Quit Aflac

The idea of buying supplemental insurance is a good one --- coverage for disabilities, unforeseen medical emergencies and unemployment can mean the difference between financial survival and disaster. Aflac is one company that offers such supplemental insurance. In many cases, the policies do not even come with spending stipulations. But even the best of insurance policies can become more than you can afford or want to spend.


Instructions


1. Call Aflac's customer service center at 800-992-3522.


2. Ask to stop your policy if it is one you purchased independently and not through a payroll deduction plan of your employer's. The customer service representative can cancel a policy you purchased on your own immediately.


3. Wait until open enrollment comes around again (either January or October, in most cases) at your employer if you purchased your policy through a payroll-deduction plan.


4. Inform your employer that you would like to stop paying for Aflac's policies when open enrollment occurs. At that time, your deductions stop and so does your policy.
