Assurant Employee Benefits can now quote all group voluntary coverages without census information
With recent enhancements, Assurant Employee Benefits’ Voluntary Short-Term Disability product now has a simplified process for quoting. As a result, less information is now required to provide proposals for Assurant Employee Benefits’ entire suite of group voluntary coverages, which also includes Voluntary Life, Dental and Long-Term Disability products.
Without the need for detailed demographic information, producers are able to receive quotes on coverage more quickly and easily. The change also enables producers to provide quotes to their prospective clients on a more timely basis.
These changes are another example of Assurant Employee Benefits’ ongoing commitment to strengthening its position as a leader in employee-paid employee benefits. The company is focused on tools, services and products that will provide customers a simple, accurate and convenient employee-paid benefits experience.
