If the employee returns to work less than full-time, regular duty, is he or she still eligible to receive a benefit and waiver of premium?
During the benefit waiting period and for the next 24 months, if the employee is unable to perform the material duties of his or her occupation with reasonable continuity as a result of sickness, injury, or pregnancy, the employee may still be eligible for benefits and waiver of premium. The employee may also be eligible for benefits if he or she has returned to work under the “Return to Work Incentive Program”, which offers financial incentives to return to work to the extent of his or her abilities.
