (through payroll deductions) short-term disability insurance and/or cancer insurance should they become unable to work because of a qualifying disability due to an injury or illness.

Details of the short-term disability benefit plan including benefit amounts, when they are payable, and limitations, restrictions, and other exclusions are described in the summary plan description provided to eligible employees. Open enrollment for short-term disability insurance occurs once per year.

Cancer insurance assists families with non-medical expenses rarely covered by major medical insurance.  Upon initiating such a policy, insurance premiums are paid through deduction.  Should an employee leave CCRI, continuation of coverage is possible through direct payment to AFLAC under the terms and conditions of the coverage.

To obtain AFLAC's coverage details, plan costs, and enrollment information, contact CCRI's AFLAC representative, Celeste Dion, at 401-345-0372.
