History

In the spring of 1882, Thomas Caldecot Chubb and his son Percy opened their marine underwriting business in the seaport district of New York City. Having collected $1,000 from each of 100 prominent merchants to start their venture, they focused on insuring ships and cargoes. The Chubbs were adept at turning risk into success, often by helping their policyholders prevent disasters before they occurred. By the turn of the century, Chubb had established strong relationships with the insurance agents and brokers who placed their clients' business with Chubb underwriters, and the original subscribers enjoyed a substantial return on their investment in the young company.

The Chubb Corporation was formed in 1967 and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1984. It ranks among the top 10 publicly traded insurance organizations based on revenues in the United States.

Benefits

Medical
Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Jersey provides Chubb's national preferred provider organization (PPO) network and is offered in all Chubb U.S. locations.  Other plans, including point-of-service (POS) and health maintenance organizations (HMOs), are also available in many Chubb locations.  Your eligible dependents (your spouse or qualifying domestic partner and children) may also be enrolled for medical coverage when you are enrolled.
 
Dental
The dental plan encourages preventive care and covers most dental services.  Two point-of-service options are offered in all Chubb locations with the option of a dental maintenance organization (DHMO).  When you use network providers you can reduce your out-of-pocket costs.  When enrolled in a point-of-service coverage option, you can obtain your dental care from any dentist you wish and still have coverage.  Your eligible dependents (your spouse or qualifying domestic partner and children) can be enrolled for dental coverage when you are enrolled.
 
Vision Care
The vision care plan helps you manage the cost of periodic routine eye examinations and quality corrective eyewear (eyeglasses or contact lenses).  Your eligible dependents (your spouse or qualifying domestic partner and children) may also be enrolled for vision care coverage when you are enrolled.
 
Disability Coverage
After three months of service, Chubb's sick pay benefits, short-term disability and long-term disability plans may continue your salary - in full or in part - if you are unable to work because of illness or injury.
 
Employee Life Insurance
You may choose from seven coverage amounts: $50,000 or from one-half your annual salary to five times your annual salary.  Chubb pays the full cost for term life insurance equal to your full annual salary.  Non-smokers receive a discounted rate.
 
Dependent Life Insurance
You may purchase term life insurance for your spouse or qualifying domestic partner and/or children.
 
Personal Accident Insurance
You may choose among several options from ($50,000 to $500,000) that will cover you and your eligible dependents in the event of accidental death or certain serious injuries.
 
Spending Accounts
Chubb offers two types of spending accounts - a Health Care Spending Account and a Dependent Care Spending Account - to provide a way for you to lower your taxable income by setting aside money pre-tax for expenses you know you will have to pay during the year.  By making pre-tax contributions to one or both spending accounts and submitting eligible expenses for reimbursement, you can save money on health care expenses not covered by insurance and/or child/elder care cost.
 
Financial Planning
The financial planning option provides resources to help you meet your financial goals.  A well-designed financial planning website and phone access to professional financial counselors with expertise in Chubb's benefits will help you establish your personalized plan.
 
Business Travel Accident Insurance
In addition to the ChubbChoice benefits, Chubb automatically provides you with insurance that will pay up to five times your annual salary (with a $1,000,000 maximum) should you be injured or die while traveling on company business.

Chubb Capital Accumulation Plan (CCAP)
Each year you may save up to 25% of your eligible compensation in CCAP - Chubb's 401K Plan.  You choose whether your contributions will be pre-tax or after-tax and you decide how your money will be invested.  There are seventeen funds to choose among - each with different characteristics and risk levels.
You can begin saving your own money the 1st of the month following one full calendar month of eligible service.  Beginning the first January, April, July, or October following your one-year anniversary, Chubb will match up to 4% of your pre-tax contributions dollar-for-dollar.  That's another dollar from Chubb (received at the end of the year) for every dollar you put in up to 4% subject to IRS limits.
 
The Chubb CashBuilder Pension Plan
Chubb pays the entire cost of the CashBuilder Pension Plan - you make no contribution to it.
Once you are a plan participant - the first January or July after one year of service - your CashBuilder account is credited twice each year with an amount based on your pay, age, and years of service.  Your CashBuilder account builds steadily throughout your career.  Once you are vested, you can receive your CashBuilder account as a lump sum or as monthly payments for life when you retire or leave Chubb for any reason.
 
Social Security
Chubb matches your own Social Security contributions (FICA taxes) dollar-for-dollar.

Paid Time-Off (PTO)
Chubb's paid time-off policy provides you with flexibility to help you meet your personal needs.  Based on your service, you receive a "bank" of PTO days to use during the year.  Chubb also observes a generous schedule of paid holidays.
 
Flexible Work Arrangements
Chubb employees currently work a variety of flexible schedules including short-week, part-time,  job share, telecommuting and flextime.
