We are excited to share that we have two NEW vendors. • Medical o UnitedHealthcare Low & High PPO o UnitedHealthcare EPO (California only) o Kaiser HMO (Hawaii & California only) • Dental o Aetna- Freedom of Choice Plan • Vision o VSP Core & Premium plans Other Changes This Season • Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) We’ve added an EPO which is an Exclusive Provider Organization.

Guarantee issue without answering any health questions limits apply. Refer to page 14. 2013-2014 Plan Year 3 SMART SAVINGS Health care continues to be one of the major costs confronting families each year. By using the following simple strategies, you can significantly reduce your health care costs now and into the future . . . • Copayments for medical services can cost up to $25 per visit. Take advantage of $0 copayments for preventive and well-baby care under all medical plans. • Each visit to an emergency room can cost you up to a $100 copayment. By visiting an urgent care facility instead of an emergency room, your copayment can be significantly reduced. • Smoking is one of the leading causes of many costly health related problems. Take advantage of our smoking cessation programs and also encourage covered family members who smoke to enroll. (UnitedHealthcare and Kaiser Permanente members only.) Both carriers approve CHANTIX. Ask your doctor today for a prescription. • Not all conditions require a doctor’s visit. Call the 24/7 nurse line to talk to a qualified nurse anytime, day or night. o UnitedHealthcare members can call (800) 846-4678. o Kaiser members can call the Nurse Triage Center 24-hour Advice line at (888) 576-6225. • Prescription medication can be expensive and subject to high deductibles. You can save money on prescriptions by opting for the generic prescription. Ask your doctor to prescribe generic drugs when possible. You can save even more when you purchase your prescriptions through mail order. • Employees are required to pay a portion of their earnings for various taxes such as income and social security. Save valuable tax dollars by using a Flexible Savings Account (FSA) to set aside pre-tax earnings to pay for everyday eligible health care expenses for you and your eligible dependents. You may also set aside pre-tax earnings to pay for dependent care expenses. (See page 12 for more details.) FSA Reminder: You must re-enroll annually in your FSA plan in order to participate for the next calendar year. 4 be healthy • be happy ELIGIBILITY Employee Eligibility Dependent Eligibility • Are a full-time employee, and • Have met the required waiting period (30 days) • Your legal spouse • Your same-sex registered domestic partner (where mandated by law) • Your child(ren), or the child(ren) of your legal spouse or registered same-sex domestic partner, until age 26 You are eligible to participate in Forever 21’s Benefit Plans if you: Upon meeting the eligibility requirements, your benefits will become effective the first day of the following month (unless you are hired on the first of the month) Forever 21 provides valuable benefits for your dependents.

What’s the difference between an EPO and a PPO? EPO An Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) offers comprehensive health services as long as you choose doctors (including specialists), hospitals and pharmacies in the Choice network. If you receive care outside of the UnitedHealthcare network, the plan will not cover the cost. You may visit a specialist or other provider in the network without a referral. Terms to help you understand your coverage: • Annual Deductible: The amount you must pay each plan year before insurance pays any amount. • Copayment: A payment you must make, usually at the time of service, in addition to what insurance pays. • Coinsurance: The percentage that insurance pays after you have met your deductible. • Out-of-Pocket Maximum: The most you are required to pay in any plan year before insurance pays 100% of eligible expenses. KAISER Note that Kaiser Permanente is offered for California employees only. Kaiser operates as a health maintenance organization. You must choose a primary care physician who will manage your healthcare and refer you to specialists and testing as necessary. Most services are covered 100% by your insurance after your copayments. PPO In a preferred provider network, or PPO, you can choose to visit any physician of your choice, without a referral. You are responsible for all copays and any coinsurance after your annual deductible up to your annual out-of-pocket maximum. However, costs are higher for services received outside of the preferred network of doctors. Review the following chart for more EPO and PPO differences: PPO EPO Can I go to any doctor I want and receive plan benefits? Yes, but you pay lower costs if you use doctors and hospitals in the network No, you may only go to doctors within the UnitedHealthcare network. You may see a specialist without a referral. Is there a deductible? Will I need to choose a Primary Care Physician? Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Is preventative care (well-child care, check-ups, etc.) covered? Is there a limit to how much I may have to pay in one year? Are prescription drugs covered? Can I use mail order for maintenance drugs? Will I have to pay more if any doctor charges more than the “reasonable and customary” limit? Yes No No No No Yes, covered at 100% (In-Network ONLY) No Yes, covered at 100% (In-Network ONLY) Yes, refer to your PPO Plan out-of-pocket maximum Yes Yes, and you will pay less out of pocket Yes, refer to your EPO Plan out-of-pocket maximum Yes Yes, and you will pay less out of pocket Only when you use out-of-network providers No 2013-2014 Plan Year 7 MEDICAL COVERAGE Forever 21 employees have four different medical options to choose from, depending on where you live: • • • • UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus PPO Low UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus PPO High UnitedHealthcare Choice EPO (California only) Kaiser Permanente HMO (California only) EPO/HMO COMPARISON CHART (CALIFORNIA ONLY) UnitedHealthcare Choice EPO Plan Kaiser Permanente HMO Plan Employee Premium Contributions (Per Paycheck) Employee only Employee + spouse Employee + child(ren) Employee + family $41.27 $82.54 $74.25 $123.77 $40.64 $81.29 $73.13 $121.90 Annual Deductible None None Coinsurance 100% 100% Maximum Out-Of-Pocket $2,000 per member, $4,000 per family $1,500 per member, $3,000 per family Lifetime Benefit Maximum None None Primary Physician and Referred Specialist Office $25 co-payper visit Visit Outpatient Surgery $150 (ambulatory) $300 (hospital) Hospital Inpatient Services $500 co-payper admission $500 co-payper admission Emergency Room $100 co-payper visit $100 co-payper visit $25 co-payper visit $150 co-payper visit Generic Prescription Drugs $15 co-payup to 30 days $15 co-payup to 30 days Brand Name Prescription Drugs $30 co-payup to 30 days $150 annual brand deductible $30 co-payup to 30 days *Domestic Partner coverage is offered in only the following states: CA, MA, VT, CT, NJ, NH, WA, DC, HI, ME, MD, NY, OR, WI Stay Active to Stay Healthy Fitness is for everyone, and best of all, it includes every kind of exercise. As long as you do it regularly, any physical activity can help you look and feel your best. Whether you’re 5 or 65, it’s never too early—or too late—to get started. Just keep these tips in mind: • You don’t have to sweat it. Research shows that getting at least 2 hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity can make a significant difference in your health. You can get the same benefits by working a little harder for a shorter time. • Find the right fit. The key to getting regular exercise is to choose activities that you enjoy and feel comfortable doing, so that you’ll want to keep doing them. • Three’s company. Aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility are all key components of total fitness. • Mix it up. Are you already active and looking for a new routine? Or maybe you want to optimize your health and fitness level? Consider cross-training to help you reach your goal. 8 be healthy • be happy MEDICAL COVERAGE PPO COMPARISON CHART (ALL STATES) UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus PPO Low UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus PPO High Employee Premium Contributions (Per Paycheck) Employee only Employee + spouse Employee + child(ren) Employee + family $42.35 $84.50 $81.03 $125.40 In Network Out of Network $53.09 $106.01 $101.43 $157.20 In Network Out of Network Annual Deductible $1,000 per member, $2,000 for 2 individuals, $3,000 per family $500 per member, $1,000 for 2 individuals, $1,500 per family Coinsurance Maximum Out-Of-Pocket 80% $3,000 per member, $6,000 for 2 individuals, $9,000 per family 90% $2,000 per member, $4,000 for 2 individuals, $6,000 per family Maximum Lifetime Benefit Physician Office Visit Unlimited Unlimited $25 co-payper visit 50% Unlimited Unlimited $15 co-payper visit 70% Preventative and Routine Care $0 copay Not Covered $0 copay Not Covered Hospital 80% 50% 90% 70% Emergency Room Copay Generic Prescription Drugs $100 + 20% per visit $15 co-payup to $15 co-payup to 30 days 30 days 10% $10 co-payup to 30 days $10 co-payup to 30 days Prescription Drugs 50% $6,500 per member, $13,000 for 2 individuals, $19,500 per family 70% $5,000 per member, $10,000 for 2 individuals, $15,000 per family $30 co-payPreferred Brand up to 30 days $30 co-payPreferred Brand up to 30 days $45 Non-Preferred Brand $50 Non-Preferred Brand *Domestic Partner coverage is offered in only the following states: CA, MA, VT, CT, NJ, NH, WA, DC, HI, ME, MD, NY, OR, WI Required Grandfathered Plans Status Disclosure Forever 21, Inc. believes the medical plans are “grandfathered health plans” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your medical plan may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to the plan administrator at (213) 741-8897. You may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at (866) 444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa/ healthreform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans. Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 Annual Notice Did you know that in accordance with the “Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998”, all group health plans are required to notify each participant of the following benefits. Coverage available under the plan for participants receiving eligible services in connection with a mastectomy and who elect breast reconstruction in connection with such mastectomy will include: • Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce symmetrical appearance; • Prosthesis; and • Treatment of any physical complications, including treatment of lymph edema, the swelling sometimes caused by surgery. Services and supplies will be in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and patient. Such coverage may be subject to annual deductibles, coinsurance, and other plan provisions as may be deemed appropriate and as are consistent with those established for other benefits under the plan. Please refer to your medical carrier’s Summary Plan Description for a full description for coverage under the plan. 2013-2014 Plan Year 9 DENTAL COVERAGE AetnaDental® Freedom of Choice – More Savings, More Choices With Two Dental Networks You have the freedom to switch dental plans monthlyChoice #1: The Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO®) Plan Key Highlights • Lower out of pocket costs than the PPO • A Primary Care Dentist (PCD) coordinates your care • Get a referral to see a specialist, except for orthodontia • Typically, no cost for preventive care • No deductible or annual benefit maximum • Enhanced Orthodontia • Can switch to the PPO plan each month, if you prefer Choice #2: The Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan Key Highlights • Generally, higher out of pocket costs than the DMO • Visit any licensed dentist • Use network dentists for discounts to stretch your benefit • Can switch to the DMO plan each month, if you prefer • No referrals AetnaDental Freedom of Choice Choose between these two plan options monthly AetnaDMO® Benefit & Covered Services AetnaPPO® In-Network Only In-Network Non Network Employee Premium Contributions (Per Paycheck) Employee only Employee + 1 dependent Employee + 2 or more dependents Diagnostic & Preventative – Exams, cleanings, x-rays, sealants Basic – Fillings, simple tooth extractions, root canals, gum treatment, oral surgery Major – Crowns, inlays, onlays and denture repairs Calendar Year Deductibles $5.35 $9.63 $16.02 100%.

VSP is good for your eyes and your wallet. You don’t have to cut coupons or wait for a sale like with retail chains—your savings are built into your VSP plan. Plus, you can use a flexible savings account for any out-of-pocket costs, including copays, at your VSP doctor’s office. What makes VSP different? • Personalized Care. Establishing a relationship with your eye doctor is important. They can see differences in your vision and overall eye health. That’s why all VSP’s doctors are private-practice doctors. They stay in their practice year after year, so you don’t have to worry about seeing a new doctor each year. Our doctors take the time to get to know you and your eyes. Through a WellVision Exam®, they will look for vision problems and signs of other health conditions too. • Doctor Network. Experience the private-practice difference with a VSP doctor. You can get everything you want from a retail chain at a private-practice doctor, including weekend and evening appointments and the same eyewear selection, including designer brands. Plus, you’ll get personalized care from a doctor you can trust and who gets to know you and your eyes. VSP doctors are located nearby and all of them offer eyewear choices you’ll love. • Everyone Needs an Annual Eye Exam. Think you don’t need an eye exam because you have 20/20 vision or you’ve had laser vision surgery? Think again. Annual eye exams are important to your overall health. During your eye exam, a VSP doctor will look for vision problems and signs of other health conditions like diabetic eye disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. • Satisfaction Guaranteed. You’ll be 100% happy or we’ll make it right. Don’t just take our word for it. In 2008, Synovate, a global market research firm, ranked VSP “Highest in Overall Member Satisfaction” compared to other national vision plans. How the Vision Plan Works You have two VSP Vision plans to choose from: Premium and Core. Your Vision plan choice will depend on whether you are also enrolled in a Forever 21 Medical plan and whether you want to pay more from each paycheck for the richer benefits of the Premium Plan. If you enroll in any Medical plan with Forever 21, you will automatically be enrolled in the VSP Core Vision Plan at NO COST to you. If you enroll in a Medical plan with Forever 21, BUT want the benefits of a richer vision plan, you can elect to pay an additional amount each paycheck for the VSP Premium Plan. VSP Core Vision If you do not enroll Employee Premium Contributions (Per Paycheck) If you enroll in a in a Medical plan Medical plan* $1.45 No Cost Employee only $2.90 No Cost Employee + spouse $3.10 No Cost Employee + child(ren) $4.96 No Cost Employee + family Benefit Features In-Network Out-of-Network Copayment $10/exam $25/materials Wellvision Exam Every 12 Months Covered after Co-pay $45 Every 24 Months Lenses: Covered after Co-pay $30 Single Vision Covered after Co-pay $50 Lined Bifocal Covered after Co-pay $65 Lined Trifocal $130 $105 Elective Contact Lenses Frames: Every 24 Months $130 $70 Retinal Screenings NA If you DO NOT enroll in a Medical plan with Forever 21, but still want a vision plan, you can elect to enroll in either the VSP Core Plan or the VSP Premium Plan.

