Insurance
The RCA’s Book of Church Order requires a minister’s employer (whether a church or another organization, in the case of a specialized minister) to provide these benefits to the minister. When a church extends a call to a pastor, the church promises to provide all three kinds of insurance, in addition to contributions to the RCA 403(b) Retirement Program.

Does BOBS administer Long Term Care insurance?
BOBS used to administer a Long Term Care (LTC) insurance program, but has not administered that program in over ten years. In 2012, the insurance company approached BOBS letting us know that they were going to end the sale of group LTC policies. At that time, many of our participants were allowed to convert their LTC insurance to an individual plan, and pay premiums directly to the insurance company. A number of our participants chose to convert their insurance, and still hold an individual LTC insurance policy.
If you currently maintain Long Term Care insurance as an individual policy, you may call Unum at any time to get information about your policy at 1-866-679-3054 or visit their website: https://www.unum.com/employees/Benefits/long-term-care-insurance.
As part of the benefit package, GSC staff, are offered a voluntary LTC insurance option where they can enroll in various options and are required to pay the premiums through payroll deductions. Any questions can be directed to the GSC human resources department.
