Group Short-Term Disability Details

Below is an overview the of the Group Short-Term Disability program details. For more in depth benefit and pricing information, please Contact Us to discuss your specific needs.

  • An employer-paid, short-term disability insurance plan. All eligible employees must participate.
  • Three options are available – the difference between each option lies in the date that the disability benefits begin.  The employer chooses start date after a disability, and whether the benefit is based on a percentage of the employee’s salary (60% or 70%) or a flat amount not to exceed 70% of an employee’s salary. 
  • The maximum benefit payable is $750 per week, though a lower maximum (in increments of $50) may be elected.  All benefits are payable up to a maximum of 26 weeks.
  • Weekly income excludes earnings from overtime, bonuses, commissions or any other form of additional pay.
  • No benefits are paid for disabilities eligible under Worker’s Compensation or a similar law.
  • Employees must be actively employed on the effective date of coverage.
