COLUMBUS, Ga., June 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance at the worksite in the United States, today announced enhancements to its Short-Term Disability policy. Designed especially for small-business owners and their employees, Aflac Short-Term Disability offers new features that improve customer experience and reward customer loyalty.
"Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses may result in unpaid time off of work. For so many Americans, this can mean the loss of a paycheck and unplanned out-of-pocket expenses that can have an enormous impact on employees' financial stability and lifestyle," said Keith Pellerin, vice president of Product Management and Innovation at Aflac. "With Aflac Short-Term Disability insurance, if a policyholder is unable to work, they'll have the cash needed to pay living expenses, giving them the ability to focus on recovery and not financial worry."
The Social Security Administration estimates that 1 in 4 20-year-olds in the workforce today will suffer a disability before they retire, and a LIMRA study found that 6 in 10 Generation X and Y employees said an income loss due to illness or injury would have a significant financial impact on their households.1 Understanding that the loss of even one paycheck can be financially troubling for many Americans, Aflac developed two new features for its Short-Term Disability policies – guaranteed-issue conversion and the Aflac Value Rider.
