The benefit may be expressed in a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the weekly salary of the insured because it is based on a 7-day work week. The maximum allowed benefit will be up to 70% of the insured’s weekly salary. Benefit duration is from 13 weeks up to 26 weeks. The benefit percentage may consist of: 50%, 60%, 66.67%, or 70% of the weekly salary.

 The available options are 13 and 26 weeks. For policies that include both, STD and LTD coverage (Long Term Disability Insurance) for the same policyholder within the same group, the length of the STD benefit must be considered with the provisions of the LTD coverage to avoid a coverage overlap.
The available options are 1, 8, 15, and 31 days for disabilities caused by accidents, and 8, 15, and 31 days for disabilities caused by illnesses.

If successive disability periods are not separated by at least two weeks of full time employment between them, they will be considered as one disability period. An individual previously insured under a previous STD plan does not have to satisfy a new elimination period before the Universal Life Insurance Company coverage may begin.

Available options: $0, $25, $35, $40, or $50 per week.

 This option is available to provide benefits starting on the first day of hospitalization or treatment in a hospital facility or surgery center.
