The Federal Benefits Open Season ended just over two months ago, and you may think that means not having to contemplate benefits again until next November. But the NCBC offers a wide range of benefits that are available to members for enrollment year round, including some new benefits for 2018. We recently updated the Benefits page on the NCBC website to list these new offerings and to highlight some existing ones. Let’s take a look at some of those changes.
What’s New?
We are pleased to announce two new insurance plans for 2018 that are available through our partnership with FedAdvantage:
· Accident Insurance – Accident insurance provides benefits for covered accidental injuries, related services, and treatments. Some examples include ambulance transportation, emergency room visits, and physical therapy.
· Critical Illness Insurance – Critical Illness insurance provides a choice of a $10,000, $20,000, or $30,000 lump-sum payment for a covered illness such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. The cash benefits are independent from any claims or coverage provided by your medical insurance. The cash can help with bills or added expenses that medical insurance may not cover like co-pays, deductibles, or day-to-day living expenses.
Oldies but Goodies
The Federal Benefits Analysis is not a new benefit, but it’s important enough that we felt it deserved its own spot on the website. And not just any spot – at the top of the list. The Federal Benefits Analysis is a free service that can help simplify your retirement planning. This tool can assist you with tracking your benefits (including the TSP) and expenses starting today and continuing through your entire retirement. If you have never taken advantage of the Federal Benefits Analysis, or if it has been a while since you last used this benefit calculator, be sure to check out this valuable service.
So head on over to the Benefits Page on the NCBC website (www.ncbcweb.com/benefits) and take a look at everything we have to offer. Why not make it one of your New Year’s resolutions to ensure that you have all the coverage you need?
