What is the difference between Workers Compensation and University Paid (Liberty Mutual) Disability?
Workers Compensation disability is provided for medically certified industrial injuries; that is any injury, illness, or disease that results from work or working conditions and which occurs during the employees service to the University. University paid disability (UPD) which is often coupled with employee paid disability (EPD) pays benefits if an employee cannot come to work because of a medically certified temporarily disabling illness or injury that is not work related, and that requires the employee to be under a doctors direct and continuous care.
