Accident

Effingham County Schools offers an accident plan through Voya Financial to protect you from unexpected non-occupational accidents, as it can be difficult to financially plan for the unexpected.  This plan provides a benefit payable according to a schedule, and the funds may be used for any purposes, including helping to pay for medical out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and coinsurance.
