Short-Term Disability

 

Short-term disability is self-funded by Campbell County School District.

 

The elimination period for short-term disability is 60 calendar days or the end of unused leave (sick, convenience and vacation), whichever is greater. The maximum benefit period for short-term disability following the elimination period is 120 caledar days.

 

The benefit is equal to 60% of an employee's basic monthly earnings, reduced by other income benefits as described in the Summary Plan Document. Wyoming Workers' Compensation, primary and family social security benefits, and other benefits as described in the Short-Term Disability Plan will reduce short-term disability benefits. The minimum monthly benefit is $50.00. The maximum monthly benefit is $5,000.

 

Long-Term Disability

 

If the disability continues past the maximum benefit period for short-term disability coverage (180 calendar days after the date of disability or the end of unused leave (sick, convenience and vacation), whichever is greater), long-term disability benefits will commence.

 

The long-term disability maximum benefit period is until age 65 or death. Final interpretation of the Employer's Plan is governed by the terms, conditions, and provisions of the entire contract including the Policy, Certificate and any Amendments. The benefit is 60% of the first $8,333.00 of an employee's pre-disability earnings reduced by other income benefits as described in the insurance policy. The minimum monthly benefit is 10% of the monthly benefit before being reduced by other income benefits or $100, whichever is greater.

 

For additional information regarding long-term disability benefits, employees should refer to the Certificate of Insurance.
