Why switch to CTA-endorsed Disability and Life Insurance?

CTA members have unique insurance needs. That's why CTA makes Voluntary Disability and Life Insurance plans available to CTA members through Standard Insurance Company (The Standard). The plans have unique features specifically designed for education professionals, including:

• Provisions to allow for continuation of coverage during temporary layoffs and labor disputes.
• Access to the CTA Advisory Panel on Endorsed Services.
• Coverage for extra-duty pay such as coaching and tutoring.
• Coverage for disabilities occurring both on and off the job.

The need for disability and life insurance is very real. Each year, almost 5,000* of your peers receive much-needed help from the CTA-endorsed plans.

From April 1 through May 31, 2014, members who have disability and/or life insurance coverage through another provider have a special opportunity to make the switch to the only CTA-endorsed Disability and Life Insurance plans.
