Introducing Wise Benefits®

Wise Benefits is the brand you’ll be seeing more of to get best in class benefits at special rates. You already know the underlying companies powering the brand, and you’ll continue to get the same exceptional products and services.

National Teachers Associates Life Insurance Company (NTA Life) and Madison National Life Insurance Company, Inc (MNL) are part of the Horace Mann family of companies. They’re the companies responsible for underwriting the insurance policies and paying claims. Since their inception, they’ve shared the same goals of helping provide financial security for first responders and others who serve the community.

By combining their nearly 200 years of expertise, they recently launched the Wise Benefits brand. The Wise brand represents the next evolution of supplemental insurance products and services for employers, employees, and their families. For added simplicity and consistency, they chose to streamline branding under the Wise Benefits umbrella.

As you may be aware, NTA Life has been working with first responders for over 15 years. In 2021, they chose to further expand their commitment to firefighters and paramedics/EMS by partnering with the International Association of Fire Fighters – Financial Corporation to provide IAFF members with cost-competitive supplemental insurance products and solutions. The number of IAFF members they serve continues to rapidly expand because of their in-depth understanding of public safety needs and high standards when it comes to customer and claims service. Over the years, they’ve written over 50,000 policies for firefighters and their families across the country.

Supplemental insurance product offerings under the Wise brand include, but are not limited to: Cancer, Heart, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity, Accident, and Disability. They address members’ needs through both voluntary individual policies and employer-sponsored or union-paid group plans. The goal is to ease the financial burden when an unexpected injury or illness occurs while also encouraging wellness through education and annual wellness incentives.

Some key features of Wise Benefits products:

  • Replaces a portion of income if unable to work due to an unexpected injury or illness
  • Helps protect financial wellbeing from costs that medical insurance may not cover
  • Helps protect families with supplemental coverage or simple legacy benefits
  • Offers product portability if an employee retires or leaves the employer
  • Offers a return of premium (ROP) option if certain conditions are met

Look for their team of professionals at upcoming IAFF conferences and events, and even at your local fire stations. They are a trusted partner focused on providing first responders with a comprehensive suite of protection products along with education, support, and other resources.
