Short – Term Disability
This benefit is paid for 100% by VPP. There is no cost to you, the employee.
VPP provides employees with group short-term coverage for those unexpected situations that may keep you from performing the daily responsibilities of your job.
Your disability plan is available to help supplement your income when you are not able to continue employment for a certain period of time. Short-term disability benefits may be reduced by benefits received from state disability or temporary worker’s compensation programs. Total benefits received from the policy, state disability, temporary worker’s compensation programs and employers’ Paid Time Off pay may not exceed 100% of your income prior to your disability.
