Disability Insurance
The District-paid income protection benefit covers all regular full-time classified, academic, and MSC employees with short-term/long-term disability insurance. Part-time employees (excluding associate faculty) may purchase income protection at a pro-rated premium. Eligibility is the first day of the month following the employee's date of hire.
Associate Faculty pay for State Disability Insurance (SDI) through payroll deductions. California workers covered by SDI qualify for Paid Family Leave (PFL).
Classified, Academic & MSC
Upon an employee's total disability due to accident or illness The Hartford pays an income equivalent to 66 2/3% of the insured earnings, reduced by income from
other sources, subject to a maximum monthly benefit of $6,000. Benefits are integrated
with other group disability benefits. For academic members the policy provides income
protection for only one year providing the employee is vested with STRS. After the
one-year period the employee is eligible for STRS disability retirement. For classified
employees the plan pays to age 65. Benefits begin after 30 days have elapsed and all
sick leave and vacation (if applicable) hours have been used.
