Voluntary Benefits

Delivered by Workplace Benefits Plus

Offering employees the freedom of choice

Workplace Benefits Plus administers and manages the Allstate Benefits voluntary benefits program for the public workforce of South Carolina, which includes agencies, schools, counties, and cities. By becoming a participating employer, you can empower your employees with the freedom to choose the benefits that best suit their needs.

Why Choose Voluntary Benefits?

Voluntary Benefits, sometimes called supplemental coverage, are offered in addition to the State of SC PEBA insurance benefits and are tailored to the unique needs of public sector employees. They are employee-paid but with great group rates and convenient payroll deductions. Employees choose the benefits that best fit their individual needs, leading to a more personalized experience.

  • When it comes to life insurance, there are two main types of policies: permanent life insurance and term life insurance. Whole life insurance is considered permanent, which means the insured person is covered for the duration of their life, when premiums are paid on time. It also offers a savings component called “cash value,” much like other permanent life insurance policies.

    Whole life insurance is the most common type of permanent life insurance, according to the Insurance Information Institute. This is likely due to the benefits of this policy, which make it an appealing choice for many families.

    • Your premiums and death benefit are fixed and will not go up, regardless of market conditions.

    • Your death benefit is guaranteed if the required payments are made.

    • You may be able to withdraw funds or take out a loan, since this policy builds cash value.

    Life insurance can help your loved ones:

    • Cover the rising cost of funeral expenses

    • Replace lost wages or the value of your time (e.g., stay-at-home spouse)

    • Pay off debt

    • Provide for a college education

    • Leave an inheritance

    • Secure your business

    As low a $8 per month
