CTA October Newsletter

Time is Running Out On This Special Enrollment Opportunity 
  
If you're a newly hired CTA member this year, you may be eligible for a special, limited-time opportunity to apply for CTA-endorsed Disability and Life Insurance from Standard Insurance Company (The Standard). 
  
If you apply within your first 180 days of starting your new job, eligible CTA members can get up to$200,000 of Life Insurance coverage without answering any health questions. 
  
You can also apply for Disability Insurance, which can help with the everyday bills like your mortgage and utilities, that continue even when you can't work -- expenses that health insurance won't cover. The CTA-endorsed Disability Insurance plan was specially designed to address the gaps in coverage that many California educators face. 
  
Remember, you only have 180 days to apply for this unique opportunity. Don't miss out. 
  
For costs and further details of the coverage and this enrollment opportunity, including exclusions, benefit waiting periods, any reductions or limitations and the terms under which the policy may be continued in force, call The Standard's CTA Customer Service Department at 800.522.0406, or visitwww.standard.com/cta/newhire to apply online.  MORE
