Solutions for Education Professionals
We have designed benefits specifically for education professionals and have embedded them into our standard insurance products at no additional cost.
Campus Violence Benefit (K-12 & Higher Ed)
Due to the ongoing concern of school violence, we offer a campus violence benefit as part of our accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) coverage. It can help offset some of the financial strain an employee and their family might face if the employee experiences an injury or passes away because of a violent campus event.
How it works:
- The campus violence benefit is included as part of our AD&D coverage.
- If a covered employee passes away because of a violent event on campus, their beneficiary(ies) are eligible to receive an additional 25% of the principal sum of their AD&D coverage to a maximum of $50,000.
- If a covered employee experiences an injury because of a violent event on campus that results in hospitalization, they are eligible to receive 10% of the principal sum of their AD&D coverage to a maximum of $25,000.

Disability Coverage During School Breaks (K-12 & Higher Ed)
