LONG TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE (1-800-874-0831)
Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits provides you with loss of income protection if you become disabled from a sickness, pregnancy, or accidental bodily injury. Once your claim is approved by The Hartford, your benefits begin after you have been disabled for 120 consecutive days (known as the elimination period).
You may enroll in or cancel LTD at any time during the year. However, employees who enroll in the plan more than 31 days after their eligibility date are required to provide proof of good health that must be approved before coverage can begin. Employees may continue Long Term Disability insurance on an individual basis directly with the insurance company after termination of employment unless the employee retires.
During Annual Enrollment (October 15 - November 14), you may enroll in one of the University's Long Term Disability Programs; make application to select another benefit option; cancel participation.
