Short Term Disability
Short Term Disability (STD) replaces lost income for up to 26 weeks if you are unable to perform all duties of your occupation. You may select a benefit level based on your gross annual salary. Benefits levels range from $360 to $3,000 per month. The benefit pays the first day following a non work-related accident and the eighth day following an illness (pregnancy/childbirth is considered an illness).

Acceptance for STD coverage is guaranteed. You do not need to complete a health questionnaire. However, there is a 12-month pre-existing condition exclusion. You may only apply during the open enrollment period or within 31 days of your hire date.
