What is the Georgia Poultry Federation Growers Benefits Program?

We offer a quality benefits solution that could be a good fit for many reasons including: - Competitive rates - Variety of comprehensive medical plans, including Health Savings Accounts - Predictable, fixed monthly payments - Flexibility in choice of benefit plan - Plans with a broad provider network and prescription formulary (drug list) - Guaranteed approval for $100,000 in life insurance with no exam - Option to add dental, vision, life, accident, crticial illness, cancer and Medicare plans to build a personalized benefits package tailored to your needs.



Who is eligible to participate?

The Georgia Poultry Federation Growers Benefits Program is available to contract growers located in Georgia who are members of the Georgia Poultry Federation. Growers must be in good standing with the Georgia Poultry Federation and domiciled in Georgia. If your farm meets the qualifications of a contract grower but you are not currently member of the Georgia Poultry Federation, you can satisfy membership requirements when you enroll in the Benefits Program.



When will the Benefits Program start?

Can we join the Benefits Program at any time during the year?

Yes, members can enroll any month of the year.



My spouse and I are the only two employees at our farm. Can we join the Benefits Program?

Yes! You can enroll in the Transamerica life, accident, cancer, or critical illness plans. You may also enroll in the Medicare products if you are 65+ years old or eligible for Medicare due to disability.

The Humana medical, dental, and vision plans require at least two employees to enroll. A husband and wife count as one employee. You could add an additional employee to qualify for the Humana plans. Some examples of other employees who can be added to your plan, along with you and your spouse, are:

  • Other employees who work for the farm

  • An adult child who works for the farm

  • Employee who does not work in poultry but still works for your farm (cattle, events, etc.)

  • Employees who work for another business you own (a separate business from the farm)
