SHORT TERM DISABILITY

Short-term disability insurance can help protect your income in the event of a disability by providing you a benefit for injuries and sickness that are not work related. You are eligible to enroll in this plan at your own cost and benefits are payroll deducted.

Plan Features Include:

 Weekly benefits are 60% of your basic weekly pay -maximum of $1,000 per week.

 Benefits begin on the 8th day of disability for accident, sickness or pregnancy. Pregnancy is covered as any other disability. Benefits are payable to 12 weeks.

 Benefits are not subject to federal income tax when premiums are paid with after-tax dollars (post-tax deduction from paycheck).

 You may qualify for disability benefits by meeting either an occupation test or an earnings test

 Occupation Test: you may qualify under the occupation test if you are under the regular care and attendance of a doctor, and an injury, sickness or pregnancy prevents you from performing at least one of the material duties of your occupation.

 Earnings Test: you may qualify under the earnings test if any injury, sickness or pregnancy prevents you from earning more than 99% of your pre-disability pay.
