Whats the difference between Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability?
Both Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability replace a percentage of your pay if you are unable to work due to a covered disabling accident or illness. Typically, Short-Term Disability plans provide coverage for about three to six months, while Long-Term Disability plans provide coverage for months or years longer. Please carefully read any communication or enrollment material from your employer, or check with your employer for details and terms of the specific coverage you may be eligible for.
