Voluntary Critical Illness Insurance
Voluntary Critical Illness Insurance
Plan Information
Critical Illness Insurance, administered by Reliance Matrix, provides financial assistance if you are diagnosed with a covered disease. You’ll receive a lump-sum payment that can be used for anything you need; even if it’s not related to your illness.
If you are newly eligible to enroll in benefits, you can elect Critical Illness Insurance coverage up to the Guarantee Issue without answering any health questions. Otherwise, you will be required to provide Evidence of Insurability (EOI) and be approved by Reliance Standard before coverage begins.

Benefits (or increased benefits) will not be paid for a pre-existing condition unless the critical illness is diagnosed after 12 months of coverage (or effective date of an increase).
