SUMMARY OF SHORT-TERM AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISABILITY PLANS
Short-Term Disability is paid for by the University. Supplemental Disability is paid for by the employee. Benefits start after an employee's chosen waiting period (7, 30, 90, or 180 days) or after the employee has exhausted the required 22 working days of sick leave, whichever occurs later. Short-Term Disability pays 55% of an employee's eligible earnings up to $800 per month for up to six months. Supplemental Disability, combined with all other sources of disability or retirement income received (e.g., Short-Term Disability, Social Security, UCRP, Workers' Compensation), pays 70% of an employee's eligible earnings up to $10,000 per month for up to 12 months of temporary disability. If an employee is still disabled after 12 months of benefits, the Supplemental plan may pay long-term disability benefits to fill in the difference between other sources of disability or retirement income and 70% of the employee's eligible earnings.
Note: Eligibility for Short-Term and Supplemental Disability benefits is determined by the carrier.
