Download Brochure

We have been designing and enrolling voluntary benefit programs since 1987. As a leader in payroll deduction, EBS provides the superior customer service, expertise, quality products, enrollment and invoice reconciliation services to make the addition of voluntary benefits a winning solution for employers, particularly with groups greater than 50. Many employers are concerned about creating additional workload with adding Voluntary benefits.

Benefits of EBS’ Voluntary Insurance plans
 - Enrollment services provided through the use of salaried enrollment counselors (bilingual available)
- Providing open enrollment of voluntary benefits as well as on-going enrollments of new hires throughout the year
- High level of benefit enrollment satisfaction and enrolled benefit retention
- EBS collects all enrollment information and works with payroll prior to the enrollment to ensure proper payroll
  processing of the deductions
- Collection of payroll deductions and remittance of premiums to the carriers including reconciliation

Advantages of voluntary plans
- Allows employers to enhance their benefit portfolio without having to fund the benefit program.
- Employees may choose from a menu of benefits at group rates that will meet their individual goals to protect their
  income and their families.
- Underwriting qualifications in a group setting are less restrictive. Qualified issue and guaranteed issue products are available.
- Employees can enjoy both pre-tax and post-tax payroll deduction, depending on allowances of various benefits by the IRS.
- Employer sponsored voluntary benefits have the added advantage of group rates and relaxed underwriting not available
  on an individual basis.
- Payroll deduction allows for a higher level of participation from the group and greater satisfaction on an individual level.
- Many voluntary benefits can be continued after separation from the company on an individual basis without
  negative consequences.
- EBS handles all enrollment data transfer to payroll and carriers, pays invoices and provides participant and client support,
  virtually eliminating any additional work on the part of the employer.
