The Long-Term Disability Income Plan was established on Sept. 4, 1981, for the purpose of providing income to eligible employees while disabled as a result of injury, illness or pregnancy.

Long-Term Disability (LTD) is an income replacement plan which provides you with an income of 70% of your biweekly earnings. In order to qualify for LTD benefits, you must be medically certified as disabled from performing the duties of your regular occupation. After the first 12 months, LTD benefits are continued if you are medically certified as totally disabled from any gainful employment.  Following the date of your disability, you must serve an elimination period of 30 calendar days. Benefits will begin on the 31st day following your date of disability and are paid biweekly.
