Long Term Disability Insurance Plan Comparison

 

Dear AOCDS Member:

            The AOCDS has attempted to explore the California Law Enforcement Association (CLEA) Long Term Disability Insurance Plan.  On August 9, 2007, a list of 34 questions regarding the details of the plan was sent to David Boffi, president of CLEA.   Included were questions about the size and financial viability of the plan, claims history, specific benefit questions, premium history, and the entity itself and its responsibility to various government agencies.       

            On September 24, 2007, Mr. Boffi responded in writing, “In response to your request for CLEA documentation (question 1-34) in your letter dated August 9, 2007, please be informed that we have decided not to provide the AOCDS with any additional information at this time.”  

As a result of CLEA refusing to provide the AOCDS with important answers to the questions we have submitted in writing, your Board of Directors is not able to provide you with an AOCDS position regarding the CLEA Long Term Disability Plan.  We strongly encourage you to thoroughly research any Long Term Disability product that you may be considering for purchase.  Long Term Disability coverage is very difficult for California peace officers to obtain so please be careful before making any decision that may put your or your family at financial risk. 

                                                                      

With Respect,

                                                                        Wayne Quint