By setting aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck, you are reducing your taxable income and can therefore save money by reducing the amount of income tax you owe. You must re-enroll annually in these plans in order to participate for the next calendar year. For detailed information on qualifying FSA expenses, visit www.padmin.com (visitors). FSA operates on a calendar year, January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2014. IMPORTANT: USE IT OR LOSE IT! Calculate conservatively when making your 2013 FSA elections. IRS regulations require that any money left in your FSA at the end of the plan year be forfeited. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT • Your FSA elections will remain fixed for the entire plan year. However, if your family status changes, you may be able to increase or decrease your contributions to these accounts. • Funds cannot be transferred between your Health Care and Dependent Care accounts. • Generally the IRS does not consider a Domestic Partner as a qualified relative, so they (and their expenses) may not be claimed under the FSA plans, unless they qualify as dependents on your Federal income tax return. FSA Reminder: You must re-enroll annually in your FSA plan in order to participate for the next calendar year. 12 be healthy • be happy Health Care FSA The Health Care FSA allows you to set aside pre-tax earnings to pay for everyday eligible health care expenses for you and your eligible dependents. You can contribute between $100 and $2,500 each plan year to pay for qualifying out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug expenses. Examples of eligible expenses include: • co-payments, coinsurance & deductibles • charges for services or supplies not covered by your medical, dental, or vision plan • charges above the usual, customary and reasonable rates or plan maximums Examples of ineligible expenses include: • Cosmetic surgery • Botox • Restylane • No over-the-counter drugs unless prescribed by a physician Dependent Care FSA The Dependent Care FSA allows you to set aside pre-tax earnings to pay for a wide range of dependent care services for eligible members of your family. You can contribute between $100 and $5,000 each plan year to reimburse yourself for qualified dependent care expenses. Examples of eligible expenses include: • senior day care • child day care • in-home dependent care • private preschool program • nursery school • before and after-school programs • sick child care Eligible dependents include: • a child under age 13 in your custody whom you claim as a dependent on your tax return • a spouse who is incapable of self-care • a dependent who lives with you, such as a child over age 13, parent, sibling, or in-law who is incapable of self-care, and whom you claim as a dependent on your tax return Examples of ineligible expenses: • school expenses for children in first grade or above • food or clothing provided for your dependent • care provided by your spouse, your child under age 19, or someone you claim as a dependent for tax purposes • overnight camp expenses • transportation expenses to and from the care location • babysitting for social events COMMUTER PARKING AND TRANSIT Want to save 30% on your monthly parking or transit expenses for work? Enroll in the Parking/Transit Account and use taxfree dollars to pay for your cost of commuting to and from work! Estimate the money you expect to pay for parking or transit and have that dollar amount withheld from your paychecks pre-tax each month. Here’s An Example Of How The Tax Savings Works Commuting expenses are inevitable for you because you travel to work almost every day. Let’s assume you spend $100.00 per month for parking at work or commuting to and from work. By enrolling in the Parking/Transit Account, $100 will be withheld from your paychecks over a monthlong period pre-tax, so you never have to pay the state, federal and FICA taxes on your parking of transit expenses! If you fall within the average 30% tax bracket, enrolling in this account will save you approximately $30 every month! That’s an annual savings of $360! Parking/Transit Account Rules There are maximum amounts you can elect for this plan. The below amounts are based on the IRS pre-set maximum for the year 2013. • Maximum pre-tax parking contribution: $245 • Maximum pre-tax transit contribution: $245 The Parking/Transit Plan offers flexibility. Unlike the FSA Plan, with the Parking/Transit Account you can change your election