Payroll Deduction for Liberty Mutual Sparks Membership Growth in Leon County

Creative Benefits and Liberty Mutual have launched a program to achieve dedicated payroll slots in twenty counties. The program provides payroll deduction for Liberty Mutual for homeowners and automobile insurance, saving members as much as $450 on processing fees in addition to Liberty Mutual’s already discounted rates for members. David Worrell, president of Leon Classroom Teacher’s Association, the first county with a fully operating payroll slot, reports 25 new Liberty Mutual policies in one month. There also has been a bump in membership due in large part to Liberty Mutual representatives and Leon Classroom Teachers Association representatives teaming up to visit schools. Creative Benefits has been involved in the development and implementation of the program. In today’s economic environment, teachers and school employees need all of the cost saving programs they can take advantage of and this program offers great incentives for members.
