Short & Long Term Disability Insurances
Short and long-term disability benefits are provided by the College as an income replacement benefit that pays a percentage of pre-disability earnings when employees are out of work on a disability claim.
- There are many reasons a person may use these benefits including maternity leave, when there is recovery time following a procedure, if you need to be out of work for a serious illness or injury, and more.
- If a claim is approved, short term disability benefits begin after you have been unable to work for 10 consecutive calendar days and may continue to a maximum of 26 weeks.
- The short term disability plan pays a benefit of 66-2/3% base earnings replacement for those hired after 7/1/09, and 100% salary replacement for those hired before 7/1/09 for up to 26 weeks if Unum approves the claim.
- These benefits are paid through payroll on a bi-weekly basis.
- Long term disability benefits begin after 26 weeks (180 days) if a person is medically required to continue to be out of work and Unum approves.
- The long term disability plan pays a benefit of 60% of base earnings up to $10,000 per month, less any other benefits one may be qualified to receive. These benefits are paid by Unum on a monthly basis.
GMHEC’s Leave of Absence Specialist would help you through the claim process if that time comes.
