Group Disability Insurance and Absence Management
Financial protection for the unexpected.
Our flexible policy designs and consultative approach help ensure your groups get the coverage they need at a price that fits their budget.
When a disability or leave of absence occurs, a dedicated Symetra Case Manager is assigned for the life of the case, providing clear communication on the claims process while fostering a trusting relationship with the employer, claimant and treating physician.

Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) Services
Symetra's ADAAA Services can easily be added to a Symetra absence management program. Services include:
- Workplace accomodation: Helps determine whether an ADAAA accomodation is required and assists with implementing approved requests.
- Return to work: Assists employees currently on leave—including FMLA-related leave—with their return to work. ADAAA leave specialists will proactively facilitate this process utilizing existing claim information.
- Time away: When employees have exhausted their job-protected leave but still need additional leave time, ADAAA leave specialists will proactively reach out to the ADAAA contact to advise them that there are employees who are approaching their maximum leave allotment and will provide guidance, as needed.
