Attention – All Members:
It has come to the attention of the SMART Transportation Division that a group referring to themselves as “American Income Life” has been contacting SMART-TD members and insinuating an affiliation with SMART-TD in an attempt to sell insurance.
To be clear, the SMART-TD has in no way vetted or endorsed them, and most certainly disapproves of their deceptive attempts to solicit our members.
The SMART-TD has gone to great lengths and expense to make reasonably priced insurance products available to our members. While competing insurance plans might appear to provide a similar benefit at a competitive rate, they have not been designed with our members’ specific needs and requests in mind.
The following are proudly endorsed by the SMART-TD:
The UTUIA, our member-owned insurance association, offers a comprehensive assortment of products including accident and disability insurance, life insurance, and retirement investments. https://utuia.org/
The SMART Discipline Income Protection Program (DIPP) provides payment for a specific amount and period of time in certain instances to an employee suspended, dismissed, or removed from service by the carrier for alleged violation of rules or operating procedures. https://smart-union.org/
The Voluntary Short-Term Disability (VSTD) plan is designed to maintain income following accidents or illness. After a 30-day period, benefits are payable for up to 34 weeks. https://www.smart-vstd.com/
The Long-Term Voluntary Disability Plan (VDP) insurance is designed to work complementary to VSTD, extending the benefit period for up to 5 years. https://smart-vltd.com/
In addition, the premiums of products offered by the SMART-TD and UTUIA may be handled easily via payroll deduction.
More information can be found about these plans by logging into the member portal at https://smart-union.org/
