1 U.S. Business Legislative, Privacy & Projects UFS Topic Jurisdiction Effective Date Author Release Date File No. CA; HI; NJ; NY; RI; PR Reference: Disability State Plans Supersedes LI-456R Randall Sigmund 1/23/14 LI-484 HIGHLIGHTS OF STATE DISABILITY BENEFIT LAWS (JANUARY 2014) Executive Summary Six jurisdictions have laws which require employers to provide disability benefits for non-occupational disabilities. Those jurisdictions are: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. MetLife has products that employers can utilize to comply with the mandated disability requirements in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico. The attached Highlights of State Disability Benefit Laws chart outlines certain features of the laws in these six jurisdictions. Background Rhode Island enacted the first mandatory employer non-occupational disability benefits law, called Temporary Disability Insurance (or TDI) in This was followed by California s State Disability Insurance (SDI) in 1946, New Jersey s Temporary Disability (TDB) in 1948, New York s Disability Benefit Law (DBL) in 1949, Puerto Rico s Seguro por Incapacidad No Ocupacional Temporal (SINOT) in 1968, and Hawaii s Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) in Each jurisdiction provides for a different method by which employers can establish complying plans, from Rhode Island s state-administered plan (coverage is only available through the State), to Hawaii s reliance on employer-provided plans only (no State coverage). Legislative & Regulatory Information Failure to comply with these laws generally results in fines and penalties being imposed against the employer. Virtually all non-governmental, non-religious and for-profit private employers are affected. These laws are generally applicable to each distinct employing unit of an employer Metropolitan Life Insurance Company

2 2 Some jurisdictions assign unique identifying numbers to employers or employing units. Whenever any employing unit receives its own identifying number, that unit is also separately responsible for obtaining and filing a plan of disability benefits that complies with the state disability benefit law. These six mandatory disability benefit laws share two features that make them very important for employers with employees in those jurisdictions: Employers may not claim ERISA preemption for short-term disability plans in these jurisdictions, even if such plans are self-insured. This is because ERISA does not apply to plans written to comply with applicable state disability benefit laws. 1 These laws apply to employees working in these jurisdictions, regardless of the location of the employer s corporate headquarters or the situs of any of its group insurance policies or benefit plans. Affected Employers Generally, all private employers with employees working in a jurisdiction with a state disability benefit law (generally referred to as a state plan jurisdiction) are affected by such law. An employer may provide the minimum benefits required (usually called statutory benefits ) or greater benefits under the same or a supplemental plan. (In Rhode Island, any additional benefits can only be provided by a supplemental plan. In California, if an employer chooses to use its own Voluntary Plan, the plan must exceed State Fund standards in at least one area.) An employer that is subject to the state disability benefit law may never provide less than statutory benefits. Affected Employees Coverage of all full and regular part-time employees is usually required for disabilities caused by non-occupational injury or illness, including pregnancy. Employees may not collect unemployment insurance benefits for the same period as they are claiming benefits for a disability. As shown in the attached chart, some jurisdictions exempt certain students and certain other classes of employees from the state disability benefits law. Eligibility for coverage varies from the first day of employment, with no probationary period, to probationary periods that are waived for employees who were previously covered employees under a prior employer s disability plan. Pregnancy Disabilities caused by or related to pregnancy are generally treated the same as any other illness. However, in Puerto Rico, disability is presumed during the eight weeks a woman is entitled to maternity leave from her employer under Puerto Rico s Working Mothers Act. The Working Mothers Act requires the employer to pay pregnancy and child adoption leave at the worker s full salary. Therefore, SINOT disability payments are not required during that portion of a pregnancy leave where the mother is receiving Working Mothers Act benefits. However, if the woman is disabled beyond the time period of paid Working Mothers Act leave, she may be entitled to collect SINOT 1 See 29 USC 1003 (b)(3).

3 3 disability benefits. If physician certified pregnancy-related disability continues beyond eight weeks, benefits under SINOT are the same as for any other disability. Waiting Period: In general, benefits are paid after the seventh consecutive day of disability. However, in New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island, benefits may also be provided for some or all of the first seven days under certain circumstances (such as hospitalization, or a disability extending for a specified period of time). In all instances, for benefits to be payable, an employee must be certified as disabled by specified licensed practitioners. Duration of : Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico provide that benefits must continue for up to 26 weeks, or prior recovery. Rhode Island provides that benefits must continue for up to 30 weeks and California provides that benefits must continue for up to 52 weeks. are generally a percentage of an employee s wages over a specified period of time, with a statutory maximum that need not be exceeded. Some jurisdictions also have a statutory minimum benefit, regardless of the wage base of the disabled employee. Some Other : In addition to wage replacement benefits, Puerto Rico s SINOT also provides for death and dismemberment benefits. The death benefit is $4,000. The dismemberment benefit ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the severity of the loss. Rhode Island s TDI, in addition to salary-based wage replacement benefits, also provides for an additional payment for up to five dependent children under age 18 (and over age 18, if a child is disabled). Complying With These Laws Even if an employer s existing sickness and accident plan provides greater dollar benefits than required by a state plan law, a separate plan written to comply with the law of each state plan jurisdiction in which an employer has employees is usually required. This is because a disability benefits plan not specifically written to comply with state plan requirements will likely not meet minimum state plan requirements in one or more of the following areas: employee eligibility, probationary and waiting periods, practitioners from whom certification of disability must be accepted, and payment of benefits for disabilities that begin during a period after an employee s employment terminates (known as post-employment benefits). Such post-employment benefits are required under an employer s plan in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico. Also, even if an existing employer s plan meets the requirements of a state disability benefit law, there generally are filing and approval requirements with which employers must comply before the plan can be used.

4 4 Using MetLife Disability Products to Comply MetLife has insurance products that employers can purchase in order to comply with their obligations under state disability benefit laws in Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico, but not in Rhode Island, where statutory coverage is available only from the State, and in California where administrative rules have made it impractical. MetLife provides administrative services for an employer s state approved self-insured plan in California, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York. MetLife only has fully insured policies available in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, New Jersey and New York. Employers in California, New Jersey, New York and Puerto Rico may also obtain coverage directly from the state. Using Self-Insurance to Comply Subject to prior state approval, employer self-insurance is permitted in New Jersey, New York, California, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, but not in Rhode Island (which requires employers to obtain coverage directly from the State). When an employer opts for self-insurance, employer bonding and financial disclosure requirements may apply. A MetLife Administrative Services Agreement (ASA) to administer an employer s self-insured state disability plan is currently available in New York, New Jersey and California. MetLife does not currently provide administrative services for employers wishing to use self-insurance to comply with the statutory requirements of Puerto Rico. Using the Attached Highlights Chart The attached chart provides an overview of the requirements of some of the provisions of the state disability benefit laws. It focuses on the provisions concerning employer plans and reflects some of the latest changes in these laws.
