Salad Collective offers a critical illness benefit through UNUM that provides a monetary benefit to help with the out-of-pocket medical and non-medical expenses upon diagnosis of a covered illness. Critical illness insurance helps you and your family maintain financial security during the recovery period of a serious medical event, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. This plan pays a benefit if the initial diagnosis for a covered illness is while the certificate is in force. (See certificate for complete details.)
Coverage amount for employees and spouses are available in $10,000 increments, as follows:
Employee: $10,000 to $ 30,000
Spouse and child(ren): 50% of the employee coverage amount
The employee must be enrolled in coverage to have spouse or child coverage, and there are no health questions when enrolling in this benefit.
Benefits are paid in addition to any other insurance that you may have, and benefits are paid directly to you
