Long Term Disability Insurance
The College pays 100 percent of the premium. The LTD insurance provides income protection to the employee in the event of total disability due to illness or injury. If the employee becomes totally disabled, after a waiting period of six months and approval by the College carrier, the employee receives a monthly benefit of 60 percent of salary up to a maximum monthly benefit (including benefits from Social Security, Workers Compensation and disability income from State Employees’ or Public School Employees’ Plans) provided there is evidence that the disability leave will be longer than six months. Once the employee meets the six month waiting period, the college goes back and provides retroactive coverage for three months. The policy also pays 10 percent of base salary at time of disability into a TIAA/CREF retirement plan.
