Voluntary Benefits: Critical Illness Plan and the Accident Insurance Plans

Over the past several years, UC faculty and staff have been able to enroll in Unum’s voluntary benefit plans – Unum’s Critical Illness and Accident insurances.   These plans are offered being offered again during this year’s annual enrollment period to benefit-eligible employees.

Critical Illness Insurance can help fill a financial gap if you or a covered family member experiences a severe, life-threatening illness. This benefit goes above and beyond the coverage provided under UC's medical plans.

Accident Insurance is designed to protect your finances by helping you pay for the unexpected costs associated with an accidental injury. Accident insurance includes benefits for a wide range of common injuries and covered accidents.

Both the Critical Illness Plan and the Accident Insurance Plans include a $50 Wellness benefit. 

For more information about the plans, visit the 2018 Annual Enrollment page.
