Why USA Supplemental Benefits are Important?

Your most valuable asset may not be your home, car, or family heirlooms- for most of us it's our ability to earn and provide for ourselves and our family.


Every employed person needs paycheck / income replacement protection, just as every employed person needs medical insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, and air to breathe. Figuring out if you need disability insurance is pretty easy. If you have a job, you need it.

Income is critical to most employees' financial security, yet, employees rarely think about how an illness or accident puts their income at risk.


What are the odds of experiencing an income-interrupting event in life? Almost everyone knows someone who, even with good medical insurance, has struggled to make ends meet after being injured or having a heart attack, or while fighting cancer.


Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disabilities.


Women experience bundled risks. Women comprised more than half of new long-term disability claims in 2013. Pregnancy-related claims were the biggest contributor to the spar-rowth in women's claims.

  • • More than 25% of today's 20 year-olds will become disabled before they retire.


  • • You have a 3:10 chance of suffering a disabling illness or injury during your career that would keep you out of work for three months or more.


  • • According to the American Cancer Society, the lifetime risk of developing cancer is:

No time to waste. Workers' livelihoods could

change in an instant-and frequently do.

disabling injury or illness that will last for at least one a month."--

Here is why group voluntary benefits are important: every Employed Person (Teachers) needs Pay-Check Protection/Supplemental Insurance just as every Employed person needs medical insurance, Life insurance, auto insurance and air to breathe. But many Consumers/Teachers are not aware of the dire need for Pay-Check Protection/ Supplemental Insurance. Most Americans own health insurance, acknowledging that over their lifetime, during their Career, they may become sick or injured and be required to pay for medical services and potentially experience loss of income. But most of those same Americans don’t take the measures necessary in protecting their income (paycheck) during those periods of sickness or injury. This is a complete conundrum that must be solved. There is a definite disconnect between consumers and their pay-check protection needs. The average Teacher is provided with 10-15 sick and personal days per year.

What happens when a sickness or injury exceeds their available leave days? Or a love one, such as a child develops a critical illness? This is where USA through its consultative selling approach educates clients about the importance of pay-check Protection /supplemental insurance programs.
