About this file
This is an Accident Insurance informational flyer issued by the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County for its employees. The document outlines a limited benefits accident insurance policy underwritten by Unum Life Insurance Company of America that covers accidental injuries and their treatment for employees, spouses, and dependent children up to age 26. Coverage is available to actively employed individuals legally authorized to work in the United States, with all family members required to reside in the United States to maintain eligibility. The policy provides set benefit amounts based on injury type and treatment required, covering both on-the-job and off-the-job accidents. Benefits range from minor injuries such as lacerations ($25-$600) and concussions ($150) to catastrophic events including accidental death ($50,000 for employees), dismemberment ($7,500-$100,000 depending on severity and age), and permanent paralysis or sensory loss ($15,000-$100,000). Additional covered services include emergency room treatment, hospital confinement, ambulance services, surgery, therapy, and travel-related expenses for treatment.
Monthly premiums are tiered based on coverage level, ranging from $13.03 for employee-only coverage to $32.37 for employee, spouse, and children coverage. The policy includes significant exclusions including war, terrorism, high-risk activities (professional athletics, aircraft operation, extreme sports), illegal activities, and intentional self-harm. Coverage also excludes treatment for sickness, mental health conditions, elective cosmetic procedures, and substance abuse treatment unless the substance was physician-prescribed. The policy becomes effective on the first day of the month in which payroll deductions begin and terminates upon cancellation, job separation, death, or failure to maintain premium payments. This flyer supports the related RFP 26036 solicitation for voluntary disability, life, and family medical leave benefits to be effective January 1, 2027.

Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County
Accident Insurance can pay you money for covered accidental injuries and their treatment.
How does it work?
Accident Insurance can pay a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need. It covers accidents that occur on and off the job. And it includes a range of incidents, from common injuries to more serious events.
Who can get coverage?
Why is this coverage so valuable?
• It can help you with out-of-pocket costs that your medical plan doesn’t cover, like co-pays and deductibles.
• You’re guaranteed base coverage, without answering health questions.
• The cost is conveniently deducted from your paycheck.
• You can keep your coverage if you change jobs or retire. You’ll be billed directly.
You If you’re actively at work*
Your spouse Ages 17 and up
Your children Dependent children from birth until their 26th birthday, regardless of marital or student status.
*Employees must be legally authorized to work in the United States and actively working at a U.S. location to receive coverage. Spouses and dependent children must reside in the United States to receive coverage.
What’s included?
Sickness Hospital Confinement Benefit This benefit pays a daily amount if you’re in the hospital for a covered illness. It’s available to each family member who has Accident coverage. You can receive $200 per day. Coverage for children is 75% of that amount.
How much does it cost?
Monthly Premium
You $13.03
You and your spouse $21.07
You and your child(ren) $24.33
