The Standard expands workplace benefits after Allstate acquisition

The Standard announced plans to integrate the voluntary benefits portfolio acquired from Allstate Benefits’ American Heritage unit with its existing core offerings.

Effective January 1, 2026, the expanded lineup will include voluntary products such as accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance, alongside new Permanent Life options with an LTC rider. The move also restructures sales and client management into a unified workplace benefits team, aligning expertise across product lines to better serve employers and brokers nationwide.

“Our combined suite of workplace benefits marks a powerful new era for The Standard and our partners. We are proud to deliver an unmatched range of solutions — backed by a team of true experts — that will have meaningful results for our customers. We are redefining the benefits experience and empowering employers and brokers with unparalleled flexibility and choice — all from one reliable, trusted partner.” – David Payne, executive vice president of Employee Benefits at The Standard.
