Insurance & Benefits through The Federation

The Federation is committed to ensuring the community social services sector feels secure and protected. That’s why we offer our member agencies access to a suite of insurance programs. These programs provide high-quality, comprehensive, and reliable insurance products and services at a reasonable cost. Our insurance providers are dedicated to delivering excellent service and tailoring coverage to meet the unique needs of each agency and employee.

When Federation members and sector partners choose to purchase insurance programs through our providers at Schmunk Gatt Smith and Associates (Health, Dental, and Disability Insurance) or HUB International (General Insurance), they are not just securing their interests. They are making a significant contribution to The Federation’s financial operations, which empowers us to advocate for and enhance BC’s social care sector. Your support is invaluable to us.

For those who are not yet members of The Federation, we want you to know that you are still welcome to access our Insurance Products. Check out our Benefit Affiliate Program below or contact The Federation office for more information. We believe in making our services accessible to all who are interested.

Extended health benefits & RRSP options through Schmunk Gatt Smith & Associates

Since 1984, we have collaborated with Schmunk Gatt Smith and Associates to develop the Federation Association Benefit Plan. This plan, now one of only three that meet the requirements of the BC Community Services Collective Agreement, is open to organizations of all sizes. In fact, even organizations with as few as three staff members are eligible to participate. We firmly believe that offering comprehensive health benefits is a key factor in attracting and retaining a skilled workforce in the social services field.

Through our robust partnership with Schmunk Gatt Smith & Associates, The Federation Association Benefit Plan (FABP) has been a reliable choice for community social services sector member agencies since 1983. The FABP is one of only three fully insured plans that have been accepted as compliant with the terms of the BC Community Services Collective Agreement. This plan is an excellent choice for both union and non-union agencies across the province, ensuring that all organizations can benefit from our partnership. Rest assured, all of the plan’s providers are “A-rated” and known for their quality, accountability, and track records, providing you with the security and confidence you need.

General Insurance is administered through HUB International

We understand that many Federation members have established relationships with insurance providers in their communities. However, we also recognize the unique challenges many of our members face, particularly smaller organizations, in accessing high-quality, affordable insurance products that meet their needs. That’s why we’ve taken this step to partner with HUB International.

That’s why The Federation has partnered with HUB International Limited, a comprehensive insurance provider offering a wide range of high-quality and affordable insurance products, which we believe will meet the diverse needs of our members. Visit the HUB International website for more information and to contact their dedicated Community Social Services Specialist.
