SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS








         You may purchase additional insurance from UNUM that will help to cover additional out-of-pocket expenses. These policies offer
         direct-to-the-policyholder cash payouts to help cover what other insurance doesn’t. The policies available include Accident,
         Critical Illness with Cancer, and Whole Life with Long Term Care insurance. Your premiums are paid through payroll deductions
         on an after-tax basis. These UNUM policies are portable, which means that you can keep them should you change jobs or retire,
         with no increase in premiums.
