SELF, in response to its member's requests, is offering group-term life insurance, short and long-term disability insurance and medical stop-loss insurance (for those who self-insure health care benefits) through sponsored insurance carriers.

This arrangement provides SELF's members an economy of group purchasing. Schools that purchased SELF's sponsored life insurance save an average of 18% of their prior costs. Those who received quotes currently save over $2,000,000 annually.

SELF Life policies are customized for each member so that benefits match specifications agreed to with your employees. Rates have been extremely competitive and are established based on your census, benefit levels, and for large groups, your loss experience.

To obtain additional information please contact, or ask your insurance broker/consultant to contact, SELF's project consultant, Ron Shepherd or one of his colleagues at Shepherd & Associates toll free at (877) 329-8111 or email oldshep@pacbell.net.
