Critical Illness
Elmet Technologies offers a voluntary critical illness benefit through Voya 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.)
Benefit amounts for employees, spouses, and children are as follows:
Employee: $5,000 to $ 30,000
Spouse: 50% of the employee amount elected
Child(ren) to age 26: 50% of the employee covered amount
Employees may elect up to the maximum amount of coverage with no health questions.
