Discapacidad

Introducción

We offer three types of disability insurance:

Short-term disability (STD)—you are automatically enrolled* at 60% coverage level or can choose 70% buy-up coverage, costs correspond to your coverage level
Basic long-term disability (LTD)—you are automatically enrolled, no cost to you
Supplemental LTD—you can choose buy-up coverage

_{*You may chose to opt-out of coverage. If you opt-out during your initial eligibility window, you will be subject to the pre-existing conditions should you enroll in the future. See below for details.}

Short-term Disability (STD)

STD pays a portion of your salary for up to 180 days if you can’t work because of a qualified illness, injury or become the parent of a new child.

Cómo funciona

You are automatically enrolled at 60% coverage when you become eligible for benefits, or can chose 70% buy-up coverage. Plans come at a cost that correspond to your coverage level.
You can opt out during your enrollment window, but if you do, you might not be covered for certain pre-existing conditions if you enroll at a later time (see below).
Your STD premiums are deducted from your paycheck every pay period, before taxes.

STD is the only way to receive maternity, parental and adoption benefits. View LOA page for details.

Pre-existing Conditions*

If you've been diagnosed, treated or received medical advice for a condition within three months of your effective date on the plan, your condition may be excluded for coverage under STD, as detailed below.

If you enroll as a new hire or because you are newly eligible for benefits:
The pre-existing condition provision does not apply.
If you enroll outside of annual enrollment due to a qualifying life event:
Conditions from the 3 months prior to your effective date would be excluded from coverage for a period of 12 months.
If you enroll during annual enrollment:
Any conditions from October to December (prior to the plan’s effective date of enero 1) would be excluded from coverage for a period of 12 months. This includes pregnancy.

_{*Applicable if enrollment occurs outside of initial eligibility}

Long-term Disability (LTD)

Basic LTD may pick up where STD leaves off. It pays 50% of your salary, up to $15,000^* a month, starting on the 181^st day of disability. Basic LTD is provided to you at no cost, and you are automatically enrolled.
