Short-Term Disability

When certain health-related reasons, such as childbirth or serious injury, keep you from working more than seven (7) calendar days, Short-Term Disability (STD) helps fill the gap. While health insurance will cover a portion of your expenses, it may not cover everything and doesn’t help with your day-to-day costs. 

STD provides income continuation of 100% of your base salary for up to 13 weeks during any rolling 12-month period. This coverage begins after seven (7) consecutive days of time away from work due to a major injury or medical reason.
