WORKSITE BENEFITS
Our benefits help support employees by protecting them when they need it most. Benefits can be used to pay for whatever employees need and can be structured to provide critical support, legacy protection, or disability income replacement. In addition, our retirement products can help employees plan for a successful future.

• Build employee engagement prior to enrollment.
• Maximize enrollment participation to meet your goals.
• Provide ongoing education about coverage and benefits.

SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYEES' FINANCIAL WELLNESS
You’re driven to serve our communities. We’re driven to help you achieve a lifetime of financial success.
We can provide assistance and education specifically created to address the unique needs of public service employees, including:
Student Loan Solutions
Help manage student loan debt
The U.S. Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program was designed to encourage careers in public service by allowing federal loans of public service workers to be forgiven after 10 years of qualifying payments. However, navigating the process can be confusing.
Our Student Loan Solutions program offers resources, tools, and loan coaching to help borrowers determine their eligibility for student loan forgiveness and choose a repayment plan that works well for them.
Financial Literacy
Support for employees' financial wellness
We provide complimentary financial wellness workshops including financial literacy, retirement readiness and achieving financial success.
We pride ourselves on serving educators and state employees. Each state has a different retirement system, and some have more than one. We can speak to the requirements, benefits and idiosyncrasies of the respective systems and help you understand their potential retirement income.*

DonorsChoose
As a national sponsor of the DonorsChoose program, we connect educators in need of classroom materials and experiences with individual donors who want to help.
Teachers regularly spend hundreds of dollars of their own money to buy classroom supplies for their students. As a national sponsor of the classroom crowdfunding platform DonorsChoose, Horace Mann provides funding for projects teachers have identified as critical to helping their students learn — and helps them keep more of their own money. Since 2011, Horace Mann and its representatives have donated more than $5.6 million to DonorsChoose projects — funding more than 51,000 projects that have helped more than 2.1 million students.
