Guardian Rebrands Supplemental DI Effort

Berkshire Life Insurance Company of America will be selling supplemental disability income protection through a new DI@Work program.

The new program will sell supplemental disability insurance on an employer-paid, employee-paid or cost-sharing basis, and it can carve out separate plan designs for separate groups of company employees, such as executives, according to Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, New York, the parent of Berkshire.

Benefit options include an annual cost-of-living increase option, an unemployment premium-waiver option and retirement plan contribution protection.
