The Teamsters Voluntary Income Protection Plus (VIP+) Plan is comprised of three separate insurance benefits designed to provide you and your families with crucial financial security if you cannot work due to injury, illness, scheduled surgery, or death. Benefit options include Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance with AD&D (Includes Spouse and Children coverage options). All benefit options are voluntary, meaning if you want to be covered you must act by enrolling in the benefit options you desire.
Enrolling in these important benefits only takes a few minutes. Visit https://teamstersvip.com/ to find more information or sign up. All coverages are guaranteed approved. That means no medical tests or questionnaires to enroll, and you cannot be denied coverage.
The timing of your enrollment directly affects when your coverage begins. So, the sooner you enroll, the sooner you and your family will be protected. To secure coverage for an effective date of April 1, 2024, make sure to enroll by March 25th.
