Long-Term Disability (LTD) Salary Calculation
Please let us know your income and your housing allowance to help us accurately calculate your long-term disability coverage. Failure to do so may result in the benefit being inaccurate. If this were to happen, the benefit would be based on the salary figure we currently have on record.

The prescription medications may be covered at the pharmacy or may be required for mail-in or online reimbursement. After retirement there is a $15,000 lifetime maximum on benefits payable under this benefit.
