Vendor outlines voluntary Colonial Life benefit options for district staff
Summary
A Colonial Life representative presented voluntary accident, dental, critical-illness and medical-bridge insurance options, emphasizing payouts that go directly to employees and offering an AFLAC comparison on request.
A representative from Colonial Life presented voluntary insurance options to the Solon Springs School District committee on June 2, including group accident coverage, dental plans, critical-illness (cancer/heart) policies and a medical-bridge product intended to cover high deductibles.
The presenter emphasized that accident payouts are paid directly to employees and cover on- and off-the-job injuries, providing examples of how those payouts can offset costs after deductibles are met. The dental plan described a $3,000-per-person annual maximum, 100% coverage for routine preventative care (two cleanings per year), and reduced coverage tiers for basic and major services.
The vendor said the voluntary products are typically employee-paid and would not impose direct costs on the district unless the board chose otherwise. The presenter offered to supply a side-by-side comparison with AFLAC and to provide quote details for the district to share with employees. Board members asked for those comparisons and additional written materials to distribute to staff.
No procurement, contract, or funding decision was made at the meeting; the presentation was for information and follow-up.
