Great news! ILA Local 1291 is expanding the choices in your benefits package with supplemental coverage from Combined Insurance, a Chubb Benefits company. Supplemental insurance works alongside your regular health insurance by providing cash benefits for covered accidents, illnesses, hospital stays, and other qualifying events. These benefits can help with expenses that may not be fully covered by your medical plan, such as deductibles, copays, household bills, transportation, and other everyday costs while you recover.
Even better, our policies are guaranteed issue — giving eligible members a simple way to enroll and add valuable protection without medical underwriting.
Come visit us at the Union Hiring Center to ask questions, assess your needs, and discuss the valuable options available to you and your family. Just by stopping by, everyone will receive free raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes like TVs, Bose speakers, gift cards, and more!
