Benefits Overview
Reliance Standard is offering Critical Illness Insurance and Accident Insurance with a new effective date of March 1, 2012.
Synod of the Pacific is giving participating churches and employees a last chance to take a look at these two new group plans being offered under our voluntary benefits program. Employees can also still apply for Term Life Insurance for this extended period. Please note that a church participating in at least one of the Synod's medical and /or dental benefit plans, with at least one employee enrolled, are eligible to have any of their employees (working at least 20 hours per week) enroll in one, two or all of these plans!
This is the final offering by Reliance this year for the two new plans and requires enough interest from employees in order to implement one, or both, plans.
