Disability
Are your employees protected in the event of an accident or illness that prevents them from working? Do you have a plan in place that will cover costs associated with hiring and training a replacement? As your trusted insurance advisors, our account managers help you understand all the coverage options available to you and your employees.
Group Disability Policies
Group Disability Policies are available for Short Term and Long Term Disability.
-
Short Term Disability (STD) — Short Term Disability provides a weekly income during the first part of a disability. Income can start immediately or after a specified elimination period. Benefits generally expire after 6, 13, or 26 weeks.
-
Long Term Disability (LTD) — Long Term Disability provides a monthly income if an employee is off work for an extended period of time. LTD payments do not begin until after the specified elimination period has been met. The elimination period generally ranges from three months to two years before disability income begins. These plans are often coordinated with a short term plan.
Good to Know!
Studies have shown that between the ages of 35 and 65, there is a 50 percent chance of a disability preventing an employee from working for at least 90 days. As your dedicated benefits specialists, we help you find the right coverage options at an affordable rate.
