Short-Term Disability insurance provides income protection if you are unable to work due to illness, injury, or other disability (including pregnancy and childbirth).
Short-Term Disability
Eligibility
Full-time faculty, staff, and LIUNA bargaining unit employees have the opportunity to purchase Short-Term Disability insurance upon hire or becoming newly benefits eligible. You may elect or drop Short-Term Disability coverage during annual enrollment.
About the Program
Short-Term Disability benefits begin after the 14th consecutive day of illness and continue for up to 11 weeks provided you remain disabled and unable to work. The plan will pay 60% of your weekly base earnings, not to exceed $2,500 per week, for an eligible absence. Accrued sick and vacation leave must be used to supplement Short-Term Disability. Your benefits may be reduced if you are receiving other disability benefits such as Workers’ Compensation or Social Security.
