Disability Insurance
If you experience an injury or illness that prevents you from working, disability insurance provides partial income replacement to assist you financially.
Short-Term Disability (STD)
Short-Term Disability coverage, through Unum, provides you with a portion of income replacement if you are unable to work due to a non-occupational illness or injury. You are automatically enrolled in STD at no cost to you. Coverage is effective the
first day of the month following your date of hire.

Voluntary Long-Term Disability (LTD)
Long-Term Disability pays you a portion of your earnings if you cannot work for an extended period of time due to a disabling
illness or injury.
You will continue to receive benefits until you no longer meet the definition of disability or reach your Social Security Normal Retirement Age. Benefits are reduced by other sources of disability income you may qualify for such as Social Security and Workers’ Compensation.
