APFA Self-Enrollment Portal for Aflac® Supplemental Benefits
It’s important to note that if you reside in the state of New York, you can only enroll online through the self-enrollment portal)

1. Does this replace the September Annual Enrollment?
   No. This is a special enrollment process.
2. Can I sign up for Short Term Disability?
   No. Short-Term Disability is only available during September Annual Enrollment.
3. Can I pay for the policies on my own?
   Yes. The Self-Pay forms are available on the Aflac pages of our APFA website and will be provided at the end of your enrollment with Aflac®.
4. Can I take the policies with me if I am retiring?
   Yes, all but the Short-Term Disability.
5. Can I add on products if I am already enrolled?
   Yes. You can do that during this process.
6. Why can I not see the prices or information on the cost?
   Other than the standard Group Accident Policy (which averages $2.72 semi-monthly) and the Hospital Indemnity Plan (which averages $10.63 semi-monthly), the cost of the plans is related to your situation (spouse, children, age, smoker vs. non-smoker, etc.).
7. Can I double-dip with other policies I have purchased?
   Yes. These are voluntary supplemental policies. The policy pays out regardless of any other insurance.
8. Will the policy pay my doctor directly?
   Aflac® payouts are direct to the consumer.
9. What is the Telemedicine offer, and what is the benefit?
   The Telemedicine offer is a considerable benefit mostly because it is affordable. It covers your entire family for the same price, and most importantly, there are $0 co-pays or deductibles. Many other plans want you to pay a co-pay once you see the doctor through the portal. Here’s the link: www.247APFA.com
