Disability Insurance
Our disability insurance benefits help protect your income if you are unable to work due to disability.
You are eligible for Short-term Disability and Basic Long-term Disability at no cost to you the first of the month following your date of hire.
Buy-up LTD
You may choose to purchase Buy-up LTD coverage during Annual Enrollment or as a new hire.
Buy-up LTD provides an additional 15% of income replacement coverage, which would bring your total LTD benefit to 65% of your basic monthly earnings, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $20,000.
The portion of your monthly earnings replaced by the additional Buy-up LTD benefit will include bonuses and commissions.
