ACDS Association Employee Benefits Program

The ACDS employee group benefit program offers participating ACDS member organizations a strong program with competitive rates. With the ACDS program, you can tailor the plan to meet your employees' needs and/or introduce cost containment measures. There are flexible plan design choices to enable you to select group insurance benefits that reflect your own organization's priorities, philosophy and values.

Some of the benefits that can be added to your program include:

• Life Insurance
• Short-Term Disability
• Long Term Disability
• Health Care (drugs, massage, ambulance, etc.)
• Dental Care
• Vision Care (including eye surgery)
• Critical Illness Insurance (lump-sum payout in case of heart attack, cancer, etc.)
• Group RRSP

Today, insurance carriers are more cautious in underwriting and can even restrict disability benefits for smaller organizations in the non-profit/social services sector. The ACDS umbrella plan provides greater options for all member organizations.

ACDS has had a long and successful partnership with Ross & Associates Consulting Ltd. Ross & Associates has handled the ACDS employee benefit plan for close to 15 years, and they understand the unique needs of member organizations. Competitive rates are made possible as a result of volume discounts and spreading the risks over a large established pool. Ross & Associates' new, state-of-the-art EAS online admin system makes the administration of your benefit plan a breeze - try it for yourself!

The friendly staff at Ross & Associates is always ready to provide immediate responses to claims issues and a broad range of benefit inquiries.
