Newly hired educators and education support professionals have a limited-time special opportunity to apply for CTA-endorsed Disability insurance and up to $400,000 in Life insurance* from Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) without having to answer any health questions. The Standard is the only CTA-endorsed provider for Disability and Life insurance and has been since 2007.

• Disability insurance can help protect CTA members’ paychecks if they’re unable to work due to an injury, illness (including mental health conditions), pregnancy or childbirth. They’ll receive funds paid directly to them to use for things health insurance doesn’t cover. Benefits can be used for rent, mortgage, groceries, student loans and more.  Where health insurance pays your doctor, Disability insurance pays you.
• Life insurance helps protect CTA members’ loved ones in the event of their passing. They’ll also get access to additional features they can use now.

Apply for coverage within 270 days of starting your job. Learn more or apply at standard.com/cta/newhire.

Transferred Districts this year? CTA members who previously had coverage with The Standard must re-apply within 270 days of starting their new job to continue coverage at their new district as coverage doesn't automatically transfer. Apply at standard.com/cta/transfer.

*Coverage reduces to 65% of the amount in force at age 70, 45% of the amount in force at age 75 and 30% of the amount in force at age 80. Offer not available to retirees.
