PROTECT YOUR GREATEST RESOURCE: YOUR EMPLOYEES

Helping to protect employees against worst-case scenarios is not only smart, but also a caring and responsible thing to do. The Hartford can help meet the needs of all types of businesses and their employees with dependent group life programs and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

GROUP LIFE INSURANCE

The Hartford offers an industry-leading group life insurance product which includes the following features:

  • Our Enhanced Continuity of Coverage Clause that prevents employees from being stranded without coverage on our policy transfer date – even if they’re not actively at work on that day.
  • Our Living Benefit Option that accelerates the benefits of terminally ill employees or dependents up to $500,000.
  • Our No Interruption in Premium Waiver Elimination Period for employees who attempt to return to work for up to five days.
  • Our Portability Option and Conversion is offered with our life insurance product. Employees who leave their company, or are under other qualifying conditions, can take all or a portion of their coverage with them.
  • A variety of programs that give employees access to online tools and services that can help guide them through major life decisions, such as creating a will and funeral planning.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT INSURANCE (AD&D)

Accidents don’t just happen to employees in dangerous jobs; they can happen to anyone. So it makes sense to offer employees protection with AD&D coverage from The Hartford. These are just some of the features included in our coverage:

  • Protection for children, spouses and employees against losses from unforeseen covered accidents.
  • Twenty-four-hour accident coverage that can be combined with your Group Life offering or purchased as a stand-alone product.
  • A valuable package of riders offering important additional coverages.
  • An array of optional benefits that allow for a customized experience.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE

Our Long-Term Disability Insurance product is carefully designed to emphasize ability, not limitations. It helps address an employee’s need for a secure income with a business’ need for the best possible work outcome.

  • The way we define disability can help employees avoid a loss in earnings, with a 100% return to work incentive formula.
  • Ability Assist® is a value-added service designed to help provide employees with emotional, legal, and financial guidance and make it easier for them to focus on their recovery.
  • A rehabilitation program that offers vocational and job placement services, as well as work-related guidance and resources.
