SERVICES FOR DEALERS

Vision Plans –This is a relatively inexpensive benefit but an important one. Studies have shown that most workplace errors are made by employees who should be wearing glasses but don’t, since they are not covered by a vision plan. Life Insurance –Most group life insurance plans will offer a guaranteed issue amount, even if an employee has an existing medical condition. It is one of the best ways to obtain Life Insurance at a cost that is less expensive than an individual policy. Members can choose from Term, Universal, or Whole Life Products. DBL – The Brokerage offers an enhanced DBL program through ARCH Insurance. With this program, dealers can offer employees’the benefit of either 50% of average weekly wages for 26 weeks or 60% for 52 weeks. Employees have a choice of maximum weekly benefits ranging from $170 to $850 per week. Voluntary Benefits – These plans are individual but are offered through a group plan. They are normally paid 100% by the employee. Most can be on a pretax basis. They are: • Specific Disease – This coverage— for cancer, for example—helps pay for both medical and non-medical expenses. • Short-Term Disability – Pays for expenses while the employee is unable to work. • Accident – Benefits depend on the type of accident. • Hospital Confinement – This protects against out of pocket expenses, such as, deductibles and copays, which are associated with a hospital stay. • Life Insurance – Term or Universal. Term is the least expensive type of Life Insurance while Universal is more costly but builds up cash value. You decide which one meets your needs. Long-Term Care – Provides assistance when an individual can no longer perform the activities of daily living. Benefits can be received as an inpatient or at home. Pet Insurance – As a member of GNYADA, you are entitled to a group discount of 10% and receive an additional 10% if you need to cover multiple pets. Flexible Spending Accounts – Allows employees to set aside a percentage of their pay on a pretax basis for eligible medical expenses ($2,550/yr.), dependent care ($5,000/yr.), parking ($250/mo.), and transit ($130/mo.). Senior Services –We can address the health insurance needs of your senior employees before and after they turn 65. There are benefits to both employees and employers.

Cobra –We administer this benefit for medical, dental, and vision plans.
