Long Term Disability

Long-term disability plans provide financial protection for you by paying a portion of your income while you are disabled. The amount you receive is based on the amount you earned before your disability began. Sometimes, you can receive disability payments even if you work while disabled.

Please review your plan information for your class - Teacher or Support Staff.

Teachers

This is an optional benefit for teachers covered under the collective bargaining agreement who work at least 17.5 hours per week. The employee pays for this coverage on a post-tax basis. Each spring, during the open enrollment, you can enroll in this benefit if you currently don’t have this coverage. New hires will have thirty (30) days to decide, and coverage will begin the first of the month following. Submit the enrollment form to the Human Resources office. Remember that not all request for information on the form pertains to long-term disability; only fill out the applicable information.

Support Staff

Long Term Disability is an employer-funded benefit, and there is no cost for employees covered under the collective bargaining agreement. HR will enroll you automatically if you meet all the eligibility requirements.