amount each month. Please note that any change you make will become effective with the first pay period beginning on or after the following month. So, for example, let’s say you have a vacation and will not be commuting to work. You can change your election amount for that month by notifying your HR department. You will be asked to fill out a new election form for that month. Claim Submission Methods P&A Benefits Card If you enroll in this plan you will receive a debit card that can be used to pay for your parking/ transportation expenses to and from work. Employees who enroll in both the FSA and Parking/ Transit Account will receive one debit card for both accounts. If you are currently enrolled in the FSA and enroll in the Parking/Transit Account, your election amount will be automatically added to your current debit card. • Electronic Claim Upload: Upload claims directly at www.padmin.com. Log into your P&A account - Member Tools - Upload a Claim. When using this method you MUST provide a copy of your receipt in order to process the claim. If you do not have a copy of your receipt please click on the Un-receipt Claim System, which will direct you to our online claim system for parking/transportation expenses that do not have receipts. • Fax: (877) 855-7105* • Mail: 17 Court Street, Suite 500 Buffalo, NY 14202* *Must include a claim form. Claims forms are located here: Log into your P&A Account - Forms - Claim Form. If your parking garage or mass transportation system does not accept debit cards you can file a claim with P&A Group to receive reimbursement for your expense. Claims can be submitted using one of the three claim submission options. 2013-2014 Plan Year 13 GROUP BENEFIT: VOLUNTARY TERM LIFE (Unum) Buy-Up Term Life Insurance New Offering Employee: One times, two times, or three times your annual earnings to $500,000. You can apply for coverage up to $200,000 without answering any health questions or completing a medical exam.

The maximum death benefit for a child between the ages of live birth and 6 months is $1,000. Benefits will be paid to the employee. In order to purchase Voluntary Term Life Insurance coverage for your spouse and/or child, you must purchase coverage for yourself. Coverage amounts for life insurance for you and your spouse will reduce to 65% of the original amount when you reach age 70, and will reduce to 50% of the original amount when you reach age 75. Coverage may not be increased after a reduction. Accelerated benefit - If you become terminally ill and are not expected to live more than 12 months, you may request up to 50% of your life insurance amount, to a maximum of $750,000 or the plan maximum, whichever is less, without fees or present value adjustments.

Our voluntary benefits are unique in that they are not tied to us as an employer. So, if you ever leave the Forever 21 family, and we hope you don’t, you can take these benefits with you. Hearing the words “oops” is never a good thing. Maybe your spouse fell off the ladder while cleaning the gutters, or your child tripped and broke a tooth playing outside, or you threw your back out cleaning the garage. Unexpected accidents always have lousy timing, especially when you are responsible for insurance deductibles and outof-pocket costs. You need a plan that helps you protect your family and your wallet. Voluntary accident insurance from Unum can help with this: • Hospitalization deductibles and copays • Doctor visit copays • Visits to the emergency department • Physical therapy • Transportation and lodging Features you’ll appreciate Accident insurance can help cover the extra costs that can occur when you, your spouse or your children suffer a covered injury – like those that can happen during a game of pick-up basketball or when your kids go rollerblading. It also covers on-the-job accidents. • No health questions to answer – You will automatically receive the base plan if you apply. • Lump sum benefit – You will receive a predefined benefit based on the injury or qualifying event. • Family coverage: o Employees who are actively at work are eligible. Spouses age 17 to 64 who are actively at work or not disabled. Dependent children newborn until their 26th birthday. • A Catastrophic Benefit* is included with this plan. This pays an additional sum if a covered individual has a serious injury – such as loss of sight, hearing or a limb – before age 65. Additional coverage options • Your employer has selected the optional Sickness Hospital Confinement Benefit. If chosen, this benefit could pay you or your spouse a $100 daily benefit if hospitalized due to a covered illness. Children receive 75% of the employee amount. Other important information • Premiums are automatically deducted from your paycheck. • Coverage becomes effective on the first day of the month in which payroll deductions begin. • This plan may be portable should you leave the company or retire. The policy has exclusions and limitations which may affect any benefits payable. See the actual policy or your Unum representative for specific provisions and details of availability.

