In order to qualify for this benefit, you must have at least one year of contributing retirement membership service earned within the 36 calendar months preceding your disability, and meet all plan requirements.
Benefits are paid by the employer after a 60-day waiting period and provide monthly income (before any offsets) equal to 50 percent of one-twelfth of your annual base salary. This benefit is payable up to 365 calendar days.
Extended Short-Term Disability
An additional period of Short-Term Disability may be approved, not to exceed 365 days. You must meet all disability requirements and be approved by the plan’s medical board.
