Professional Associations
A member benefit for uncertain times
Your members worked hard for their careers. Cushion gives employed members a way to protect their income if a layoff hits, offered as a benefit alongside the programs they already use.
Cushion covers W-2 employees. Self-employed members aren't eligible for this coverage. Cushion coverage is currently available to W-2 employees in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Virginia, with more states to follow. Coverage options, limits, waiting periods and policy availability vary by jurisdiction and are subject to underwriting approval and individual policy declarations. Partner compensation is structured to comply with state insurance laws; only appropriately licensed partners may receive commissions on policies sold.
