Voluntary Benefits
What are “Voluntary Benefits”? Voluntary benefits are a variety of insurance programs we offer to our employees that cover a large range of needs beyond our core set of benefit plans with the ease of direct after tax payroll deductions. Voluntary benefits are also fully portable meaning if you leave the company these programs stay with you as individual policies.
Our Voluntary Benefits include:
These programs can be enrolled into any time during the calendar year:
• Group Auto & Home
• Pet Insurance
• Identity Theft – through LifeLock
These programs are available during annual enrollment or if you have a qualifying life event:
• Group Legal
• Critical Illness
• Group Accident
• Hospital Indemnity
You should know that this insurance is not covered by the federal law known as ERISA. Although the News Corp Companies allow you to pay for this insurance through convenient payroll deductions, we do not endorse or administer it. To learn more about the insurance, contact a MetLife Customer Service Representative at 1 800- GET-MET8 (1-800-438-6388).
To enroll in these programs simply call 1-800-220-1716 and enroll. Many of these programs are not beholden to an annual enrollment period and can be subscribed to at any time.For more information on the voluntary benefits program – see the Voluntary Benefits Microsite here.
