What are Short-Term Disability Benefits?
Short-term disability (STD) benefits provide temporary financial assistance to individuals who are unable to work due to a non-work-related illness or injury. These benefits are designed to replace a portion of your income, helping you cover essential living expenses while you focus on getting better.
Types of Benefits:
- Income replacement: Often, STD benefits replace 40% to 70% of your pre-disability income.
- Duration of Benefits: Depending on policy, benefits may last from a few weeks up to six months.
- Additional coverage: Some polices may offer additional benefits, such as partial disability benefits and rehabilitation services if returning to work.
Eligibility Criteria
- Employment Status: You must be employed and covered under a short-term disability insurance policy, either through your employer or private plan.
- Disability Definition: You must meet the policy’s definition of disability, which typically means being unable to perform the duties of your specific occupation
- Waiting Period: There is often an elimination or waiting period, during which you must be continuously disabled before benefits begin.
