What Are Voluntary Benefits?
Sometimes called “supplemental insurance,” these often employee-paid benefits can stand alone or fill gaps in major medical and other insurance coverage.
Paid directly to the employee, they help personalize benefits packages to fit individual needs. Employees use them for:
CO-PAYS OR CO-INSURANCE
TRAVEL EXPENSES
HOUSEHOLD BILLS
REPLACING WAGES OR SAVINGS
83%
of workers with health care coverage would enroll in a voluntary benefits program without expecting their employer to pay for it
