Workplace benefit products

Voluntary and supplemental benefits for employees.

Cory District helps employers and brokers compare dental, vision, disability, accident, hospital, critical illness, cancer, and life insurance choices for workplace enrollment. Build a benefit package around the workforce, not a generic menu.

Funding and tax treatment

More than one way to structure the package.

Voluntary lines are employee-paid through payroll deduction. Employer-paid and Section 125 pre-tax options are also available. The right design depends on the employer's objectives, employee population, and the applicable plan provisions.

Dental insurance

Coverage designed to help employees manage routine dental care and more involved treatment.

Dental insurance can help employees plan for preventive and diagnostic care and, depending on plan provisions, basic or major treatment. It can be considered alongside medical coverage when employees are comparing household health expenses. Covered services, benefit limits, network and plan administration details vary by plan and state, so the conversation starts with the group and the available provisions.

Vision insurance

Coverage options for routine eye care, lenses, frames, and contacts.

Vision insurance can support routine eye exams and eligible materials such as lenses, frames, and contacts. It gives employees another way to consider expected eye-care expenses during workplace enrollment. Exam and material allowances, network access, frequency limits, eligibility, and other plan provisions vary, so the right option depends on the group and the benefits being offered.

Disability insurance

Short-term, long-term, and state-replacement disability options that can help protect income when an employee cannot work.

Short-term and long-term disability insurance can help replace part of an employee's income after an eligible illness or injury prevents work. State-replacement designs can address state-mandated programs where available. Benefit duration, waiting periods, funding approach, eligibility, and plan provisions all matter, so employers and brokers should review the available options before enrollment.

Accident insurance

Cash benefits that can help with eligible costs after a covered accident.

Accident insurance can pay cash benefits for eligible covered injuries. Employees may use a benefit according to their own household priorities, while employers can consider how the coverage fits alongside medical and other workplace benefits. Benefit schedules, covered injuries and services, exclusions, and the way coverage coordinates with other insurance depend on the available plan provisions.

Hospital insurance

Cash benefits that can help after a covered hospital admission or stay.

Hospital insurance can provide cash benefits for eligible admissions and stays, helping employees consider costs that medical insurance may not fully address. It is often reviewed as part of a broader voluntary benefits package. Admission and confinement benefits, eligible hospital services, exclusions, and coordination with other coverage vary by plan and state.

Critical illness insurance

Lump-sum benefits for eligible serious diagnoses, paid directly to the insured unless assigned.

Critical illness insurance can provide a lump-sum benefit after an eligible diagnosis. The benefit is paid directly to the insured unless assigned. When evaluating options, employees and employers should review covered conditions, benefit amounts, recurrence provisions, exclusions, and any health screening benefit that may be available under the plan.

Cancer insurance

Focused benefits that can help with eligible treatment and recovery costs.

Cancer insurance can provide benefits tied to eligible screening, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery events. It can be part of a voluntary benefits conversation for employees who want to understand the options available through work. Screening and diagnostic benefits, treatment-related schedules, exclusions, and state availability depend on the applicable plan provisions.

Life insurance

Worksite life insurance options that help employees plan for the people who depend on them.

Worksite life insurance can help employees plan for the people who depend on them. During enrollment, employees can review available coverage amounts and whether employee or dependent options are included. Eligibility, portability provisions, benefit amounts, and the terms of coverage vary by plan and state, so those details should be reviewed before an election is made.

Enrollment support

Products are easier to understand in a real conversation.

Licensed benefits counselors help employees understand the options available to them by phone and screen-share. The enrollment plan can be coordinated in an employer's existing benefits platform when access and scope allow, or in Employee Navigator when the group needs an enrollment environment.

Some groups choose to explore accident, hospital, and critical illness together. The right mix depends on the workforce, funding approach, plan provisions, and state availability.

Questions, answered

Workplace benefit questions, answered clearly.

Every group is different. Start here, then talk with our team about the details that apply to your case.

What is the difference between voluntary and employer-paid benefits?

Voluntary benefit elections are generally employee-paid through payroll deduction, and employees choose whether to enroll. An employer may also choose to fund eligible benefits as part of its overall benefit strategy. The available arrangement depends on the product, group, state, and plan provisions.

Can benefits be offered through a Section 125 arrangement?

Eligible pre-tax arrangements may be available depending on the plan structure and applicable requirements. The Cory District team can review the product, state, and arrangement with the employer before a decision is made.

Can employees enroll dependents?

Dependent options can vary by product, state, and plan provisions. The available choices, eligibility, and any required information are reviewed during benefit planning and enrollment.

Can coverage continue if an employee leaves the employer?

Some products may include portability provisions, but availability, eligibility, deadlines, and terms vary by product, state, and plan. Employees should review the applicable plan materials before relying on continued coverage.

Can Cory District support enrollment in our existing platform?

Yes. When access and scope allow, Cory District can coordinate enrollment in an employer's existing benefits platform. When a group needs an enrollment environment, Cory District can provide Employee Navigator.

Is there a minimum participation requirement?

Group requirements vary by product, state, and arrangement. Share the group details with our team so the appropriate path can be confirmed.
