Protect yourself and your family today Disability Insurance is protection against the unexpected For more than 70 years, CSEA’s special group insurance programs, offered through Pearl Carroll, have provided CSEA members with peace of mind for meeting life’s challenges. Disability Insurance is just one example. If you get sick or injured, Disability Insurance helps pay for the costs of daily living – your housing, car payments, groceries or anything else that you need. All active CSEA members under age 65 are eligible to apply. Don’t delay. You must have the Disability Insurance in place before you get hurt or sick if you want to receive any benefit. “While on disability, my Pearl Carroll insurance was a life saver. Their phone agents were helpful and informative, always pleasant and eager to help. My payments were timely and a great supplement that was definitely needed.” — Kelly Brigman, Onondaga County 911 dispatcher, CSEA Onondaga County Local “I lost some of my income when I was out for surgery. CSEA’s program through Pearl Carroll made that up with my benefit from my policy. I never fell behind on my bills. You never know what’s in your future and insurance can certainly give you a confident feeling. The premium comes out of my check so I never have another bill to pay!” — Linda Helmbrecht, school bus driver, Erie County Educational Learn more by contacting Pearl Carroll & Associates at 1-877-847-2732 or visit the website at www.pearlcarroll.com/csea.
