CDS offers new Workers Compensation insurance benefit
CDS has reached agreements with Accident Fund Insurance Company of America and the Southpoint Insurance Agency for the endorsement of the WorkSafe Partners Group Dividend Program for Workers Compensation insurance. This new benefit will allow CDS members to obtain a 5% up-front discount and make them eligible to receive a back-end dividend if they elect to participate in the program.
Southpoint Insurance Agency, located in Mokena, IL, will serve as the CDS “preferred agent” for those members who choose to contact them for this coverage. Information about the program, which began June 1, may be obtained by contacting Southpoint Insurance Agency directly at 708.478.3440 or visiting www.sthpoint.com.
