Voluntary Life and Disability Plans

Aetna Voluntary Term Life Plan

An untimely death can impact your family emotionally and financially.

3 out of 10 households have no life insurance.¹

This valuable insurance coverage gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones’ finances are more secure.

Life insurance protects those who depend on you and your paycheck. If you die unexpectedly, life insurance provides your family with income to be used to pay for medical and funeral costs or everyday living expenses. Unfortunately, many families today are not prepared for an untimely death.

The average cost of a funeral today is over $10,000.²

That’s why it’s important to have life insurance that gives you and your family real peace of mind without large expense.

Losing your income can be a life-changing event.

A disabling injury happens every second — or 60 per minute.³

This valuable insurance coverage pays a portion of your income for up to 6 months if you can’t work.
Your job provides the money needed for you and your family’s expenses — a home, car, food, clothing, child care, and more. However, this can quickly come to an end if a disabling injury or sickness prevents you from earning a paycheck.

That’s why it’s important to have disability insurance that can help protect against the risk of losing your income.