CE-13068 (8-13) *365 day elimination period applies 2013-2014 Plan Year 15 VOLUNTARY BENEFITS: WHOLE LIFE (Unum) Why consider interest sensitive whole life? Interest-sensitive whole life insurance can provide an additional source of financial protection for your working years and provide options for your retirement. Plan Features • Policy can build cash value based on the current interest rate and is guaranteed to earn the minimum 4%. • Interest-sensitive whole life insurance premiums do not increase as you get older. • The death benefit (the policy’s face value) remains constant and does not decrease as you get older. The death benefit can only be reduced if there is a policy debt. • If you are actively at work* for a minimum of 30 hours per week, you can sign up during Forever 21’s enrollment period and apply for insurance without taking a health exam. However, you will be asked several health questions. • If you choose, you can use the accumulated cash value to buy a smaller “paid-up” policy with no more premiums due, or cash in the policy at any time. • You own the policy and can take it with you if you leave the company or retire. *Eligible employees must be actively at work to apply for coverage. Being “actively at work” means that on the day you apply for coverage, you are working at one of your company’s business locations, or you are working at a location where you are required to represent your company. If you are applying for coverage on a day that is not one of your scheduled workdays, then you will be considered actively at work if you meet this definition as of your last scheduled workday. You are not considered actively at work if your normal duties are limited or altered due to your health, or if you are on a leave of absence. ±Limited life expectancy of 24 months in IL, MA and WA. Additional features • Living Benefit Option Rider – automatically included at no extra charge on all policies. You can request up to 100% of the death benefit (to a maximum of $150,000) if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that limits life expectancy to 12 months± or less. Any payout reduces the death benefit. • Accidental Death Benefit Rider – pays an extra benefit equal to the base policy amount (subject to a $150,000 maximum) if the policy holder dies before age 70 as the result of a covered accident. Payout is doubled if insured dies as a result of a covered accident while a fare-paying passenger via commercial transportation. Death benefit will increase by 25% if death occurs while wearing a seat belt while driving or riding in a non-commercial automobile. • Wavier of premium – an additional benefit included in this policy, if you become disabled prior to age 65 and remain disabled for at least six months, premiums paid during the six month waiting period are refunded and will be waived as long as you remain disabled. Available to employees age 15 to 55. Family Coverage options • This insurance is available for your spouse, based on a qualifying health question, even if you don’t apply for your own policy. • Coverage is available for your children, stepchildren, legally adopted children, grandchildren age 14 days through 24 years. Interest-sensitive whole life is available as a standalone policy, or a children’s term rider* can be attached to your policy – or your spouse’s policy – if you are less than 65 years old. *not available in WA Unum offers interest sensitive whole life insurance as a Guarantee Issue, depending on your eligibility.

Unum individual short term disability insurance replaces a portion of your income if you are unable to work due to a covered injury or sickness. This means you can have some income during a time of need. Common reasons people use this coverage include pregnancy, injuries and digestive problems – such as gall bladder surgery. Advantages of the plan • Choose a monthly benefit from $400 to $5,000 for an illness or off-the-job injury.

The available monthly benefits will be paid upon fulfillment of the elimination period. Benefits will not be paid if the insured individual gives birth within nine months after the coverage becomes effective.
