Group Disability Income Insurance and Absence Management

Financial protection for the unexpected.

Our flexible policy designs and consultative approach help ensure your employees get the coverage they need at a price that fits your budget.

The First Symetra claims team will assign a dedicated case manager for the life of the case when a disability or leave of absence occurs, providing clear communication on the claims process while fostering a trusting relationship with you, the claimant and treating physician.
